Will I definitely not have my period if I'm pregnant?

Menstruation is one of the ways for women to clear waste from the body and maintain normal physiological functions of the uterus. Under normal circumstances, women will have menstruation every month, but if they are pregnant, menstruation will temporarily stop. If a woman's menstruation is delayed for a long time, she should consider the possibility of pregnancy. If you are not sure, you can check yourself using a pregnancy test stick. So, if you are pregnant, will you definitely not have your period?

Generally speaking, the first sign that a woman is pregnant is amenorrhea. Normally, women will no longer have menstruation after becoming pregnant. A married or sexually active woman with a normal menstrual cycle should consider the possibility of pregnancy if her menstruation is delayed, but this is not absolute. A small number of women still experience vaginal bleeding on the date of their next menstrual period after becoming pregnant. This type of menstruation after pregnancy is called "pregnancy menstruation." Its characteristics are less bleeding, lighter color, shorter duration, and it is different from any previous menstruation. In fact, this is not true menstruation. This phenomenon usually occurs within 3 months of pregnancy and usually only occurs once. Some pregnant women also experience it 2 to 3 times.

Why do I still have my period after I get pregnant?

1. Because the fertilized egg implantation is not stable, the placenta has not been formed, and the menstrual period is approaching or has arrived, a mature egg will still be discharged and then discharged from the body along with the shedding of the endometrium, causing a small number of pregnant women to think they are menstruating.

2. Due to individual differences and other reasons, some women's ovaries secrete relatively low levels of sex hormones, especially progesterone, after pregnancy, causing a small part of the endometrium to continue to shed. Therefore, these women will still have menstruation after pregnancy, but the amount of menstruation will be much less than normal. It is not until three months into pregnancy that the placenta is formed and the estrogen and progesterone levels in the female body are maintained at a relatively high level. At this time, the endometrium no longer sheds and menstruation no longer occurs.

What to do if you have vaginal bleeding after pregnancy?

1. During early pregnancy, if there is vaginal bleeding, it may be caused by unstable implantation of the fertilized egg and individual differences, so it is a false alarm. But it should be noted that vaginal bleeding may also indicate abnormal conditions such as threatened abortion or ectopic pregnancy.

2. Women with threatened miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy may also experience vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy, which can easily be mistaken for normal menstruation. However, vaginal bleeding in women with threatened abortion or ectopic pregnancy is usually unrelated to the menstrual cycle, and the bleeding is often continuous and constant. Patients are also often accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain and lower abdominal distension.

3. If women of childbearing age experience the above-mentioned vaginal bleeding, they must seek medical attention as soon as possible, otherwise the child may miscarry and the pregnant woman may be at risk of death from heavy bleeding.

What should pregnant women pay attention to during pregnancy?

1. When a pregnant woman's hands touch ice, the blood vessels in the uterus will contract, which will affect the blood circulation of the fetus and affect its growth. Therefore, pregnant women should eat less ice cream, popsicles and other foods. As for cold drinks, they can be kept at room temperature as long as the temperature is above 10°C.

2. If you smoke during the first three months of pregnancy, it may increase the chance of the fetus having cleft lip or cleft palate. If you smoke during pregnancy or frequently inhale secondhand smoke, your baby will be more likely to have learning disabilities or behavioral problems in the future.

3. If you blindly think that you are weak during pregnancy, and blindly take tonic foods such as ginseng, which is sweet, warm and hot, it will be like adding fuel to the fire, which will inevitably cause a sudden increase in internal heat and blood heat. In severe cases, it may lead to threatened abortion, or prolong the labor process and cause dystocia.

4. Basically, except for several high-risk pregnancies (such as placenta previa, antepartum hemorrhage, urgent abortion, and incomplete cervical occlusion), sexual intercourse can be allowed throughout the pregnancy. During sexual intercourse, if a pregnant woman experiences strong uterine contractions, abnormal bleeding, severe lower abdominal pain, etc., she should stop sexual intercourse and seek medical attention as soon as possible. Condoms should be worn during intercourse to reduce vaginal inflammation, cervical inflammation and early rupture of membranes.

5. There is insufficient data to prove that the electromagnetic waves emitted by microwave ovens, mobile phones, computers, etc. have an impact on the fetus and will affect the health of the embryo and fetus. However, if a pregnant woman's job requires long-term exposure to the threat of electromagnetic waves, appropriate protective measures are still necessary, such as using protective clothing against electromagnetic waves to reduce exposure time and opportunities.
