Bleeding at 10 Weeks Pregnant - These are all things you should know about bleeding that occurs in the early weeks of pregnancy, especially in the age of 10 weeks pregnant. I will only convey the important points that you must pay attention.
When the bleeding in the first trimester and there is no physical cause that explains it, may be administered progesterone until week 10 of pregnancy. Avoid sexual intercourse and excessive physical activity until you have spent at least seven days without any bleeding.
- Molar pregnancy. If the placenta grows abnormally during the first few months it becomes a mass of cysts (called a hydatidiform mole) that looks like a bunch of white grapes. The embryo will not get to be or is malformed and can not survive. In this case, vaginal bleeding is usually dark brown, occurs around the 10th week of pregnancy and is accompanied by nausea and vomiting of a serious nature, high blood pressure and abdominal cramps.
- Injuries in the cervix. In the first weeks, it is very common due to bleeding caused trauma to the cervix, which is very congestive due to increased blood supply and often inflamed by the presence of vaginal bacteria, very common at this stage of pregnancy. For the same reason, after a gynecological examination, there may be little genital bleeding.
- Vasa previa. This type of bleeding occurs due to an alteration in the formation of blood vessels supplying the placenta. Blood is light red and very abundant, but no pain. It is more common in the second quarter and requires a cesarean.
What should I do?
Although most of the time it's nothing serious, it is important to see a doctor whenever you have vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, no matter how slight and even if not accompanied by other symptoms like abdominal pain. Prevention is the only way to prevent spontaneous abortion and time treat other problems.
Once at the medical center, you will perform an ultrasound to confirm that the fetus is well also to ask about the color of blood, other possible symptoms, medical history, etc.
If not anything serious, the most common treatment is the most simple and classic, to rest. It is the first thing to be tested when the loss is small. In cases of persistent and heavy losses can be tested with inhibitors of the uterus, which will relax so there are no contractions. Progesterone is also prescribed a hormone whose main mission is to protect pregnancy and is naturally secreted by the mother.
