Is bleeding a symptom of early pregnancy?

For women in the early stages of pregnancy, they may not know what symptoms they will experience in the early stages of pregnancy. If they find something abnormal in their body, they will start to scare themselves and worry about miscarriage, because the first three months of pregnancy is a high-incidence period for miscarriage. Therefore, it is very necessary for pregnant mothers to understand the symptoms of early pregnancy. Next, let’s discuss whether early pregnancy symptoms will cause bleeding.

Will bleeding occur during early pregnancy?

The combination of sperm and egg will implant the embryo in the uterus within 6-12 days after pregnancy. At this time, some pregnant women may have mild vaginal bleeding. If this happens, if the vaginal bleeding is mild and there are no serious discomfort symptoms, pregnant women do not need to worry, as it is a normal physiological need when the embryo is implanted and does not harm the body. Implantation bleeding is mainly manifested as a small amount of blood or blood spots, which can be seen several times a day. The bleeding lasts for about three days, and there is no discomfort during menarche.

Causes of bleeding in early pregnancy

In addition to the above-mentioned bleeding symptoms in early pregnancy, there are also the following reasons:

1. Cervical disease

If a pregnant woman has cervical disease causing erosion before pregnancy, or has existing cervical cysts, then during pregnancy it is very likely that changes in growth hormone will cause the surface capillaries to rupture and bleed. Therefore, if a pregnant woman has vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy, a cervical examination should be performed.

2. Ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy can also cause bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy, because the embryo implants outside the uterus and cannot provide sufficient nutrients to the embryo, causing the slowly growing sperm and egg to combine and cause the walls of the fallopian tubes to swell, which can lead to wall ruptures. Bleeding caused by ectopic pregnancy usually occurs at 7-8 weeks of pregnancy, accompanied by severe abdominal pain or intra-abdominal bleeding.

3. Hydatidiform mole

Pregnant women with hydatidiform mole may also experience pregnancy bleeding, accompanied by severe morning sickness or symptoms such as palpitations. Women who are under 20 or over 35, who have a history of miscarriage or hydatidiform mole, etc. should be careful about whether they will have a hydatidiform mole again.
