It is often encountered that pregnant mothers ask what to do if they see red, and seeing red during pregnancy is a very worrying thing for pregnant mothers. Red generally appears in the third trimester and is about to give birth, indicating that the baby is about to be born. Seeing red in the second trimester is a thing worth vigilance about.
Today we will talk about those things that are popular during pregnancy!
Seeing red is actually a small amount of blood flowing out of the vagina.
The meaning of seeing red in different periods is also different:
【First trimester】
About 1/4 of pregnant women will have different degrees of redness in the first trimester:
1. When the implantation of a fertilized egg occurs about 6 to 7 days or even 10 days after fertilization, there may be a slight bleeding situation for one or two days. At this time, pay attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise.
2. When it is 7-8 weeks of pregnancy, it will also produce abnormal vaginal bleeding, and it is necessary to be vigilant, it is likely that ectopic pregnancy will occur, and it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time.
3. Irregular vaginal bleeding at 8-12 weeks of pregnancy, the amount is uncertain, and accompanied by abdominal pain, at this time to suspect whether it is a mole, go to the doctor in time to check, once confirmed as a mole must undergo uterine surgery.
【Second trimester】
Redness in the second trimester is generally caused by the following reasons:
1. Pregnant women who are too tired, work pressure or mood swings may cause bleeding, which is physiological bleeding, and needs to pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, and regulate stress and emotions.
2. If bleeding is accompanied by significant abdominal pain, special attention should be paid to timely medical attention and the possibility of threatened miscarriage should be considered.
3. If there is bleeding but no abdominal pain or mild abdominal pain, first consider whether it is placenta previa, placental abruption, etc., which must be examined in time. It should be noted that placental abruption is relatively secretive, often with obvious abnormalities of fetal heart monitoring, and severe cases may have persistent and obvious abdominal pain and/or back pain.
【Third trimester】
Seeing red in the third trimester is basically a harbinger of the baby's launch:
In the third trimester, the cervical opening begins to move in preparation for childbirth. The activity of the cervical orifice causes the membrane of the cervical orifice to peel off from the uterine wall, and the capillaries in this area are relatively abundant, and the process of separation may cause some capillaries to rupture and bleed. Blood is excreted from the body with the mucus secreted by the cervical canal, which is a phenomenon of redness before childbirth.
So what are the characteristics of seeing red before giving birth?
1. The color of red will appear brown, pink, red, etc.
2. The amount of bleeding is significantly less than that of the physiological period.
3. There will be mixed mucus flowing out, and the texture will be viscous.
Two days ago, a full-term pregnant mother asked: I see red, but I don't feel it, do I have to go to the hospital to give birth now?
Most pregnant women will not give birth until 1-2 days after seeing red, and some even take 4-5 days. So if you just see red and don't feel the pain, you don't need to go to the hospital immediately, just wait for regular contractions at home.
See the red pregnant mothers do not be nervous, should pay attention to rest and nourish the spirit.
Insufficient rest can lead to a decrease in physical strength, which is detrimental to production. At this time, let your mood be calm, do not be impatient, pay attention to rest, and ensure that you are full of energy.
Dr. Huang reminded that after the pregnant woman in labor has a red situation, if there is no uncomfortable place, there is no need to worry too much. But as soon as the amount of bleeding is high, or accompanied by pain, it is necessary to go to the hospital immediately.
