Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for almost three months now. In the early stages, my fetus was very stable, but now there's a bit of blood again between my legs. According to what I understand, it shouldn't be a symptom of miscarriage at this stage because a three-month-old fetus is already stable. Could the bleeding between my legs be a symptom of an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, since you had a thorough check and confirmed it was a normal intrauterine pregnancy before, how could it now be an ectopic pregnancy! Moreover, ectopic pregnancy would never show symptoms of bleeding at three months; it usually occurs between 40-50 days with abdominal pain and bleeding. So you don’t need to worry too much, but abnormal bleeding still requires a careful examination to rule out the possibility of miscarriage. If it is indeed related, treatment to preserve the pregnancy should be considered.
