Patient's question:
[All symptoms: My due date is still two days away, on August 15th, but today my abdomen doesn't hurt, yet there's a bloody discharge from my lower body, and I keep needing to use the restroom. What could be the reason? Onset time and cause: Treatment status: Desired help: I'm very urgent. I hope a doctor can advise me.]Doctor's answer:
Seeing red before labor is a normal phenomenon. If it's just faint red streaks and the amount is small, you can stay home and monitor the situation. Avoid overexertion and strenuous exercise. If bright red blood flows, exceeds the amount of your normal menstrual period, or is accompanied by abdominal pain, you should go to the hospital immediately. Generally, labor pains will begin within 24 hours after seeing red and the delivery stage will start. However, in reality, many people give birth several days or even a week after seeing red, as individual differences are significant. Therefore, the key is to observe the shape, color, and amount of the bleeding before making a judgment. During this time, have family members stay by your side.
