What to do if you have bright red spotting at 8 weeks of pregnancy

Some friends may find bleeding during the pregnancy process, which makes them feel very worried. They worry that such a situation may mean miscarriage and they will not be able to have their own children. So what should they do if they see bright red bleeding in 8 weeks of pregnancy? Let's take this doubt and look at the standard answer to the question.

What is the cause of bleeding at 8 weeks of pregnancy?

There are several possibilities for vaginal bleeding during the eighth week of pregnancy, which is the early stages of pregnancy. The most common one is threatened abortion. The incidence of threatened abortion is relatively high in early pregnancy, and it is mainly manifested by dull pain in the lower abdomen, accompanied by a small amount of bleeding in the vagina. The vast majority of threatened abortions have a good prognosis after a certain period of tocolytic treatment and can become pregnant again. Another possibility of bleeding during pregnancy is ectopic pregnancy. The clinical symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are pain on one side of the lower abdomen accompanied by vaginal bleeding. The pain may initially be soreness or heaviness. In the later stages, if an ectopic pregnancy ruptures, tearing pain may occur. In this case, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible.

The most common vaginal bleeding in pregnant women at 8 weeks of pregnancy is threatened abortion, which usually presents with vaginal bleeding or lower abdominal distension and pain. Symptoms and treatment of threatened miscarriage:

Pregnant women with threatened miscarriage usually have vaginal bleeding, accompanied by back pain and lower abdominal pain. There are two situations according to the bleeding color:

1. If the bleeding color of a pregnant woman is brown, there is no need to worry, as it means the bleeding has stopped. Just get more rest and avoid exercise.

2. If the color of a pregnant woman's bleeding shows red, she should pay attention and go to the hospital for regular check-ups and treatments immediately, and carry out fetal preservation treatment under the advice of a doctor. Generally, if the bleeding is heavy, miscarriage cannot be avoided and a curettage should be performed immediately; if the bleeding is light, recuperation and adequate rest should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and fetal preservation treatment should be carried out.

One thing to note about threatened abortion bleeding is that no matter what the blood color is, if abnormal bleeding occurs once a day, you must rest in bed for three days, avoid push-ups and other abdominal exercises, and avoid holding urine and constipation that may lead to increased intra-abdominal pressure.
