Patient's question:
At 17 weeks and 5 days pregnant, I was taking a nap at 3:30 in the morning when I suddenly felt something flowing from my lower body. When I went to the bathroom, I found a lot of bright red blood. I quickly went to the emergency room at midnight, had an ultrasound, and the baby was normal. The doctor said that most of the placenta was on the anterior wall, and there was a 10cm blood clot on the posterior wall, with the blood area being larger than the baby! They also discovered a strong light spot and strong echoes in the left ventricle of the baby, which had never been found in previous detailed examinations! After a series of detailed examinations showed no other problems, I was admitted to the hospital that night and immediately received progesterone injections. I was given intravenous fluids, including medication for the bleeding and a medication to prevent the baby from developing cerebral palsy. So far, the bleeding has improved, and the bright red color has faded to a lighter hue. The doctor said that after successful medication, the blood in the uterus can be absorbed on its own. If the subsequent examinations of the baby show no problems, the attempt to save the pregnancy will be successful. However, I am still very worried about my child. I suspect that I might have angered my husband during the day, which could have affected the baby. Will this interfere with the baby's growth and development? Will the blood in the uterus be absorbed on its own? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad I can help you. Don't worry too much or get too nervous. What you need to do right now is to adjust your mindset and cooperate with your doctor's treatment. Relax, relax, and relax again! If the cervical mucus is less than normal, this bleeding should not increase the risk. The blood in the uterus will also be absorbed gradually. Wishing you all the best! The above advice is for the question "What should I do if I suddenly feel bleeding from the lower body at 17 weeks and 5 days of pregnancy?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
