What should I do if I have physiological bleeding in early pregnancy?

Pregnancy itself is a happy thing, but some women are not happy, especially when bleeding occurs in the early stages of pregnancy. Most pregnant women think that bleeding in early pregnancy is a symptom of threatened abortion. In fact, bleeding in early pregnancy is not necessarily a sign of abortion. There are physiological bleeding and pathological bleeding in early pregnancy. What should we do about physiological bleeding in early pregnancy?

What should I do if I have physiological bleeding in early pregnancy?

1. Implantation of the fertilized egg: The amount of bleeding is very small and lasts only 1 to 2 days.

2. Hormone changes: Although the hormone levels in your body will change after pregnancy, the hormonal changes brought about by the original menstrual cycle may not stop immediately, so you may also bleed before or after your usual menstrual period. Additionally, elevated estrogen levels can also cause bleeding.

3. Increased blood supply to the reproductive organs: After pregnancy, the blood supply to the cervix and pelvic area increases, and there may be spotting during cervical smear tests and vaginal examinations.

Physiological bleeding in early pregnancy generally does not need to be treated and will not affect the baby. As long as the baby itself is normal, even if bleeding is still ongoing, it generally does not affect the baby's normal development.

There is also pathological bleeding in early pregnancy

In some cases, although bleeding is not related to miscarriage and does not require fetal preservation, it is not physiological, but caused by certain pathological abnormalities. This requires pregnant mothers to pay attention to the following abnormalities:

1. Hydatidiform mole: Nausea, vomiting, dull pain in the lower abdomen, and abnormal vaginal bleeding may occur in early pregnancy. Bleeding may be continuous or intermittent and may be bright red or brown in color and may vary in amount. Symptoms may appear as early as 6 weeks of pregnancy or as late as 12 weeks of pregnancy.

2. Infection: Infection leads to inflammation, which may cause a small amount of bleeding after a cervical smear test, vaginal examination or sexual intercourse. The eroded surface of cervical erosion may also bleed during pregnancy.

3. Placenta previa: The placenta is attached to the uterus too low, lower than the baby's presenting part, and there will be painless vaginal bleeding during pregnancy.

4. Fatigue: Work pressure and fatigue can also cause bleeding in early pregnancy. If the amount of bleeding is small, just rest in bed more. However, when it is first discovered, it is best to ask a doctor to help you make a judgment so as to rule out other causes to avoid missing the opportunity for treatment.
