It is said that pregnant women should be particularly careful at three months of pregnancy. Once there is a slight physical discomfort, family members may panic, let alone early pregnancy bleeding. Regardless of the situation, in addition to caring about the physical health of pregnant women, special attention should also be paid to the impact on the fetus. So, does early pregnancy bleeding have an impact on the fetus?
The impact of early pregnancy bleeding on the fetus depends on the situation
Early pregnancy bleeding is not a scary thing as long as the cause of the bleeding is identified and corresponding measures are taken. Experts believe that the timing and cause of bleeding during pregnancy are different. Some situations do not require too much worry, as long as they are taken seriously, they can be stopped and there is no danger to the baby in the abdomen. However, there are some situations that require timely medical attention.
Reasons for early pregnancy bleeding
1. Abortion
During the first 3 months of pregnancy, there may be slight bleeding or brown discharge from the vagina, with or without the discharge of blood clots or pregnancy products, sometimes accompanied by abdominal or back pain, which is often a sign of miscarriage.
2. Ectopic pregnancy
Ectopic pregnancy usually causes bleeding around two months of pregnancy, accompanied by varying degrees of nausea and abdominal pain. Once a tubal pregnancy ruptures, there will be massive intra-abdominal bleeding and severe abdominal pain, which is highly likely to trigger shock.
3. Grape placenta
If molar pregnancy is not detected in the early stages, symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, anemia, and uterine enlargement usually begin in mid pregnancy. More severe cases can cause gestational nausea and gestational hypertension syndrome (proteinuria, hypertension, edema), etc. Most molar pregnancy patients have intermittent small amounts of bleeding, but there may be repeated heavy bleeding during this period, and sometimes blister like substances may also be found in the blood.
Although early pregnancy bleeding does not necessarily indicate a problem with the fetus, it may only be a problem with the pregnant woman. However, bleeding is an "alarm" during pregnancy, and pregnant women should still take it seriously and go to the hospital for examination to ensure that it will not affect the fetus in order to truly feel at ease.
