What is the cause of bleeding during 7 months of pregnancy?

Many people think that it is unlucky to see blood during pregnancy, because it is very likely that something bad has happened to the fetus or the pregnant woman, but in fact, if there is no big problem, it is relatively normal. Of course, we can't rule out any side effects on the body, so go to the hospital immediately. So, what is the reason for spotting during the 7th month of pregnancy?

What is the reason for spotting during pregnancy?

If vaginal bleeding occurs in the seventh month of pregnancy, the first thing to do is to have an ultrasound examination to rule out placenta previa. If the ultrasound examination shows no abnormalities, it is a possibility of threatened abortion. In this case, you need to pay more attention to bed rest and take tocolytic medication when necessary. It is recommended that people with this kind of symptoms should stay in bed and rest, and sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited.

Simply put, threatened abortion is a situation in which a woman's pregnancy is less than 28 weeks and she experiences lower abdominal pain, cervical dilation, vaginal bleeding, etc., which leads to miscarriage. Pregnancy that is less than 12 weeks is called early threatened miscarriage, and pregnancy that is between 12 and 28 weeks is called late threatened miscarriage. If a pregnant mother bleeds from the lower body, it is very likely a threatened miscarriage, also known as spotting during pregnancy. Because the amount of bleeding is different, and the time that blood stays in the female vagina is different, the color of blood during pregnancy is also different, and it can be red, light pink or even light brown. Pregnant women will also experience abdominal pain, bloating, back pain, and feel the baby moving downward. Once a pregnant woman experiences threatened miscarriage, she should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, otherwise it may cause more serious injuries, such as miscarriage or death due to infection caused by excessive bleeding. July is already in the late stage of pregnancy. At this time, the fetus is relatively stable. As long as the expectant mother does not exercise excessively, it is generally safe.

Common problems after spotting during pregnancy

1. Spotting during pregnancy does not mean that the pregnant woman will give birth immediately

Generally speaking, "spotting during pregnancy" means that the pregnant woman is about to give birth, but it naturally varies from person to person.
