Bleeding during pregnancy can be described as one of the most feared situations for expectant mothers during pregnancy.
Because that often means: miscarriage.
But the pregnant mother's most feared "see red" is not necessarily a miscarriage, let's take a look at it.
Time of bleeding
Did it appear after a few weeks of pregnancy?
Is it after activity, after waking up, or after going to the toilet?
The state of the blood
Is it bright red or dark brown? Is it sticky or clear?
The rate of bleeding
Is it continuous, intermittent, or occasional?
The amount of blood
Observe the amount of bleeding, compared with the daily menstrual volume, is it more, comparable to it, less, or less?
Accompanying symptoms
Calm down, in a awake state, close your eyes, feel your body with your heart, and experience whether there is discomfort, such as abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, etc.
After completing the above observations, the pregnant mother basically has a preliminary understanding of her own bleeding.
Depending on the time of pregnancy, the causes of bleeding are roughly as follows:
1. Normal bleeding
This happens to most pregnant mothers.
In the process of pregnancy, the uterus continues to enlarge, but the cervix does not grow synchronously, so the intima located between the two appears "distance".
At this time, a very small amount of bleeding can be caused.
When the uterus becomes larger, the bleeding disappears, usually waiting about ten days.
2. Implantation bleeding
Some expectant mothers will speculate about whether they are pregnant through bleeding in the first trimester.
Although this method is naïve, it is true that some people have a small amount of bleeding in the week or so after the ovulation period, which is likely to be a small amount of bleeding in the lining of the lining during implantation of the fertilized egg, which generally lasts for two or three days, and there are no obvious symptoms.
Of course, no implantation bleeding does not mean that the fertilized egg does not implant, you know, the vast majority of people will not bleed.
3. Birthed pregnancy
It's a survival of the fittest, and normal people have a miscarriage rate of about 15%.
Fewer people will have biochemical pregnancy, in short, that is, various laboratory tests indicate pregnancy, but the fertilized egg does not implant.
It usually manifests as a delay in menstruation for about a week before the lower body begins to bleed slowly and leisurely, and the amount of bleeding is similar to the amount of menstruation.
4. Subchoriohea
As the fertilized egg develops, the chorionic membrane gradually forms.
Its main function is to envelop the fetus and amniotic fluid, and to fit the endometrium closely, but in some cases it can detach, leading to bleeding.
Some pregnant mothers will find a hematoma next to the gestational sac when they do ultrasound at seven or eight weeks of pregnancy, and usually feel a tight stomach or slight discomfort.
In general, this condition disappears as the fetus grows.
5. Cervical disease
These include cervical lesions, cervical polyps or uterine polyps.
It is generally recommended that you check the problems of the cervix during the preparation period, and if there is a problem to deal with in time, there is no problem to prepare for pregnancy.
Otherwise, bleeding during pregnancy is almost a minute-by-minute affair.
6. Threatened miscarriage
If there is bleeding during pregnancy, it is recommended to exclude all the factors mentioned above and then consider miscarriage.
Previously, it was mentioned that the miscarriage rate of normal people is 15%, and I hope that everyone will have a normal heart for this.
After all, most of the reasons for miscarriage in the first trimester are the poor quality of the embryo itself, and there are different degrees of chromosomal abnormalities and developmental abnormalities.

Usually the amount of bleeding from miscarriage is similar to that of menstruation, accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen, similar to the feeling of menstruation usually, in fact, the uterus excretes the embryo through contractions.
7. Mole mole
This is a very serious situation.
As mentioned before, the chorionic membrane is part of the development of a fertilized egg.
But if the fertilized egg is bent on developing the chorionic membrane but does not develop the embryo at all, these chorionic membranes will grow into a bunch of grape-like tissue, which is called a mole.
Its typical manifestation is bleeding.
Ultrasound B images are snowflake-like echoes that require immediate termination of pregnancy as soon as they are detected, either by clearing the uterus or by chemotherapy.
