Eight months pregnant discharge

If there is spotting in the early stages of pregnancy, many people can understand that because the fetus has not yet stabilized at this time, it is very easy to have some problems and see spotting. However, if you still have red spots when you are already in the eighth month of pregnancy, it is really worrying, because premature birth is very likely to occur at this time. Let’s discuss what is the cause of spotting during the eighth month of pregnancy?

What is the cause of spotting during pregnancy?

The possibility of premature birth cannot be ruled out. Due to uterine contractions, the baby's head begins to fall into the pelvis, and the placenta and endometrium gradually separate and the friction may cause blood vessels to rupture and bleed, which is commonly known as pregnancy spotting. It is usually a light pink or dark brown thick liquid, or there may be blood in the secretions.

Generally, spotting during pregnancy occurs 24 hours before the pain, but it can also occur a few days before or even a week before delivery. If there is only light bleeding and the amount is small, the pregnant mother can stay at home for observation and just pay attention not to work too hard and avoid excessive exercise. If you experience bleeding, bleeding beyond your period, or abdominal pain, you should seek medical attention immediately. You can just stay in the hospital on your own, there is no need to call an ambulance.

Common problems in late pregnancy

1. How to lie on your back and lower your head during late pregnancy:

Try to avoid postures that require you to lean back and lower your head to avoid putting too much stress on the spine. If a pregnant woman needs to pick up something from the ground, her abdomen will prevent her back from bending, so when she lies on her back, she should not only move forward slowly and gently, but also bend her knees first and distribute the weight of her body to her knees.

2. How to stand up in late pregnancy:

If you feel numbness in your body or pain in your kidneys, you can put a small pillow on your side to prevent your back from bending. If it is relatively easy for pregnant women to stand up in the first two or three months of pregnancy, then in the later stages of pregnancy, they must stand up slowly and methodically to avoid excessive tension in the abdominal muscles. Before standing up, a pregnant woman lying on her back should lie on her side, stretch her shoulders forward, bend her knees, then use her wrists to support her body, sit cross-legged, move her feet away from the front of the bed and sit up.
