Pregnancy menstruation, as the name suggests, refers to the recurrence of menstruation in women after pregnancy. Generally speaking, menstruation during pregnancy is considered a normal physiological phenomenon. Pregnant women do not need to be overly nervous, as long as the menstrual flow during pregnancy is relatively normal, the fetus will not have any problems. This article will introduce what is pregnancy menstruation and what is the normal amount of pregnancy menstruation.
1、 What is pregnancy menstruation
Pregnancy menstruation refers to the period that occurs during pregnancy, but it is not menstruation. Instead, there may be a small amount of bleeding during the first three months of pregnancy. Many women are unaware of their pregnancy due to menstrual bleeding during pregnancy.
Women will not experience menstruation again after pregnancy. But a small number of women still experience vaginal bleeding on the scheduled date of their next menstrual cycle after pregnancy. At this time, pregnant women often mistake it for menstruation and are unaware that they are pregnant. This situation that occurs after pregnancy is called "pregnancy menstruation". Its characteristics are less bleeding, lighter color, and shorter duration, which is different from any previous menstrual cycle. In fact, this is not a true menstrual cycle. This phenomenon occurs within 3 months of pregnancy, usually only once, and some pregnant women may experience 2-3 occurrences.
2、 What is the normal menstrual flow during pregnancy
Women do not experience menstruation after pregnancy, and amenorrhea is the earliest sign of pregnancy. Therefore, early pregnancy tests for women are conducted when menstruation is delayed and not yet available. However, there are also a few women who experience vaginal bleeding after pregnancy, which is called "pregnancy menstruation" or pregnancy bleeding. However, this type of bleeding is different from menstruation, usually a large amount of blood, so it is easy to distinguish between pregnancy bleeding and menstruation.
Generally speaking, vaginal bleeding after pregnancy does not affect fetal development and maternal health, so no special treatment is needed. It should be noted that when there are changes in menstrual cycle or volume, it is best to go to the hospital for examination to clarify the cause of the changes. Generally, if the menstrual period expires for more than 10 days, it should be suspected of pregnancy.
This article provides a detailed introduction to what pregnancy menstruation is and what amount of pregnancy menstruation is considered normal. If you are a woman who experiences pregnancy menstruation, you must know that pregnancy menstruation generally does not cause excessive bleeding, and bleeding is usually better. If there is a lot of bleeding, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to avoid miscarriage.
