Can I keep my pregnancy if I bleed at six weeks?

The sixth week of pregnancy is actually still an unstable period. In this situation, if you do not take good care of yourself, it is very easy to cause bleeding. But don't be too scared after it happens. It does not mean that you will definitely show signs of miscarriage. Patients with mild bleeding can achieve the effect of preserving the fetus after finding some treatments, but they must pay special attention not to overwork.

1. Life rules: A peaceful daily routine is the best. Don’t be too lazy (such as sleeping too much), nor be too hard-working (such as lifting heavy objects or climbing high places or taking dangerous steps). If you relax, your Qi will stagnate, leading to difficult labor; if you work too hard, your Qi will weaken, leading to fetal injury and miscarriage. Therefore, pregnant women must develop good living habits and have a regular schedule. It is best to ensure 8 hours of sleep a day and exercise appropriately. In this way, you can have sufficient physical strength and energy to deal with various situations during pregnancy. In addition, pregnant women should wear loose clothes, belts should not be too tight, and they should usually wear flat shoes. You should develop the habit of regular bowel movements and eat more fiber-rich foods to keep your bowel movements smooth. Avoid using laxatives when you have constipation.

2. Reasonable diet: Pregnant women should pay attention to choosing foods that are rich in various vitamins and trace elements and easy to digest, such as various vegetables, fruits, beans, eggs, meat, etc. People with weak gastrointestinal tract should be cautious when eating foods with cold properties, such as mung beans, white fungus, lotus seeds, etc. People with yin deficiency and excessive fire should be cautious when eating foods that can easily cause people to get angry, such as rooster, beef, dog meat, carp, etc. There are many folk dietary prescriptions that are very effective in preventing habitual abortion and threatened abortion.

① Add 50 grams each of lotus seeds and longan pulp, simmer the soup, add 100 grams of yam powder and cook porridge. Start taking it after pregnancy, once a day. This prescription is suitable for those who suffer from vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, soreness of waist and legs, pale tongue coating, and a history of habitual miscarriage. ② Roast 3 pumpkin stems and 6 lotus stems until they turn yellow and grind into powder. Take it with rice soup in 3 doses and finish it in 1 day. This prescription is suitable for patients with blood-heat type threatened abortion who experience abdominal pain due to fetal movement, vaginal bleeding, red face and dry mouth, fever in the five parts of the body, and short and red urine several months after pregnancy.

3. Pay attention to personal hygiene: Pregnant women should take baths and change underwear frequently, but should not take baths or swim. Be careful not to catch cold when bathing. Pay special attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. You can wash the vulva with clean warm water every night to prevent bacterial infection.

4. Keep a good mood: Studies have shown that some spontaneous abortions are caused by central nervous system excitement in pregnant women. Therefore, pregnant women should pay attention to regulating their emotions, try to keep a good mood, avoid all kinds of adverse stimulation, eliminate tension, boredom, and fear, and especially avoid extreme joy, sorrow, anger, and worry, otherwise it will be very detrimental to the growth and development of the fetus.

5. Regular prenatal check-ups: Pregnant women should start regular prenatal check-ups in the second trimester to promptly detect and deal with abnormalities in pregnancy and ensure the healthy development of the fetus.

Be careful about sexual intercourse: Pregnant women with a history of spontaneous abortion should avoid sexual intercourse within 3 months of pregnancy and after 7 months. Those with habitual abortion should strictly prohibit sexual intercourse during this period.
