Will the bleeding continue?

When approaching the due date, pregnant women will experience spotting. Spotting does not mean that they will bleed all the time. Sometimes there will be a small amount of spotting and the timing of spotting will also vary. In addition to spotting, the main symptoms of delivery are water breaking and uterine contractions. If water breaks, you must go to the hospital immediately. This cannot be delayed. In addition, there will be some pain in the abdomen, which may be a sign of delivery.

What to do after seeing red

1. Keep calm and maintain a good attitude. Since we know that the baby will not be born immediately after spotting, pregnant mothers don’t need to be too anxious or nervous if they find themselves spotting spotting, so as not to rush to the hospital in a panic.

2. Observe the red color. If the spotting is just a light streak of blood and the amount is not much, the pregnant mother can stay at home to observe and pay attention to not overwork and avoid strenuous exercise. If you experience fresh bleeding, or if the amount of bleeding exceeds that during your menstrual period, go to the hospital immediately. This situation is often not a simple sign of delivery, there may be other abnormal conditions, such as placenta previa, placental abruption and other late pregnancy hemorrhagic diseases.

3. If you experience spotting and have uterine contractions and abdominal pain, it means you are about to become a mother, so go to the hospital immediately.

4. If you go to the hospital, generally you can go in by yourself and there is no need to call an ambulance.

How long will it take to give birth after seeing red?

Spotting is a precursor to labor. Generally, spotting occurs 24 hours before labor pains, but it varies from person to person. Sometimes spotting occurs repeatedly several days or even a week before labor. Because individual differences are huge, the key is to observe the shape, color, quantity, etc. of the blood after seeing it and then make a judgment. If spotting is accompanied by regular uterine contractions, then the mother is not far from giving birth. Delivery should occur in 12-48 hours. Pregnant women should go to the hospital for observation in time.

Many people think that the second child is born much faster than the first one, so how long will it take for the second child to be born after the first bleeding? In fact, this varies from person to person. Generally speaking, the baby may be born within 3-7 days after the onset of bleeding. Therefore, mothers who are pregnant with their second child should prepare early! Compared with the first child, mothers should have more experience in giving birth to a second child, so theoretically, it will be easier to give birth.
