In our reproductive clinic often encounter this situation, there are many patients friends menstruation came but the amount is particularly small, to the hospital a check results the doctor actually said that it is pregnant. At this time, some friends will wonder, if you are pregnant, won't you come to menstruation? Why do I have my periods when I'm pregnant?
1. First of all, we have to say that there will be no menstruation when pregnant, so why do vaginal bleeds occur?
In fact, the bleeding at this time we can not call it menstruation, because it and the menstrual menstrual mechanism has been different, not endometrial detachment bleeding, but embryo implantation point or placental bleeding, at this time we call it first trimester bleeding, or called threatened miscarriage, which is what we commonly call red.
2. How do you distinguish between menstruation and pregnancy?
The most obvious difference between threatened miscarriage and menstruation is that abnormal changes in blood volume and number of days will occur, and the rest will also appear such as changes in body temperature (due to the increase in progesterone after pregnancy, the basal body temperature will rise by about 0.5-1 ° C compared with usual), changes in appetite (some pregnant women will have symptoms of nausea and vomiting in the morning or afternoon because of changes in hormone levels in the body, and changes in eating habits) waist acid (menstruation generally has a feeling of falling abdomen and waist acid, while there are generally no similar symptoms in the first trimester).
Therefore, friends who are preparing for pregnancy, if they have different menstruation and above symptoms than usual, they can monitor the early pregnancy test strips on their own to rule out the possibility of pregnancy.
3. What should I do if I am pregnant and have early vaginal bleeding?
Early vaginal bleeding after pregnancy generally considers poor embryo activity or improper implantation position, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time to check and rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, and timely fetal protection treatment, a large part of the threatened miscarriage patients will have a good pregnancy outcome after timely medical intervention and medication to protect the fetus.
I wish every expectant mother a smooth pregnancy.
