I'm bleeding and I'm in the third trimester. Why is this happening and what should I do?
Genital bleeding in the third quarter occurrs in 5% of pregnant women. In most cases it does not affect the pregnancy. However there are serious obstetric causes, the main ones being: -the placentae: the placenta detaches itself from the uterine wall. -placenta previa: the placenta has an abnormally low insertion on the lower uterine segment. There are also gynecological causes unrelated to pregnancy, primarily cervicitis and cervical cancer.
You should consult a doctor immediately if:
-bleeding is badly tolerated. We conduct a general clinical examination and a blood test. -signs of severe fetal.problems We will conduct a monitoring of the fetal heart rate -the cause of bleeding. We will conduct a pelvic exam and an obstetrical ultrasound In addition, if you are Rh negative group, we will carry out a prevention of Rh incompatibility (with Rophylac).
According to the results you require:
-close surveillance , at home or in hospital; -either the onset of birth or an emergency Caesarean section.
