Picture of redness in late pregnancy

Many pregnant friends sometimes experience spotting during pregnancy when they reach the late stages of pregnancy. At this time, many pregnant friends think that they are about to give birth and rush to the hospital to give birth. However, after arriving at the hospital, they find that the spotting during pregnancy has disappeared and the doctor also recommends going home to give birth. So, why does the face turn red when giving birth? What should I do if I have spotting in late pregnancy and then stop?

1. Why does the face turn red when giving birth?

In fact, "seeing blood during pregnancy" means a small amount of vaginal bleeding, which depends on the stage of pregnancy when you have the bleeding. If it is at full term, the uterine blood vessels may be slightly reduced or enlarged, which may cause some bleeding in the vagina, which means that the pregnant woman may be about to give birth. Brown, pink, and red are all possible colors of "pregnancy bleeding". The bleeding is significantly less than menstrual bleeding. It usually occurs 24 hours before the pain, but it varies from person to person. It is usually mixed with mucus discharge and has a thick texture.

2. What is the reason for spotting in late pregnancy and then disappearing?

When the pregnant woman is close to delivery, some pregnant women can see a small amount of pink secretions discharged from the vagina, which is called pregnancy spotting, and sometimes mucus plugs may be discharged at the same time. Spotting during pregnancy is a reliable sign that labor is about to begin. Most pregnant women give birth within 24-48 hours. The amount of bleeding during pregnancy is very small. If it exceeds the menstrual volume, you should consider whether there is bleeding in late pregnancy such as placenta previa. How long it takes to give birth after the onset of bleeding during pregnancy varies from person to person. Generally, the labor process begins 48 hours after the onset of bleeding during pregnancy, but the labor process for primipara is longer, usually 11-12 hours. You don’t have to rush to the hospital. You can wait until regular pain occurs before going. As the intervals between pains gradually shorten, you are ready to give birth.

3. What should I do if I see blood in the late pregnancy?

Don't be anxious if you see spotting in the late pregnancy. Pay attention to observe the condition of spotting during pregnancy. 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.

The above are the reasons why you see spotting before delivery and the relevant solutions if you see spotting but no spotting in late pregnancy. I believe that after reading the above introduction, you already know what to do. When there is no spotting in the late pregnancy, pregnant friends must pay attention and observe carefully. If you think the baby is about to be born, go to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary inconvenience.
