What to do if you have spotting during the 9th month of pregnancy

When a pregnant mother is close to giving birth, if she experiences symptoms such as contractions, spotting, and water breaking, it means that she is about to give birth. Why does spotting occur? It is because the uterus contracts, the baby's head begins to fall into the pelvis, and the fetal membrane and uterine wall gradually separate and the friction will cause blood vessels to rupture and bleed. This is commonly known as spotting.

The "red" in spotting is usually a pink or brown viscous liquid, or blood in the secretions. Generally, spotting occurs 24 hours before labor pains, but it may also occur repeatedly a few days before delivery or even a week before delivery. If there is only a light streak of blood and the amount is not large, the pregnant mother can stay at home to observe. She needs to be careful not to overwork and avoid strenuous exercise. If you experience fresh bleeding, the amount of bleeding exceeds that during your menstrual period, or you experience abdominal pain, you should be hospitalized immediately.

Generally speaking, labor pains will begin within 24 hours after spotting, and you will enter the delivery stage. But the reality is that many people give birth a few days or even a week after spotting. There are great individual differences, so the key is to observe its shape, color, quantity, etc. after seeing the red and then make a judgment.
