Brown discharge in early pregnancy

When a woman finds out she is pregnant, she will feel particularly excited, especially some women who have been preparing for pregnancy for a long time. Although they will feel particularly happy at this time, there are many things they need to pay attention to. When a woman becomes pregnant, she must first adjust her eating habits, pay attention to getting more rest, and not overwork. If brown secretions are found in the early stages of pregnancy, you can go to the hospital for examination.

What is the cause of a small amount of brown discharge in early pregnancy?

Generally, a positive urine pregnancy test can be shown more than 2 weeks after sexual intercourse if a woman is pregnant, but the most accurate result requires a test result that is delayed for more than one week after the menstruation. The current 2-week test result is negative, and the chance of pregnancy is low. Currently, there is a small amount of brown secretion, which is considered to be a pre-menstrual phenomenon, but it is necessary to continue to observe for a few days before it can be finally determined whether it is menstruation.

What to do if you have a small amount of brown discharge during early pregnancy

1. You should stay in bed and rest more. Do not do strenuous activities. It is best not to get out of bed except to go to the toilet. Generally, this phenomenon will disappear in about 2 days.

2. In order to prevent vaginal bleeding during pregnancy from being caused by gynecological diseases, it is recommended to go to the hospital to find out the cause; when there is brown discharge after pregnancy, it is best to see a doctor immediately, because this may be a sign of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. In late pregnancy, such bleeding symptoms may also mean that there is a problem with the placenta.

3. Pregnancy preservation treatment must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. The development of the embryo must be understood in a timely manner. Once the embryo dies, the medication should be stopped immediately. Blindly pregnancy preservation may cause the dead fetus to "overstay" in the abdomen. In severe cases, it may cause massive bleeding and endanger life.

What should you pay attention to in early pregnancy

The most important thing to note in early pregnancy is to supplement folic acid, because expectant mothers' demand for folic acid throughout the pregnancy is 1.5 to 2 times that before pregnancy. Taking 0.4 mg of folic acid per day in early pregnancy can greatly reduce the incidence of fetal neural tube defects and prevent birth defects in newborns.

Severe pregnancy reactions can also affect the appetite of expectant mothers, and nutrition will naturally not keep up. Tangerine peel, which has the effects of promoting qi and strengthening the spleen, warming the stomach and stopping vomiting, and Chinese yam, which can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and replenish qi, can effectively relieve pregnancy reactions.

After pregnancy, women's blood volume increases, which can easily cause physiological anemia, resulting in a decrease in the blood's ability to transport nutrients to the baby, affecting the baby's growth and development. During pregnancy, you can supplement iron appropriately and increase the consumption of honey, jujube, wolfberry, yam, lotus seeds, tangerine peel, enoki mushrooms, etc., especially jujube, which contains ferrous ions. Ferrous ions are mainly used to synthesize red blood cells and maintain the normal concentration of blood. Combining Chinese and Western medicine can comprehensively replenish the blood.
