Unfortunately, expectant mothers have a lot of reasons not tonot only for joy, but also for excitement - of course, because they are now the guardians of another small and such a dear life. And one of the reasons for concern can be discharge in the early stages of pregnancy. Most often, these discharges are completely harmless, but sometimes they still serve as a signal of danger. Therefore, a pregnant woman should pay close attention to her body and note the slightest changes. And we will tell you what to expect from this or that discharge. Of course, only a gynecologist can accurately determine the cause, but with certain knowledge, you can at least assume what is happening to you and whether it is time to seek help.

Ordinary vaginal discharge

Vaginal discharge is common to all women withoutexceptions, and from birth. Before puberty, they are almost unnoticeable, and then they become much more abundant. One woman has more, another has less. During pregnancy, the nature and amount of discharge also often changes, which cannot but worry women. Discharge can be very different:

• Increase in the number of excretions

If you notice that the gasket has to bechange much more often, pay attention to the discharge - if they have not changed their color and smell, there is no need to worry - this is a normal process associated with several factors. Firstly, a woman's body undergoes hormonal changes. Secondly, nature takes care of the baby's protection - abundant discharge prevents pathogenic microflora from entering the uterus.

• Curd selection

If the discharge resembles in consistencycottage cheese, white in color and have a sour smell, most likely you are faced with a disease such as thrush. In addition to discharge, a woman complains of irritation of the genitals, itching and burning. Thrush during pregnancy is an extremely common phenomenon. This is explained simply - during pregnancy, there is a significant weakening of the immune system. Therefore, you should not be afraid - more than half of all expectant mothers go through this. However, thrush should not be ignored under any circumstances - it must be treated. Otherwise, the disease will appear again and again. And this is quite fraught - not only will you experience discomfort, but there may also be serious problems during childbirth. Firstly, most likely during childbirth you will infect the baby. Secondly, there is a high probability of ruptures, since due to thrush, the perineal tissues become more vulnerable. Today, there are quite a lot of drugs that successfully cure thrush in the shortest possible time and without causing any harm to the health and development of your baby. Of course, all drugs should be selected only by your gynecologist. Otherwise, you risk encountering unwanted side effects.

• Discharges with an unpleasant odor and unusual color

If you have discharge of an unusual color,for example, too yellow or with an unpleasant odor, you should worry - unfortunately, if you are sexually active, there is always a chance of sexually transmitted diseases. And you should never forget about inflammatory processes - many people believe that expectant mothers are not susceptible to them. But in fact, this is not true - it is during the first trimester of pregnancy that the greatest number of all kinds of inflammatory processes in the genital area occurs. Inflammation should never be ignored - it is very difficult to predict what consequences the disease will have in your case. Many refuse the proposed treatment - they say that the drugs are harmful to the child. But the mother's sick body will harm him much more. And a competent doctor will select a course of treatment that will not harm the child's body.

• Mucous discharge

Some expectant mothers notice vaginalmucus-like discharge, most often yellowish or pink. And sometimes there is so much of it that the expectant mother begins to panic - is everything okay? Most likely, the reason for such a change is nothing other than hormonal changes in the body. But it goes without saying that the most reasonable thing to do in this situation would be to warn your doctor - let him make sure that you have not encountered any infection, which is especially likely if the discharge is yellow.

Bloody issues

Bloody discharge in early pregnancypregnancy scares the expectant mother the most - and this is quite understandable - it is unlikely that blood will appear just like that, without a reason. But there is no need to panic - not always these reasons are so dangerous for the normal course of pregnancy. Although you should not ignore them under any circumstances - you can miss a serious pathology. Most often, bloody discharge appears in the following cases:

• Introduction of the fetal egg

After the egg is fertilized, it beginsits way through the fallopian tubes into the uterine cavity. After the goal is achieved, the embryo will begin to implant itself into the uterine mucosa. And this very process is accompanied by slight bleeding. Strictly speaking, it is difficult to even call it bleeding - the discharge is very scanty, bloody. As a rule, they disappear on their own after two or three days. By the way, it is precisely this type of bleeding that women often mistake for menstruation and are then very surprised by their pregnancy. Therefore, if you notice that your period was suspiciously scanty, be sure to make sure that it is really menstruation, if you do not want surprises.

• Threat of abortion

A fairly common reason for its appearancebleeding in early pregnancy - this is a threat of its termination. It sounds unpleasant, but in fact, in most cases, timely seeking medical help allows a woman to maintain the pregnancy and become a happy mother. Such bleeding begins sparsely - light spotting. In addition, the expectant mother may complain of pain in the lower abdomen and lower back. At the first symptoms, a woman should lie down and call an ambulance. Almost always, doctors in such situations offer hospitalization - do not refuse under any circumstances!

• Miscarriage

If the bleeding becomes very heavy, andthe pain is severe, and even cramping, most likely the pregnant woman has faced such a disaster as a miscarriage or spontaneous termination of pregnancy. However, in this case, panic should not be allowed under any circumstances - modern medicine allows you to save a pregnancy even when a miscarriage is already underway. Therefore, immediately lie down, call an ambulance, and then your family and friends if you are alone at home. Describe all the symptoms to the dispatcher so that he can assess the severity of the situation and give the exact home address - this will ensure a faster arrival of doctors. In no case should you go to the hospital on your own - if you start bleeding heavily on the way, your life will be in danger.

• Ectopic pregnancy

Another dangerous condition that canprovoke bleeding - this is an ectopic pregnancy. It develops if the embryo is implanted not in the uterus, but in its cervix, abdominal cavity or, which is most common, in the fallopian tube. Unfortunately, such a pregnancy always ends the same way - with its termination, because no organ, except the uterus, is capable of providing the child with nutrition and oxygen, or even stretching to the size necessary for the baby. And it is precisely when the size of the embryo becomes critical that bleeding appears - at first just spotting, but then more profuse. If the woman does not receive immediate medical care, the tube will burst and there will be a very serious threat to life. Therefore, when bleeding appears, the doctor must first rule out an ectopic pregnancy. In our time, this is not difficult to do - it is enough to conduct an ultrasound examination, which will determine exactly where the embryo is. If an ectopic pregnancy is confirmed, doctors will immediately provide assistance to the woman - remove the fetus. And the sooner this is done, the better. The chances of saving the fallopian tube are decreasing every day, so do not delay your visit to the doctor. Do you want to become a happy mother in the future?

• Frozen pregnancy

Another sad reason that mayprovoke bleeding - this is a frozen pregnancy, during which the fetus stops developing and dies. It is difficult to say for sure why this happens - most often, doctors are never able to establish the cause, but the fact remains - this does happen. And one of the first signs is bleeding - most often not profuse, bloody. Medical care should be provided to the woman as quickly as possible - the doctor will clear the uterine cavity of the dead fetus and fetal membranes, after which the woman will be prescribed antibiotics to prevent the development of the inflammatory process, as well as drugs that promote uterine contraction. If this is not done, the development of such a formidable complication as sepsis is likely. As you can see, there are many reasons that provoke discharge during early pregnancy, and most of them are quite serious. Therefore, the only correct decision a woman can make is This is an immediate visit to the doctor. Of course, evaluate your condition first, because pregnant women have a tendency to escalate the situation - you shouldn't wake up your doctor in the middle of the night just because you thought your panty liner was too wet. This can easily wait until the morning - doctors are people too and sleep at night. But if you have severe stomach or lower back pain, dizziness, general weakness, bloody discharge, and it doesn't matter what kind - heavy or not - call an ambulance immediately, because delay can be expensive. And most importantly - take care of yourself, because the health and life of your baby depends on you!
