When we think about the discovery of a pregnancy, the first symptom that comes to mind is menstrual delay, isn’t it? But did you know that many women continue to menstruate throughout the gestational period? But is pregnancy with menstruation a common combination? Does it not pose risks to the baby? What are the reasons for this?
The pregnancy menstruation is not a common combination, for the blood eliminated during menstruation is the blood that is directed to fetal development, so it should rather be investigated to find out the reason. Problems such as placental detachment or even an ectopic pregnancy are reasons for the woman to bleed during pregnancy and special care is needed since they pose a risk of miscarriage.
In the first days of pregnancy, bleeding after conception is considered common, which until discovered can be identified as the menstruation that is coming normally. But this bleeding lasts an average of 2 days and has its color changed , appearing in a more pink color that may be accompanied by conventional cramps. This symptom confuses the woman even more, making sure that she is in her menstrual period since the symptoms are identical. However, with the sudden disappearance of the bleeding, the suspicion of pregnancy occurs and a test must be carried out for verification.
Preferably for reliable tests that offer a greater sensitivity to HCG, providing a more reliable result, such as the Famivita brand pregnancy tests that offer 10 Mui of sensitivity, being able to detect HCG up to two days before menstrual delay. You can purchase it here in our online store.
When bleeding escaping from any characteristic, including coffee grounds, occurs after the discovery of pregnancy, it is necessary to seek medical advice to assess the condition. Women who suffer from bleeding during pregnancy need absolute rest without any effort to ensure that a miscarriage does not occur. Some tests such as ultrasound will be requested to verify the cause and ensure and monitor that the pregnancy remains healthy and the baby develops as expected.
Main Reasons for Bleeding in Pregnancy
Some escapes are considered common at any stage of pregnancy and do not pose any risk to fetal development. However, medical evaluation is necessary to rule out risks and confirm what is happening. In the case of constant bleeding, loss of bright red blood with or without clots, abdominal pain, loss of fluid and fever, prompt attention should be sought immediately. The main reasons for bleeding in pregnancy are:
Nesting: During the embryo implantation, it is common to have a small rupture of blood vessels that result in a slight bleeding. This fact does not pose any risk to pregnancy.
Sexual intercourse : Sex is not prohibited during pregnancy but during sexual intercourse blood vessels may rupture as the cervix is more sensitive at this stage and a little bleeding will occur. Sexual intercourse should only be avoided if you are at risk of miscarriage and on medical advice.
Intercurrence in the cervix: Wounds can be found in the cervix that normally disappear naturally. When they do not occur, they need cauterization to prevent the bleeding from continuing.
Displacement of the placenta: with the development of pregnancy, the placenta can displace and cause bleeding. When the fact is detected, immediate and absolute rest is necessary, offering risks of premature birth and abortion.
Ectopic pregnancy: As the main symptom of bleeding, pregnancy outside the uterus poses great risks to the mother, especially when it develops in the fallopian tubes. After an ultrasound is performed, the treatment is performed through surgical intervention or medication.
In the third trimester, the bleeding that can occur is the bleeding caused by the baby’s fitting. In the last few weeks, the baby will be turning each day, fitting in and positioning itself for the birth and in these movements it is common for light bleeding to occur, next to the outlet of the mucous plug . Even though normality is reported in some of the bleeds, every case must be checked and analyzed by the obstetrician , who will check the dangers and what precautions should be taken to ensure the health of the baby and the mother.

Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
