Bleeding means different things throughout your pregnancy.
First 3 months of pregnancy : If you are bleeding and have severe abdominal pain or feel like you are going to faint during first trimester, it could be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy , which occurs when the fertilized egg implants somewhere other than the uterus, can be life-threatening.
Heavy bleeding with cramping could also be a sign of miscarriage in first or early second trimester.
Later in pregnancy: bleeding with abdominal pain in the third trimester may indicate placental abruption, which occurs when the placenta separates from the uterine lining.
It’s very common to have some nausea when you’re pregnant. Pills may help. If you are unable to keep in fluids, please see your doctor the same day or go to the emergency for rehydration. It will make you feel much better.
Contractions could be a sign of preterm labour. False labour contractions are called Braxton-Hicks contractions. They’re unpredictable, non-rhythmic, and do not increase in intensity. They will subside in an hour or with hydration. Labour contractions, however, are regular; about 10 minutes apart or less and increase in intensity.
If you are not sure if it is urine versus a true rupture of the membrane, go to the bathroom and empty your bladder. If the fluid continues, then you have broken your water. Go to the hospital.
These symptoms could be a sign of preeclampsia. That’s a serious condition that develops during pregnancy and is potentially fatal.
