Pregnant but bleeding like period

Many female friends basically don’t know they are pregnant when they just start, unless they miss their period and then find out by testing with test strips. In the early stages of pregnancy, the pregnant woman and the baby in the belly are very dangerous. You should always pay attention. A small number of pregnant women often suffer miscarriage due to some external reasons, such as menstruation and bleeding in the lower body. If this phenomenon occurs, you should go to the hospital for treatment and protect the fetus in time.

How to protect the fetus in case of threatened miscarriage

1. Early threatened abortion refers to a disease in which a small amount of vaginal bleeding occurs in the early stages of pregnancy (before 12 weeks of pregnancy) accompanied by mild lower abdominal pain and back pain. Severe cases may lead to miscarriage. Early threatened miscarriage is mainly caused by the weak constitution of the pregnant woman, or fatigue, trauma (including improper vaginal examination and sexual intercourse).

2. Pregnant women with symptoms of early threatened abortion should go to the hospital for examination first. After the doctor's examination, if no genetic diseases or serious illnesses are found; the B-ultrasound examination shows that the embryo is developing normally and there is fetal heartbeat; and the blood test shows that the level of human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood is normal. In this case, the pregnant woman can receive treatment to preserve the pregnancy. In short, pregnant women who have not found out the cause of early threatened miscarriage should not undergo fetal preservation treatment without authorization. Pregnant women who have experience in preserving pregnancy should also go to the hospital for amniocentesis or B-ultrasound examinations in the second half of pregnancy after successfully preserving the pregnancy. If the fetus is found to have malformations, the pregnancy should be terminated immediately.

What should I pay attention to when trying to protect my pregnancy during threatened abortion?

1. Pay attention to abdominal pain when trying to protect the fetus during threatened abortion

If expectant mothers experience back pain and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen that does not ease after rest or even gets worse, they should be alert. If the lower abdominal pain worsens, accompanied by vaginal bleeding and tissue-like discharge, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

2. Pay attention to the amount and nature of bleeding when trying to preserve the fetus during threatened abortion

If you experience vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy, you should always observe whether there is any tissue discharged in the vaginal discharge. It is best to save the discharge and take it to the hospital for examination by a doctor. If the amount of bleeding increases, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

3. Rest is the key to protecting the fetus during threatened abortion

Pregnant women should rest in bed more and reduce activities, but this does not mean they should lie in bed motionless for 24 hours. They should do some light activities appropriately. Sexual intercourse must be prohibited and unnecessary vaginal examinations should be minimized to reduce stimulation to the uterus. In addition, breast stimulation should be avoided, as it can also cause uterine contractions and lead to threatened miscarriage.
