Bleeding during pregnancy

Some pregnant women will experience bleeding when they are five months pregnant. The chance of this happening is very high, which will affect the health of themselves and the fetus. They should still have regular prenatal check-ups to determine whether the fetus in their belly is developing and growing normally. They should also pay more attention to rest and avoid using any medications as these will cause side effects on the body.

Health care measures

The first three months of pregnancy are an unstable period, and the placenta will not function fully until about three months. Therefore, the placental function and ovarian function in the early stage of pregnancy are not yet complete, and the secretion of progesterone is insufficient. Progesterone is the so-called tocolytic hormone. In the case of insufficient tocolytic hormone, the first three months of pregnancy are in an unstable period. In addition, the first three months is an important period for the development of the fetal neural brain pipeline. Expectant mothers must also pay special attention to avoid hindering the development of the fetus's central nervous system. The following four points are the general principles that need to be paid attention to in the early stages of pregnancy:

1. Pay attention to fatigue

It is generally hoped that expectant mothers do not engage in too much activity in the first three months of pregnancy, as it may cause threatened miscarriage. If vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, etc. occur, these are warning signs of threatened miscarriage and you need to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition, this situation may be caused by being too tired or doing too much activity, and the expectant mother also needs to rest in bed more.

2. Use of drugs

The first three months of pregnancy are the critical period for the development of the fetus's central nervous system. Therefore, you should be particularly careful when using medications and inform your doctor that you are pregnant when seeing a doctor.

3. Avoid radiation

During the first three months of pregnancy, activities should be limited to the minimum possible effect on the fetal nervous system development. Therefore, if X-rays are necessary, doctors should be asked to prescribe the lowest dose.

When irradiating, remember to cover your stomach with a protective shield.

4. Balanced Diet

During pregnancy, you need to consume a balanced diet of the six major food groups. If the expectant mother has anemia, she can take iron supplements after diagnosis by a doctor. In the first three months of pregnancy, morning sickness is severe due to hormonal changes, and vitamin B6 can be taken to alleviate the symptoms.
