With the onset of the desired pregnancy, the expectant mother begins to observe her body. Of course, such symptoms as nausea, dizziness, lack of appetite, drowsiness will not alert the woman, but will only give confidence that in nine months she will see her baby. Allocations during pregnancy can be both a variant of the norm, and a pathological manifestation. We will try to figure out what the light or pale pink discharge means in pregnancy.
Pink discharge during pregnancy
Normally, pink discharge during pregnancy can appear during the implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus wall, and they are accompanied by minor pulling sensations in the lower abdomen. If these discharges are not abundant (daub) and last no more than 1-2 days, then one should not worry. If the pink discharge in the pregnant woman becomes abundant, does not end for 2 days, or generally changes color to red or brown, then you should immediately contact the doctor. In some women, light pink discharge during pregnancy is observed in those days when she should have menstruation.
The second cause of pink mucous discharge during pregnancy is a minor trauma to the mucosa of the genital tract after gynecological examination or ultrasound with a vaginal sensor. Women who are in an interesting position, the mucous of the genital tract are full-blooded and even with a careful examination, microdamages that clinically manifest themselves with pink secretions are possible. Therefore, in pregnancy it is not recommended to perform vaginal examinations without special need.
Allocations during pregnancy - what does it mean?
The most dangerous is the presence of bloody discharge at any period of pregnancy. The presence of bloody discharge in the early stages of pregnancy says either that a woman has a high probability of aborting, or she has already interrupted, and the fetus with shells go outside.
At late pregnancy, bleeding from the genitalia suggests a placental abruption . This symptom is the reason for immediate contact with a doctor, otherwise the mother and the fetus may die from bleeding. Pink-brown discharge during pregnancy can be observed with a frozen pregnancy, endometriosis of the uterus, as well as with developing ectopic (tubal) pregnancy.
Moody discharge of yellow-pink in pregnancy with an unpleasant odor can speak of the presence of inflammation of the genital organs. If you do not contact the doctor immediately for help, the color of the discharge may turn green. This kind of discharge can be accompanied by high fever, weakness, malaise, lumbar aches and loss of appetite. In this case, the woman will have to take antibacterial therapy, and maybe even pass the allocation for analysis, to identify the pathogen that causes such an inflammatory process.
White-pink discharge during pregnancy can be observed with thrush, which has a tendency to exacerbate during gestation of the baby.
Thus, a woman needs to monitor her secretions, especially if she is expecting a baby. Light pink discharge during pregnancy is often a variant of the norm and should not alarm the expectant mother if they are: not plentiful or prolonged. If the woman is concerned about the nature of her discharge, it's better to be safe and ask the doctor if it's okay.
