How long does it usually take to give birth after seeing red?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me how long it usually takes to give birth after experiencing vaginal bleeding?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, "Bloody show" is a reliable sign that labor is about to begin. Therefore, if a pregnant woman is at or past her due date and experiencing irregular contractions, she should promptly check her underwear for any bloody discharge. Generally, labor will start within 24 hours after bloody show, marking the beginning of the delivery phase. However, in reality, many people do not give birth until several days or even a week after bloody show. Individual differences are significant, so the key is to observe the shape, color, and amount of the discharge before making a judgment. In some cases, vaginal bleeding may also occur due to other reasons.
