After full-term pregnancy, expectant mothers enter a stage of both tension and anticipation, as the baby may finally meet the expectant mother at any time. Due to the different physical fitness of expectant mothers, their expected delivery date and postpartum reactions also vary. So, what is the condition of full-term pregnancy with redness?
After full-term pregnancy, expectant mothers may experience the discharge of a small amount of blood and viscous secretions in the vagina that are pink, red, or reddish brown in color, accompanied by mucus. This is known as redness.
Seeing red is due to the contraction of the uterus of the expectant mother, causing the fetal head to fall near the cervix. The membrane that wraps around the fetus repeatedly rubs and separates from the uterine wall, resulting in the rupture of the capillaries on the uterine wall and bleeding.
Seeing red is a sign that expectant mothers are about to give birth, but due to their different physical conditions, some expectant mothers may experience labor pains after seeing red. As the pain gradually becomes more regular, the intervals between them become shorter and shorter, and expectant mothers begin to give birth in a very short time. Some expectant mothers may experience water breakthrough after seeing red. Therefore, expectant mothers should first stabilize their emotions and immediately go to the hospital with their family to check the condition of themselves and their unborn baby.
If the expectant mother does not show any other signs of labor after seeing the redness, she can follow the doctor's advice to go home and wait for delivery, but she needs to be careful not to overwork and rest in bed appropriately.
