To determine whether a woman is pregnant, most women rely on their menstrual cycle. Once their menstrual cycle stops, it may indicate pregnancy. However, some women still experience vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, which can be confusing. So, let's find out if it's possible for menstruation to occur during pregnancy?
After pregnancy, there will be significant changes in hormone levels in the body, which will directly affect menstrual regularity. Due to the increase in progesterone levels, the endometrium will no longer shed, so menstruation will stop and generally will not continue. If vaginal bleeding occurs during pregnancy, it may indicate threatened miscarriage.
Especially in the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus's condition is still unstable and it is easy to experience vaginal bleeding. Therefore, pregnant women should learn to distinguish whether it is a threatened miscarriage. Vaginal bleeding at this time is different from menstruation, with a small amount of bleeding and a relatively short duration. Sometimes it may also be accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain and lower back pain, so it is important to be cautious of the occurrence of miscarriage.
If vaginal bleeding occurs near the due date, it is not considered threatened miscarriage and may indicate the need for delivery. At this time, the fetal head will continue to descend, and pregnant women may also experience symptoms of uterine contractions. In order to avoid danger to the fetus, it is necessary to go to the hospital for delivery in a timely manner.
