There are cases when on a background of pregnancy a woman appears to have a discharge similar to menstruation. The so-called washing of the fetus during pregnancy is not the norm. After the fertilization of an egg in the body of a woman, a pregnancy hormone, progesterone , is produced, which introduces its "corrections" into the monthly cycles. The presence of bloody discharge may indicate its insufficiency.
Causes of washing the fetus
As already mentioned above, the reason for washing the fetus may be an insufficient amount of progesterone. In this case, hormonal imbalance promotes the renewal of the endometrium, which is a deviation from the norm. This process does not affect either the embryo, or the place of attachment, and does not threaten pregnancy.
The next cause of bleeding may be a detachment of the placenta or fetal egg. In this case, the pregnant woman can take it for washing the fetus and lose the baby. The causes of detachment can have different character: hormonal imbalance, frozen pregnancy. Save pregnancy with partial detachment is possible only with timely access to medical care. With absolute detachment of the fetus or placenta, pregnancy can not be maintained.
Another reason for the occurrence of bloody discharge may be an ectopic pregnancy.
How is the washing of the fetus?
Symptoms of washing the fetus mainly appear on the estimated days of the month. Excretions differ from ordinary menstruation with insignificant abundance and last two or three days. They can have a brown or pink color.
Regardless of how the fetus is washed and how many days it is, it is necessary to consult a doctor and consult with him. Only a specialist can determine the seriousness of the situation and draw certain conclusions.
