Natalia asks:

Hello. My period was 01/11/16, with a delay I did pregnancy tests and all positive. One fine day I started bleeding and smeared with brown secretions, I went to the uzist, I did not see the pregnancy, but said to be tested for hCG, I passed, the first result is 63.8, after three days 324, after a week I went again for an ultrasound scan and still cannot find a fertilized egg

Answers Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:

Hello, Natalia! I suspect an ectopic pregnancy. I advise you to continue to take the hCG analysis and undergo a control ultrasound scan. In a tubal pregnancy, the fallopian tube should be visualized on ultrasound. With the results of examinations, you must contact a gynecologist.

Natali asks:

Hello. I have this story: the first pregnancy froze at 4 weeks. Found a cytomegalavirus and a hematoma. Was treated, decreased the level of CMV. A year later, she became pregnant. Brown discharge appeared again at 4 weeks. Prescribed dyufaston, proginova. The pregnancy was preserved. Somewhere at 10-11 weeks, there were bacteria in the urine, Vilprofen was prescribed, which did not help, then kanefron and nitroxoline. Also, my lupus anticoagulant was above normal. I was given Fraxiparine injections in the stomach. During this period, there was a cold without fever. Herpes came out on the lip. The first screening ultrasound was normal, there was only uterine tone.

And on the second ultrasound, at the 20th week of pregnancy, Dandy Walker syndrome was diagnosed and an interruption was recommended. I have an abortion. My husband and I did karyotyping. We have no abnormalities in karyotiopes, my husband has 46XY, I have 46XX. Please tell me what could be the reason: antibiotics, influenza, herpes, CMV or genetics? I ask you to answer, give advice on what to do in the future, how to plan a new pregnancy in order to have a healthy baby. How to deal with CMV? Please give practical and useful tips... How often do such cases occur in your practice and is it possible to give birth to a healthy child, I need to know the truth, I have a chance or not. I hope for your help.

Answers Purpura Roksolana Yosipovna:

Let's go in order. CMV was detected by what method and what exactly was detected? Theoretically, Dandy-Walker syndrome can be caused by CMV. However, one cannot say that this is exactly the case.
I advise you to consult with a geneticist first. Then it is necessary to donate blood for lupus anticoagulant and if it is elevated, then lower it with aspirin and injections of low molecular weight heparin even before planning pregnancy. Fading pregnancy can be caused by an elevated lupus anticoagulant. Neither antibiotic nor herpes could have a negative effect.

Julia asks:

Hello, my husband and I are 27 years old. Gr. blood 2 pos., her husband 3 negative. There were no abortions and inflammatory ones, the pregnancy was the first. I was saved at 7 weeks with brown discharge, then there was a frozen pregnancy at a period of 9 weeks, vacuum aspiration was done. Histology: incomplete reverse development of the endometrium, chorionic villi with pronounced degenerative changes. They underwent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, contraction and physiotherapy in the same hospital. they said that the corpus luteum at 7 weeks was only 1.2 cm, and that because of this there was a lack of progesterone. after she was at the reception of a gynecologist, ultrasound of the uterus and appendages of transvaginal pathology was not revealed. There is ovulation, the cycle recovered after 2 months. I also have hypothyroidism, I have an endocrinologist, then I allowed to become pregnant - I take levothyroxine 35 mg, iodomarin 150, ultrasound of the thyroid gland is normal. And at the age of 15, she suffered mononucleosis, the liver was enlarged, and the doctors say, perhaps because of it, then a benign adenoma of the left lobe turned out on the liver, the operation in 2008 was a liver resection. Analyzes three months after the frozen ones: PCR DNA of cytomegalovirus (urogenital smear) was not detected, cytomegalovirus serum IgM 0.17 negative, cytomegalovirus blood serum IgG 9.36 positive (carrier), toxoplasmosis IgM 0.02 negative, Toxoplasmosis IgG Normoflora - Lact. 6.10

Before pregnancy, my husband and I were also tested for chlamydia, herpes 1,2, HIV, ureaplasma, mycoplasma - all negatives. I also have Rubella virus Ig G antibodies. (vaccinated long before pregnancy), ig M neg. Spermogram of the husband: everything is normal, except for agglutination + mild. Ultrasound of the kidneys, adrenal glands and urinary bladder + CDC- No pathology was revealed. Ultrasound of the prostate - Dimensions: 2.5 x 3.3 x 3.8 cm, volume 16.3 cm3, within normal limits. The contours are even, clear, the echo is common, the structure is heterogeneous (hyperechoic inclusions in the left lobe). CDC: the intensity of blood flow is normal. Focal changes: not found, the diagnosis is signs of prostatitis. Ultrasound testicular pathology was not revealed. Please tell me what other tests do we need to pass and what actions to take so that we can safely get pregnant and give birth again? can the transferred liver operation be the cause of miscarriage? they also prescribed APS and lupus anticoagulant by ELISA. besides this, is it still necessary to take a coagulogram, an analysis for Staphylococcus aureus, and what tests are still needed for the autoimmune status (and is it necessary at all for it?) Do you need antibodies to hCG, glycoprotein, fetal antigens, etc.? and homocysteine levels?

Answers Palyga Igor Evgenievich:

According to statistics, 10% of pregnancies end in fading at early dates, unfortunately, it is not always possible to establish the reason for this. If one pregnancy ended in fading, then this is not yet a reason to be examined in detail. You checked the infections, they are not, and thank goodness.
Check karyotypes and immune status yes this moment I do not see the need, this should be done if the situation repeats itself. It is necessary to be monitored by an endocrinologist, regularly take tests and take corrective therapy, because thyroid problems can affect carrying a pregnancy. If you become pregnant without any problems, then you do not need to take APS and lupus anticoagulant, but this is my personal opinion.
I advise you to plan your next pregnancy and, after its onset, donate blood for progesterone in order to know what dose of progesterone to prescribe in maintenance therapy.
Good luck and health!

Oksana asks:

Hello. After unprotected intercourse, I had to take postinor (September 4). After 6 days (10 Sept), brown discharge appeared, which lasted for a week. 28 days after the discharge (Oct 8), a daub (brown) appeared, lasted 3 days. My period never went away. I made an ultrasound. The dimensions of the uterus are 52 * 61 * 63; the structure of the myometrium is homogeneous; the line of the endometrium is uniform, the thickness of the m-echo is 29mm; right ovary - size 37 * 30, follicles -5-6, maximum length 15; left ovary 32 * 15, follicles 7-8, max. length 10. The fertilized egg is not visualized. The tests are negative. This is due to pregnancy or illness. What tests can be taken to get an answer.

Answers Korchinskaya Ivanna Ivanovna:

Postinor is an emergency contraceptive drug that can be taken 1-2 times in life (in case of rape or other emergency), it contains a high hormone that causes hormonal disruption. The conclusion of the bridle is normal, there is no pregnancy, and your periods may be irregular for some time until your hormone levels are restored.

WHAT CAN Acute pain in the lower abdomen and pale brown discharge at 10 weeks mean, is it a sign of an extrauterine pregnancy?

Answers Malanchuk Oleg Borisovich:

Hello. If you can still write to our consultation, then the occurrence of the symptoms you indicated is not a sign of an ectopic pregnancy. A rupture of a tube or ovary during an ectopic pregnancy is an emergency condition that is accompanied by a very serious condition and requires immediate surgery. But the appearance of these symptoms during a normal - uterine pregnancy, may be a sign of the threat of its termination. See a doctor immediately!

Julia asks:

Hello!
I have a midwife week of pregnancy. At a period of 5-6 weeks, I had uterine tone and brown discharge, they prescribed dyufaston, extreme vaginal, magnesium b6, papaverine and tranexam. After taking all these drugs for the first time, the brown discharge stopped the next day. Now the situation has repeated itself. At 9 weeks, she again began to smear brown and severe pain in the back and stitching in the groin. Yesterday I had an ultrasound scan, there is a heartbeat, but the tone is also present. They again prescribed papaverine, duphaston, tranexam and magnesium b6. I drink tranexam for the second day, and the discharge does not stop. Could it be that this time a kraynon was not appointed and therefore there are no improvements? Or can it somehow affect the discharge of a tablet from the thyroid (I drink l-thyroxine)? After how many days of taking tranexam, should the secretions decrease?
Thank you for your reply.

Answers Wild Nadezhda Ivanovna:

Dufaston did not need to be canceled .... If you started taking it, then it had to be taken up to 12-16 weeks, without abrupt withdrawal, under the control of the level of progesterone in the blood. In addition, if treatment is prescribed, this does not mean that everything will work and go away immediately and quickly. Pregnancy is not a disease - it is a physiological condition, but on an unprepared woman's body it can have complications. Bloody discharge in a short period can be manifested by dysfunction of the placenta in the long term of pregnancy. Therefore, you do not cancel anything yourself. when the bloody discharge will stop - I cannot say, because we are all different and each pregnancy proceeds in its own way.

Vera asks:

Good day! I have 2 pregnancies, 12 weeks. 1 childbirth was at 35 weeks. In the first pregnancy, they did not talk about a possible ICI, and after childbirth they did not carry out additional research. now, in the 2nd pregnancy, at 10 weeks after the PA, blood appeared, to which the doctor said that it was not scary for such a period, an ultrasound was done at 11 weeks, and they said that everything was in order, the cervix with an abdominal ultrasound was 33mm. Exactly one week later, at 12 weeks (there was no PA for a week) after stress, pink-brown discharge and heaviness in the lower abdomen began. Again they performed an ultrasound, this time transvaginal, where they said that everything was in order with the fetus, but the cervix was 26mm! Could there be such a dramatic change in 1 week? The doctor said to lie down more and prescribed Cyclogest 400mg vaginally in the morning and evening. Is this therapy enough? I live abroad, and there is no such thing as putting on hold. The doctor said that 26mm is not a critical limit. But I only have 12 weeks! Screening of 1 trimester is scheduled for the week. What should I ask my doctor for more information? Or what other drugs should be taken in such a situation besides progesterone?

Answers Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:

Hello Vera! Was the size of the cervix determined by the same specialist on the same apparatus? You should understand that examinations are still subjective and may differ slightly from doctor to doctor. The neck most likely could not shorten from 33 to 26 mm in 1 week for a period of 12 weeks! If you have lower abdominal pain and discharge, a progesterone drug is usually prescribed. The dose prescribed for you is quite adequate. Screening is planned to rule out genetic pathology. You do not need to take any more drugs.

Vaginal discharge is a common process that every woman faces. During gestation, mucus can change its consistency, so discharge at 12 weeks of gestation can indicate not only various changes in the woman's body, but also the development of diseases. By its nature, the discharge appears after the first menstruation and ends only after the entry into menopause or menopause.

A woman should especially carefully monitor her health when life develops in her. Therefore, many mothers may be scared by the appearance of more mucus at 12 weeks or a change in its color or smell. What changes are considered the norm, and which should cause excitement?

First you need to figure out what processes are now taking place in a woman's body and how the fetus changes.

At this time, the child already reaches 8-9 cm in length and weighs about 14-16 grams.

The abdomen at the 12th week of pregnancy is not noticeable in all women, however, the uterus is internally enlarged by 10 cm, which contributes to its movement from the hip region to the abdominal cavity. All systems of the body receive even more stress, especially the kidneys, heart and liver.

Note! During this period, many mothers begin to torment chronic diseases that require additional control.

The 12th week of pregnancy is marked by the further development of the fetus, its organs are already fully formed. Where the eyelashes and eyebrows should be located, the first fluff appears. Small nails appear on the fingers, and the child develops his own individual skin pattern - a fingerprint. With Doppler scanning, you can clearly hear the baby's clear heartbeat. Due to the formation of the inner ear, the baby is able to pick up various vibrations.

A child, at this age, is actively moving, tumbling and waving arms and legs. Due to the small size, the mother does not yet feel the baby's movement, but the sensations in the abdomen at the 12th week of pregnancy cannot be confused with anything. Such movements can be seen with ultrasound, which is mandatory at this time. After the examination, the doctor will make a conclusion about the development of all organs, assess the state of each system and look at the mother's condition.

During this period, many mothers stop suffering from toxicosis, weight begins to increase noticeably. Due to a sharp increase in the load on the body, a woman can suffer from headaches, which disappear after good rest and sleep.

From unpleasant sensations at 12 weeks, aching pain in the lower back may appear, as well as various discharge, which was previously less. For any discomfort, you should consult a doctor for detailed advice.

Allocations

Since a woman still cannot make out the sensations in the abdomen at 11 - 12 weeks of pregnancy, she relies on external signs that may indicate any changes.

Do not worry if discharge is found, because at the 12th week of pregnancy, in most cases, they are the norm. Their main function is to form a plug, which will become a reliable protection for the baby from various microbes and bacteria (cervical plug). The plug comes out not long before the birth or just before it.

Without additional symptoms, mucus should not cause discomfort to a woman.

Important! If other symptoms form, you should immediately contact your obstetrician-gynecologist to find out the cause of their occurrence.

Indicators of the norm

What should be the cervical mucus during pregnancy 12 weeks? Due to the active action of progesterone, which maintains the tone of the uterus in a normal state, there is an active secretion of mucus from the vagina. By appearance this mucus is similar to egg white, has a transparent color and a sticky consistency. During all weeks of pregnancy until the end of the first trimester, these mucus characteristics are considered normal. Also, a woman should not smell secretions.

When moving to week 13 or mid-week 12, a slight change is allowed. White discharge in abundance is the norm.

On a note! In order to avoid the development of infection, a woman needs to carefully monitor her hygiene, regularly change panty liners.

Pathological changes

However, not all women have beige (milky) discharge at week 12. Some may begin to be bothered by a rotten smell, blood. A woman's stomach pulls and her general health worsens. All these signals are very dangerous, because they can be followed by a miscarriage.

Thrush

The appearance of white discharge, which is similar in structure to cottage cheese and has a sour smell, indicates the development of thrush. They are also accompanied by severe itching. Almost every woman develops candidiasis while carrying a child. But most often, pregnancy goes without complications and obvious discomfort. Since this disease is not dangerous for the child, it does not require treatment during this period. Therapy is allowed only in the second half of the third trimester.

Sexual infections

Since many women continue to be sexually active, infection is acceptable. Yellow discharge at 12 weeks gestation indicates the development of an infection. At the same time, there is a smell of rotten fish, severe itching, and an increase in temperature. Such discharge during pregnancy indicates the presence of a serious danger that threatens the baby. After all, some infections affect the membranes, which contributes to early miscarriage. The smell of rotten eggs can also be present when an infection develops.

As a diagnosis, an analysis is submitted that will identify the pathogen. After that, an acceptable treatment is selected that will not affect the health of the child. That is why it is important to undergo an examination before conceiving a baby, it is best if mom and dad are tested for infections in 4-6 months.

Remember! Taking medications by the expectant mother in the early stages of pregnancy is undesirable! Some medications can negatively affect the development of the fetus. Treatment, in such cases, is tried to be postponed to a later date.

Inflammation

Dark discharge at 12 weeks gestation may indicate the presence of inflammation. Due to the fact that the inflammatory process affects the uterus, its involuntary contraction occurs, which can complicate the course of pregnancy. There is no single cure for the treatment of this ailment. Therapy is selected individually and strictly by the doctor.

Hormonal imbalance

Brown discharge at 12 weeks gestation is formed due to a lack of a hormone. After ovulation occurs in a woman's body, a corpus luteum forms in place of the bursting follicle. It is it that is responsible for the production of progesterone, which is necessary in order to maintain the normal course of pregnancy.

Egg ovulation process

With a low concentration of this hormone, the uterus contracts and the ovum exfoliates. Due to this process, a hematoma forms between the uterine wall and the embryo. With its large size, the chance that the pregnancy will remain is very small. During this period, bleeding appears, which is the main signal. With a timely visit to a doctor, a woman can maintain a pregnancy. The appearance of brown discharge indicates the opening of the hematoma. In some cases, it goes away on its own without harming the fetus. Bloody discharge at 12 weeks of gestation may not occur when the membranes are detached.

Attention! If there is a risk of termination of pregnancy, the woman is prescribed bed rest and complete rest. Progesterone-based drugs are prescribed to help maintain the desired pregnancy.

Damage

If a woman has a pink discharge at the 12th week of pregnancy, then most often this indicates tissue damage during the examination. During a routine examination during this period, the doctor can use a mirror, with the help of which the condition of the cervix is assessed and a smear is taken. Due to the increased sensitivity of all the membranes, it can lead to the formation of a small wound, from which a few drops of blood will come out. They are the ones that mix with the main secretions, give that color.

Erosion

Another reason why spotting can form during this period is erosion. With this disease, a woman does not hurt anything, she is not worried about any other symptoms. Strengthening of such mucus occurs after intercourse, and they look like a daub on dark red underwear.

Since the condition is not treated before pregnancy to avoid complications during childbirth, the appearance of such mucus is not considered a serious signal. Why isn't the treatment taking place? The fact is that after erosion therapy, a scar forms on the cervix, which can cause complications in the process of its disclosure. In some cases, this pathology goes away on its own after childbirth.

Other reasons

Some women suffer from urinary incontinence during pregnancy. Therefore, the appearance of yellowish marks on the underwear or pad may be just drops of urine. To eliminate this problem, you need to consult a urologist.

When the flora of the vagina is disturbed, a change in secretion also occurs. It can be diagnosed after passing a smear for the degree of purity. Such discharge is not dangerous for the baby, therefore, does not require treatment.

Please note that the appearance of brown discharge at an earlier date may indicate the development of an ectopic pregnancy. Together with this, the woman begins to torment strong pain lower abdomen, weakness, decreased pulse. Such a course of pregnancy is very dangerous for a woman's health and requires an immediate visit to a specialist.

Also, brown discharge can appear after active intercourse, during which microvessels rupture. All mucous membranes become very sensitive, and sudden movements of the partner can cause severe discomfort. Such injuries do not affect the child in any way, but still, men and women need to be more careful. Intimacy should be enjoyable, not uncomfortable.

Thus, pregnancy is a great time that requires more careful monitoring of your health. Indeed, at this moment, the state of a woman also affects the health of another person who develops within her.

The appearance of various pathological secretions can be a serious signal that there are problems in the body, so you should not ignore them. It is better to visit a doctor once again and get by with "little blood" than to drag out and go to the hospital "to save".

Discharge at 12 weeks gestation can tell a lot. For example, they can be used to determine how the pregnancy is proceeding, whether there are infections in the body of the expectant mother, whether everything is normal with the hormonal background. A pregnant woman should know which discharge at the end of the first trimester can be considered normal, and which are pathological. This will allow you to quickly respond to body signals and take action if something is wrong.

From the first days it is necessary to be under the supervision of the attending gynecologist

Twelve weeks is the time when hormonal background the expectant mother is in a phase of active restructuring. This period is characterized by increased production of progesterone. It is essential for the normal development of the baby. The "pregnancy hormone" is responsible for the preservation of the fetus. Without it, the uterus will begin to contract, the fetus will be rejected.

Under the influence of progesterone, the amount of mucus begins to increase. Only abundance distinguishes the normal discharge of the expectant mother and the woman not in position. By their nature, they resemble the "pre-pregnant" norm:

transparent;
mucous in structure;
are odorless.

A variant of the norm during this period is considered a slight change in the color of mucus. It can acquire a certain whiteness, become milky. Do not be intimidated to see abundant white discharge at the turn of the trimester. This phenomenon indicates that the body is protecting the fetus. By the end of 12 - at the beginning of 13 weeks, a mucous plug forms in the cervix, which protects the fetus from external infections. She is present throughout the gestation period. While the plug is forming, the secret may take on a white tint. No burning, itching, discomfort, pronounced smell? It is not worth worrying about the fact that the mucus has become whitish. Do you still have doubts? They can only be dispelled by a gynecologist.

Normal discharge can cause discomfort to the expectant mother with its abundance. You can smooth out the unpleasant sensations if you strengthen hygiene, use disposable pads. Gynecologists advise changing the sanitary napkins as often as possible during the period of gestation. This is to prevent the penetration of microbes.

White curdled secret

have a curdled consistency;
form lumps;
have bad smell("fish").

Sometimes with a fungal infection, the secret gives off yellowness. If the mucus is homogeneous, and not cheesy, but at the same time there is a characteristic "sour" smell - this is thrush. Usually, with such a disease, the discharge is abundant, they are accompanied by unpleasant sensations in the vagina - burning, itching.

Thrush is a common occurrence during pregnancy, and pregnancy even promotes the growth of fungi. This is due to hormonal changes. Progesterone changes vaginal acidity. The change is a signal for the fungi, for which such conditions are ideal. The immunity of a woman during the gestation of a baby is reduced: this is a natural phenomenon that ensures the preservation of pregnancy. However, the weakening of protective reactions provokes the multiplication of Candida fungi. They accumulate, and the inflammatory process begins, which is expressed by symptoms - characteristic lumpy mucus, itching, odor.

When carrying, many types of drugs are prohibited for use.

Thrush needs to be treated, so it is important that a woman "in an interesting position" responds in time to the altered nature of the discharge. Candidiasis can complicate the course of pregnancy: a fungal disease is often a "trigger" for erosion. With erosion, the likelihood of rupture during delivery increases, since the elasticity of the vagina decreases.

Treatment of thrush before the 16th week is complicated by the inability to use drugs. While the organs and systems of the crumb are being formed, drug therapy is undesirable. However, you should not hesitate to see a doctor: you need to see a gynecologist as soon as the expectant mother sees the "white curd" on the sanitary napkin. The doctor will give advice on nutritional adjustments that will change the acidity of the vagina. You will have to go to the gynecologist again with your problem at the 16th week: from this time you can carry out thrush therapy.

What does yellow mean?

If the vaginal secretion of a pregnant woman turns yellow, this may be a signal indicating an infection. The reproduction of microorganisms that have penetrated the genitals, the presence of an inflammatory process changes the color of the discharge. When the yellow secret is accompanied by unpleasant sensations, it has a specific smell, this indicates a bacterial sexually transmitted infection. A sharp increase in secretion, color change, itching may indicate gonorrhea.

Infections are especially dangerous during gestation. Infection of the membranes of the fetus can occur, which affects the development of the baby. Infections can trigger miscarriage.

The yellow color of the discharge is a reason to consult a gynecologist. It is within the competence of the doctor to independently determine why the secret has changed. The woman will need to have vaginal swabs. Based on the test results, the presence / absence of infection, the type of bacteria is determined. Sexual infections require compulsory treatment, because they pose a danger to the fetus. The doctor selects the course of therapy taking into account the period, the sensitivity to antibacterial drugs is taken into account.

Drug treatment is carried out only after the 18th week. But the sooner the infection is detected, the higher the chances of eliminating the risks. Therefore, having found yellow discharge at the 12th week, you need to immediately make an appointment with your gynecologist. He will compare the risks of therapy and the benefits of it, determine the optimal time for correction. It is strictly forbidden for expectant mothers to independently carry out any treatment. This also applies to taking medications, and referring to folk methods... One rash step can harm a baby who has just begun to develop in the womb.

Ideally, checking for infections should be done during the planning phase. Having got rid of the problem before conception, you need to follow the recommendations that will help exclude the inflammatory process and infection after pregnancy.

Sometimes women in position are mistaken for yellow discharge of urine drops that remain on the sanitary napkin. Urinary incontinence is common during gestation. It may appear towards the end of the 1st trimester. This is due to hormonal changes and the weakening of the pelvic muscles due to the growth of the fetus. If yellow traces are a one-time occurrence, then you should not worry. When they appear regularly, you need to seek the advice of a specialist. Especially if the period is short (10 - 12 weeks).

Greenish marks on linen

Any suspicious symptoms should not be ignored

The greenish tint of the discharge should alert a pregnant woman. This is most often a symptom of an infection. After conception, a physiological decrease in immunity occurs, the vaginal microflora changes, which increases the risk of infection. Especially in the 1st trimester, when the female body is just getting used to the new state.

Green discharge, which is a symptom of an infection, is usually accompanied by itching in the groin area. The secret takes on an unpleasant odor. Mucus of a greenish tint appears with genital infections, the causative agents of which are:

Trichomonas;
chlamydia;
gonorrhea;
streptococcus.

The presence of pathogenic bacteria is dangerous during the gestation period. They provoke inflammation of the cervix, damage the appendages, and trigger an inflammatory process in the vaginal mucosa. The risks of complications increase if the epithelium of the genital organ has been damaged during violent sex or inaccurate gynecological examination. Pathogens can trigger self-abortion. At the 12th week, they can cause infection of the fetus, lead to a delay in the intrauterine development of the baby.

If light green discharge remains on the underwear, this indicates the development of bacterial vaginosis. It often occurs during pregnancy, pregnancy provokes changes in the vaginal environment, so opportunistic bacteria begin to multiply actively. Vaginal dysbiosis in the early stages can occur if a woman was treated with antibiotics just before conception. Non-compliance with the rules of personal hygiene contributes to the multiplication of bacteria: this issue should be given more attention during gestation than before conception.

Only a gynecologist can determine the exact reason for the staining of the secret in green. Deviation from the norm cannot be ignored. The sooner an infection is detected, the higher the likelihood of getting rid of it without consequences for the patient and the fetus. Although at the 12th week, gynecologists rarely prescribe drug therapy, however, the doctor will give recommendations that stop the multiplication of pathogenic microorganisms and determine the time when it will be possible to start treatment with drugs.

Brown discharge is a dangerous symptom

Brown discharge at 12 weeks gestation is usually a dangerous symptom. They may indicate:

ectopic pregnancy;
freezing of the fetus;
damage to the cervix;
lack of progesterone, which increases the risk of miscarriage.

Most pathological conditions in the early stages are not accompanied by other symptoms, except for the staining of vaginal mucus in brown. Therefore, this phenomenon cannot be ignored: the sooner the pathology is detected, the more favorable the prognosis.

If you have brown mucus, you shouldn't postpone going to the doctor. It is important to remember that even if the pregnancy is terminated, early identification of the problem avoids complications and increases the chances of successful bearing in the future. Delays in the case of fetal freezing, attachment of the ovum outside the uterus can even turn into serious problems for the patient's health, lead to infertility and even death.

Therapy is prescribed by the doctor on an individual basis

Pathological pregnancy is not such a common occurrence. Therefore, brown shades most often acquire mucus from a lack of progesterone. This phenomenon is dangerous because the threat of miscarriage increases. However, with early detection, the lack of "pregnancy hormone" can be corrected with medication. What drugs are effective and safe - the doctor decides on an individual basis.

Sometimes light brown mucus may not be a hazard. In the 1st trimester, "daub" may appear on days when there were menstruation. Usually this phenomenon is observed in the first six weeks, but it can take until the end of the trimester. It is possible to distinguish brownish discharge of a non-pathological nature by its consistency: they represent an ichor. They are not abundant, but "smeared".

Brown impurities in mucus can come from careless sexual contact. This is a common occurrence in pregnancy, and it increases the sensitivity of the vagina. One careless movement - and small vessels are damaged, which is manifested by brown veins in a secret. At the same time, there is no threat to the fetus.

Even if a woman is sure that brown discharge appeared for reasons that do not pose a danger, it is worth playing it safe and undergoing an examination by a doctor. The expectant mother has no room for error, because she is responsible for two lives.

Causes of bleeding

Bloody discharge scares expectant mothers more than others. Most often, they indicate that something is wrong with the mother's body or pregnancy. Blood on the underwear is a reason to urgently consult a doctor, because the risks of losing a baby in this case are very high.

Why does spotting occur? The most common reasons include:

Ectopic pregnancy. If the ectopic attachment of a fertilized egg was not detected before the 12th week, then by the end of the first trimester, when the fetus is growing up, a tube rupture may occur. This dangerous phenomenon is accompanied by profuse bleeding, but before that spotting appears. If you do not react to them in time, the consequences can be serious, up to and including death.
Freezing of the fetus. The first 12 weeks of pregnancy are considered the most critical: the fetus may stop developing and die. The rejection of the fetus does not begin immediately, but the body recognizes fading by toxins and starts the process of miscarriage. The first sign of such a pathology is spotting spotting.
Self-abortion threat. Blood in the discharge can appear against the background of dangerous infections that threaten the baby. Scarlet marks on laundry may indicate that the body is identifying the fetus as a foreign object and is trying to reject it. With the threat of miscarriage, in addition to the discharge, unpleasant sensations appear in the lower abdomen - pulling spasms, pain.
Lack of progesterone. With a lack of "pregnancy hormone", the likelihood of rejection of the fetus increases. The first signal is blood-stained mucus. You can solve the issue with the help of drugs, but you need to respond quickly.
Erosion. In the presence of pathology, a bloody "daub" usually occurs. Blood impurities in the discharge become more noticeable after sexual intercourse.

The pink color of the discharge can acquire after a gynecological examination. At the 12th week, expectant mothers undergo a routine examination, during which the vaginal mucosa may be affected due to the careless actions of the doctor. This happens often, because the mucous membrane becomes very sensitive during gestation. Drops of blood from a small wound on the mucous membrane are mixed with secretions, staining them pink. This phenomenon does not pose a threat.

Pathological discharge and pain

The expectant mother should pay attention to daytime rest.

Uncharacteristic discharge may be accompanied by pain. Pulls in the lower abdomen? Are you having cramping pains? You need to see a doctor immediately. If the pain syndrome appears against the background of bloody discharge, it is necessary to call an ambulance. This may indicate a threat of miscarriage or self-abortion. The health of the mother herself, and often the life of the baby, depends on the speed of action. Medical help should always be sought when there is severe pain in the lower abdomen, even if the discharge remains normal.

Abnormal mucus and pain may occur with an ectopic pregnancy. A woman in position needs to undergo an examination to make sure that the embryo is fixed in the uterine cavity.

In infectious diseases, pain is rare. But specific discharge during the inflammatory process and the presence of pathogenic microorganisms almost always coexist with discomfort: burning, itchy groin area.

If there is no discharge

Discharge during gestation is a natural phenomenon. The mucus protects the body from infection. If there is no discharge, this is an alarming sign. This phenomenon is extremely rare, although the secret can be produced in small quantities.

If the discharge at the 12th week has significantly decreased in volume, this may signal a hormonal disorder. It is important to find out the reason for this change, because hormonal fluctuations outside the norm are dangerous during gestation. Lack or excess of one of the important hormones can affect the development of the fetus and lead to miscarriage.

What to do if the discharge is not normal

Any change in discharge is a reason to see a doctor. The secret is able to tell about the state of health of the mother, the development of the fetus, the nature of the course of pregnancy, but only a gynecologist can decipher these signals. It is important to take into account the color, consistency, smell, abundance of secretions.

If the cause cannot be determined during examination and after smears, the doctor prescribes additional types of research, including ultrasound. Based on the test results, the cause of the change in vaginal discharge is determined and treatment is prescribed.

If the patient has complained at the 12th week or earlier, then the doctor approaches the choice of therapeutic methods with extreme caution. There is not much time left until the second trimester, so if the problem allows, the gynecologist can choose a wait and see tactic. After the 14th week, there is more room for maneuver: many drugs are prohibited in the first trimester, but safe in the second.

It is strictly forbidden to solve the problem of pathological discharge on your own, regardless of what caused them. Even the treatment of thrush without medical supervision can lead to serious consequences. Uncontrolled use of drugs, recourse to traditional medicine is unacceptable. While carrying a baby, you need to discuss all actions with a doctor: this is the only way to avoid complications and safely inform the baby.

Prevention of pathological discharge

In order for the discharge to remain normal (which means that the whole body also remained normal), the expectant mother needs to follow a number of rules:

enhance hygiene;
do not use aromatic pads, products intimate hygiene dubious quality;
wear underwear made from natural "breathable" fabrics;
adhere to recommendations on nutrition and regimen (to maintain immunity);
use a condom when in doubt in a partner (to avoid infection).

The ideal option is considered a planned pregnancy, which the partners approach with full responsibility. When planning, you need to get tested to help identify infections and cure them before conception. A woman who wants to become a mother must first visit a gynecologist. If tumors and erosions are found, treatment should be given. So the likelihood that the nature of the discharge will change during pregnancy decreases. But it is impossible to completely exclude changes in the secret, because it is impossible to predict how the hormones will behave, how the pregnancy will proceed.

The task of the expectant mother is to closely monitor the signals that the body sends. Changing selections cannot be ignored. If you have any doubts, you need to make an appointment with a doctor. Before consulting a specialist, it is recommended to exclude physical activity and sexual contact. Do not worry ahead of time: altered discharge may well turn out to be a variant of the norm. But if there is blood and significant pain, then panic is justified: you need to call an ambulance.

Brown discharge during pregnancy

Brown discharge during pregnancy can appear due to a variety of reasons. Diagnostics should be done exclusively by a doctor. And the below possible reasons help you navigate the situation a little. Unfortunately, such discharge during pregnancy: the color is brown, bloody, always indicates some kind of pathology. By the way, the vaginal discharge is stained in this color due to the contained blood. Now more about the possible reasons.

Ectopic pregnancy

One of the most dangerous pathologies of an expectant mother. The problem is that in the early stages it is very problematic to determine where the ovum develops. But there are still ways to diagnose.

If a woman has pain or bloody discharge from the vagina, the doctor not only conducts a gynecological examination, but also directs her for an ultrasound scan and a blood test for hCG. If, according to a blood test, there is a pregnancy, and its period is 2-4 weeks or more, while there is no fetal egg in the uterus on ultrasound, this is an indication for diagnostic laparoscopy. With the help of this operation, performed, one might say, without an incision, the doctor will be able to find and remove the ovum, which for some reason began to develop outside the uterine cavity. If this is not done, rupture of the tissues of the organ (most often, the fallopian tube) and severe bleeding may occur. This is a deadly condition.

Frozen pregnancy

A very common pathology, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy. Although sometimes for this reason, brown discharge during pregnancy appears at 12 weeks and later. For several weeks a woman can consider herself pregnant, while the baby inside her is already dead.

The embryo dies for various reasons. Sometimes due to the toxic effects of alcoholic beverages or drugs, but more often due to severe malformations. Thus, nature weeds out non-viable human individuals, no matter how rude it may sound.

Diagnosis is by ultrasound and hCG blood tests. On ultrasound, the child has no heartbeat. And the level of hCG is too low for a given gestational age. Abroad, in the case of diagnosing a frozen pregnancy at a short time, doctors take such a woman under control and wait until the body itself gets rid of the failed pregnancy. In Russia, however, they are usually sent to "cleaning the uterus" in order to avoid the development of the infectious process.

The threat of termination of pregnancy

This is the first thing doctors think about when they notice brown discharge during pregnancy in the second trimester or in the first. A similar symptom can be observed with partial chorionic detachment. And the longer the gestation period, the more dangerous this detachment can be for a woman, since the placenta, like the baby, grows. This means that the area of its detachment can be large, respectively, and the bleeding is more massive. Discharge during pregnancy, brown in late stages is of particular concern to gynecologists.

If other causes of discharge in a woman are excluded, she is advised to give up sex life and bed rest. With abundant discharge, hospital treatment is mandatory.

For the prevention of miscarriage, drugs containing the hormone progesterone are used - it plays an essential role in maintaining pregnancy. However, these measures do not always make it possible to save the child. The worst prognosis is given if, in addition to discharge, women are diagnosed with cervical dilatation and cramping pains in the lower abdomen.

Retrochorial hematoma

This is a cavity with blood that forms between the chorion and the ovum as a result of its partial rejection. A small hematoma may not make itself felt in any way, but become an accidental finding during ultrasound examination.

Brown and bloody discharge may begin when the hematoma is emptied. And if everything ends well, then the discharge stops on its own. Unfortunately, it is impossible to "cure" the hematoma. Doctors, on the other hand, usually provide standard therapy to maintain the pregnancy. It is important not to allow physical exertion and tension of the uterus.

Placenta previa

Normally, the placenta is located on the front, back wall of the uterus or in its bottom. If placenta previa occurs, then it is formed in the lower segment of the uterus, while partially or completely overlapping the internal pharynx.

The so-called marginal placenta presentation, when only a small "piece" of the child's place falls on the internal pharynx, is the most favorable situation, since up to 28 weeks of pregnancy the placenta tends to migrate higher in the uterus, corresponding to its growth.

But while the presentation persists, a woman may periodically experience small placental abruptions, so the woman notices brown discharge.

The mode of delivery and its timing depend on where the placenta is located before childbirth. If it blocks the internal pharynx, natural childbirth can be dangerous or completely impossible, a cesarean section is performed.

Pathologies and injuries of the cervix

The cause of brown and bloody discharge in pregnant women may lie in the pathology of the cervix. Many women have it, but rarely have symptoms. Even when the oncological process begins. That is why it is so important to undergo an annual examination by a gynecologist and take a PAP test - a smear that helps to identify atypical cells on the cervix - precancer or cancer.

If the cervix is bleeding, the doctor sees it during examination using a gynecological speculum. The neck can bleed when it is injured, as a result of intercourse, for example. Or due to an existing disease. The doctor should take a smear, if indicated, conduct a colposcopy.

Often in women in such a situation, a cervical polyp is found. But this malignant formation or a benign doctor will be able to say for sure only from the results of a biopsy. In most cases, if there are no signs of cancer, a pregnant woman is advised to wait with further diagnosis and treatment until the baby is born. Since frequent examinations, taking smears, colposcopy and other necessary procedures can lead to spontaneous abortion.

A polyp is removed from the expectant mother if cancer is suspected, or if not only brown discharge sometimes appears, but there is bleeding, which can lead to anemia.

As for sexual activity with benign formations of the cervix, then it is not prohibited, if there are no other reasons for its restriction, and touching the polyp does not cause bleeding.

Discharge of the mucous plug

What are vaginal discharge before pregnancy and during pregnancy?

Discharge from the vagina of any woman, even those who have not yet had sexual intercourse, is a kind of indicator of the health of her genital area. If a woman is healthy, then the discharge is transparent or faded - yellow, odorless, liquid or mucous.

In the middle of the menstrual cycle, their number increases due to changes in hormonal levels during ovulation. With unprotected intercourse, the amount of discharge also increases dramatically. In this case, it is impossible to artificially "dry" the vagina, the body itself knows what to do. In addition, an increase in discharge is possible in the first days after conception and in the last days before the birth itself.

It is very common for many women to experience brown discharge during pregnancy.

The rate of brown discharge during pregnancy

Brown discharge during pregnancy is not always a cause for concern. Normally, within 12 days after fertilization, the egg enters the uterus, where it is attached to its wall, and the process of its implantation takes place. It is this period that is accompanied by a discharge of a light brown or pink color of a creamy consistency. Most women often mistake them for the onset of menstruation.

However, it is worth paying attention to the duration and color of the discharge. If they are long lasting (more than a couple of days) and dark brown with the smell of blood, you should contact your gynecologist.

Brown discharge can be observed during the first months of pregnancy on the days when a woman should start menstruating. These are light brown spotting. This process is due to hormonal changes in the woman's body, and most often such discharge is not accompanied by pain or discomfort, but your doctor - gynecologist, who accompanies pregnancy, should still be warned.

Dangerous brown discharge in early pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy

During pregnancy, the fertilized egg descends through the fallopian tube into the uterus and is attached to its wall. But in 2% of cases, the fertilized egg is attached not in the uterine cavity, but outside of it. In the vast majority of cases, this occurs in the tube, but it is very rare that an egg can develop in the abdominal cavity, ovary or cervix.

Most importantly, the signs of an ectopic pregnancy are the same as in a normal pregnancy: menstruation stops, toxicosis appears, and the mammary glands enlarge. A pregnancy test also shows the cherished two strips, and a blood test for hCG also shows the presence of pregnancy.

It is possible to determine that an ectopic pregnancy is only based on the data of the first ultrasound examination (ultrasound). From the fourth week of pregnancy, the doctor may not yet see the embryo, but he may be alerted by a number of points: the small size of the uterus, thickening of the tube and other indirect signs of an ectopic pregnancy, from the sixth week the doctor can already see the embryo itself.

However, if there are all the signs of pregnancy, and brown discharge appears, sharp pains and cramps appear in the lower abdomen, which grow, the likelihood of an ectopic pregnancy is high. With an ultrasound, the doctor can see where the egg is, and if the test shows pregnancy, the doctor will look not only the uterine cavity, but also those areas where an ectopic pregnancy can develop.

With an ectopic pregnancy, unfortunately, surgery is necessary, and the embryo with an ectopic pregnancy has no chance of survival. The sooner such a pregnancy is determined, the more likely it is that the fallopian tube will remain. If the embryo has reached a large size, the tube is removed.

Sometimes too large an embryo can rupture. Therefore, if you suspect an ectopic pregnancy, you must urgently consult a gynecologist, since self-diagnosis and self-medication in this case are simply impossible.

The risk group for the development of ectopic pregnancy includes women who have previously had surgery in the abdominal cavity, obstruction of the fallopian tubes, inflammation and infection of the internal genital organs, chronic endometriosis, and insufficient production of the hormone estrogen by the female body. If a woman knows that she is at risk, it is necessary to consult a gynecologist as soon as possible and do an ultrasound examination.

Threat of spontaneous abortion (miscarriage)

With the threat of spontaneous abortion (this is what doctors call a miscarriage), brown vaginal discharge is one of the signs. A miscarriage occurs before the twentieth week of pregnancy and occurs for a number of reasons:

The presence of diseases of the genitourinary system of an infectious or inflammatory nature (pyelonephritis, endometriosis, toxoplasmosis, etc.);
Termination of previous pregnancies (especially the first one);
Heavy physical labor of a pregnant woman;
Rhesus-conflict between mother and fetus (“negative” mother and “positive” fetus);
Genetic disorders.

In the uterine cavity, a fertilized egg that has already attached to its wall exfoliates, which causes bloody discharge. For brown discharge, a woman may experience pulling pains in the lower abdomen, dizziness and vomiting. In such cases, urgent hospitalization of the woman is necessary.

First of all, drug treatment will be aimed at maintaining pregnancy, and the woman is prescribed strict bed rest in a hospital setting. In critical cases, when the threat of a pregnancy failure cannot be avoided, curettage of the walls of the uterus is performed in the early stages.

In the later stages, a miscarriage actually occurs like childbirth, a woman is given injections of drugs that stimulate uterine contraction or surgery. In any case, if a pregnant woman has a dark brown discharge, spasmodic pain in the lower abdomen, an ambulance must be called and hospitalized.

Brown discharge in early and late pregnancy

The presence of a disease

It is not uncommon, both in the early and later stages of pregnancy, to observe brown discharge in the case of a disease of the internal genital organs of a woman. Such secretions can be accompanied by erosion of the cervix. Unfortunately, the idea that pregnancy relieves a woman from female diseases is far from the truth. An organism weakened by pregnancy, on the contrary, is more susceptible to the effects of various negative factors.

Erosion of the cervix is the appearance of one or more small wounds on the mucous surface. There are several reasons for this disease:

Due to sexually transmitted diseases.
Inflammation of the female genital organs, in particular the vagina.
In case of trauma (abortion, childbirth, sexual intercourse with the use of brute force, etc.).

Usually it is asymptomatic and does not have much effect on the course of pregnancy, as well as on the process of childbirth itself. One of its symptoms may be the very brown discharge. In this case, it is necessary to consult a gynecologist who will select a gentle treatment that does not harm the fetus. But it must be remembered that after the birth of a child, erosion treatment must be continued, since the presence of this disease increases the risk of developing cervical cancer.

Another disease in which there may be brown discharge is uterine fibroids. Despite the fact that fibroids are benign tumor, it can put pressure on growing pregnancies and cause miscarriage. Fibroids are not a contraindication for pregnancy, although it is much more difficult to get pregnant with fibroids.

A pregnant woman with a history of fibroids before pregnancy needs to register with the antenatal clinic as early as possible and follow all the prescriptions of doctors. In cases of a large tumor, a woman is sent to a hospital, where she is under the constant supervision of doctors.

Frozen pregnancy

This can happen from conception to the twenty-eighth week of pregnancy. The danger is that in the early stages, when a woman does not yet feel the baby's jolts, a frozen pregnancy may not be felt for a long time. A frozen fetus that has been in the uterus for a long time causes intoxication of the body and, as a result, a very dangerous DIC for a woman - syndrome (dessemenized intravascular coagulation).

Symptoms of a frozen pregnancy can be: frequent brown discharge with mucus, fever, vomiting, loss of consciousness. On ultrasound, the doctor ascertains a discrepancy between the size of the uterus and cardiac arrest in the fetus.

In this case, the woman is sent to a hospital and medication is used to induce uterine contraction (artificially induced labor). Unfortunately, the life of the future baby cannot be saved.

Bubble drift

This anomaly is quite rare. Its frequency is 1: 2000. With a complete disease, the embryo contains a double set of the father's chromosomes and does not contain the mother's chromosomes. If not complete, it contains a set of mother's chromosomes and a double set of father's chromosomes. Naturally, with this disease, pregnancy is not carried out.

For a woman, signs of cystic drift can be periodic brown or red discharge, nausea, vomiting, and bloating. A blood test for hCG is significantly higher than with a normal pregnancy. The doctor can also see a cystic drift on an ultrasound scan. In this case, curettage of the uterine cavity is performed in order to remove pathological tissue and for an average of six months the woman is under the supervision of doctors and takes a blood test for hCG.

It is the negative indicators of the hCG level that make it possible to draw conclusions about the absence of pathological tissue. Bubble drift does not affect subsequent pregnancy, provided that the examination is fully completed and monitored by a doctor.

Late brown discharge

Sexual contact, vaginal ultrasound

If the gynecologist who accompanies the pregnancy does not prohibit sex in the third trimester, then after intercourse, slight light brown or pink discharge can be observed. This suggests that the cervix may be injured. The cervix, preparing for future childbirth, becomes loose, susceptible to any influence. Sexual intercourse or a vaginal ultrasound prescribed by a doctor can provoke such a discharge.

Placenta previa

In a normal state, the placenta is located in the upper parts of the uterine cavity. When present, it is located below and may overlap the pharynx of the uterus. This position of the placenta causes significant harm to the health of the mother and fetus. Gas exchange is impaired, which causes hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in the fetus, misalignment of the fetus, causing complications of labor. For the mother, placenta previa is dangerous for anemia, a decrease in blood pressure.

Particularly complex forms of presentation can provoke premature labor and surgery to remove the uterus.

The symptoms of presentation are profuse brown discharge with a smell of blood or bleeding, accompanied by anemia and a decrease in pressure. Heavy one-time bleeding is possible. Presentation is diagnosed by examination and ultrasound. A woman with a similar diagnosis is sent to a hospital, where drug treatment and pregnancy control are performed. Based on the complexity of the disease, the doctor may decide to stimulate labor ahead of schedule or by caesarean section.

Discharge of the mucous plug

Two to three weeks before the due date of birth, a woman may observe vaginal discharge. Their color varies from pink to dark brown. These are not diseases or pathologies. This is the discharge of the mucous plug and suggests that labor will begin in the near future. In this case, do not panic, but call your doctor and provide this information. The doctor will tell you what to do next.

In any case, if a pregnant woman noticed vaginal discharge, yellow, pink, brown, and at the same time experiences discomfort, pulling pains in the lower abdomen, do not tempt fate. It is imperative to call an ambulance and wait for its arrival in a state of lying with legs raised high. It is necessary to comply with all the prescriptions of doctors and timely undergo the necessary examinations. You should not risk your health and the life of your unborn baby.

12 weeks pregnant

Signs, symptoms and sensations at 12 weeks gestation

The 12th week of pregnancy is the time when the expectant mother begins to feel much better, as the toxicosis passes. Life-supporting functions are taken over by the placenta and therefore vomiting and nausea will no longer bother you. But the truth is this applies only to a normal pregnancy, and if your pregnancy is multiple, then toxicosis will be delayed for some time. The same applies to irritability and nervousness, emotional outbursts and hormonal changes in the body.

At the beginning of pregnancy, due to toxicosis, you could lose a little weight, but from week 12, your weight will begin to increase by about 500 grams each subsequent week. All your systems and organs are working almost to the limit, this is due to the woman developing in the body new life... The main changes at this time will be an increase in blood volume, an increase in the work of the kidneys and lungs, as well as an increase in heart rate. Another good news is that now you will not run to the toilet so many times a day in a small way, as it was at the beginning of pregnancy. But another problem comes - this is constipation, they are a consequence of the enlarging uterus, which exerts quite strong pressure on the intestines.

It is at the 12th week of pregnancy that your belly begins to grow. The fundus of the uterus is somewhere in the region of 10-12 cm above the pubic joint. Only women who are pregnant with their second child will be able to feel slight movements in their tummy, the rest will have to wait some more time.

It hurts, pulls the stomach at 12 weeks of gestation

At the 12th week of pregnancy, the tummy of the expectant mother begins to gradually increase. If this is the first pregnancy for a woman, then the belly may begin to grow later, and at 12 weeks she will be able to wear any clothes she is used to. If pregnancy is not the first time for a woman, then the tummy could begin to grow even up to 12 weeks. When the abdomen begins to enlarge, as a rule, the woman feels itching, this is a special sign for you, which, as it were, hints to you that it is time to look for various remedies that will help avoid the appearance of stretch marks on the hips, abdomen and chest. By this time, you may have age spots and a dark streak that starts from the navel and goes down. Because of this, you should not worry, this is a completely normal phenomenon, especially over time it will pass by itself.

Uterus at 12 weeks gestation

At 12 weeks gestation, the uterus continues to grow in size. As a rule, by this time it grows to such a size that it becomes too cramped in the hip region. It reaches about 10 centimeters in width, so it begins to get out of the hip region into the abdominal cavity. A uterus of this size can already be felt and palpated quite well.

Ultrasound at 12 weeks of gestation

Basically, at the 12th week of pregnancy, the first ultrasound examination takes place, which helps to determine the exact size of the fetus, as well as to establish the approximate timing of delivery. On ultrasound, the expectant mother will be able to see her baby quite well, which at the 12th week of pregnancy is already completely similar to a tiny little man. Much more important results can also be seen on ultrasound.

These include the condition of the uterus and its tone, the place where the placenta is fixed, that is, is this pregnancy an ectopic one, and how many fruits the expectant mother is bearing. If you have any questions during the ultrasound study, then do not hesitate and ask the doctor everything that interests you, because it comes about your future baby.

With an ultrasound scan at the 12th week of pregnancy, a specialist is based on a comparison of your indicators with those indicated in the table of normal values. This helps to establish well enough whether the pregnancy is proceeding correctly, and to make sure that there are no abnormalities or pathologies. In the future, the results of the first ultrasound examination will be compared with those of subsequent ultrasound.

Twins at 12 weeks gestation

As a rule, if you have a multiple pregnancy, then by the twelfth week of pregnancy, you already know about it. Such a pregnancy can be diagnosed at a routine examination by a gynecologist, which occurs at 9-10 weeks of gestation. But if you find out that you have twins only now, it means that you delayed too much in order to register, or you were examined only at a very early date. At 12 weeks, spontaneous abortion becomes less likely, and your twins are no longer so vulnerable to everything. The second trimester will begin very soon, and your babies have already reached a size of about 6 centimeters each.

Most likely, you have already done an ultrasound scan and observed your babies. For many women, this is such a touching moment that when they see their future children on the monitor screen, they immediately start crying.

Screening at 12 weeks gestation

Quite useful and providing us with a large amount of information about how pregnancy is progressing is a study called screening. This is a kind of research complex, which includes ultrasound and a biochemical blood test. A blood test is needed in order to compare the readings of two markers:

1) free β-hCG (independent beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin.)

2) PAPP-A (plasma protein A secreted during pregnancy)

Initial screening is also called a dual test.

Screening is recommended during pregnancy 3 times, and the primary one should just be carried out at 12-13 weeks of gestation. One of the most important arguments why screening should be carried out at this particular time is the study of the collar zone of the fetus using ultrasound. This procedure will help us find out if there are any severe deviations or malformations of the baby that are not compatible with life. The collar zone is the area that is located on the neck between the soft tissues and the skin. In this area, a certain amount of liquid constantly accumulates. Its number depends on non-permanent markers. The baby grows and develops, so the norms of the collar zone also do not stand still, it is because of this that it must be examined at certain periods.

A study of hormone indicators (PAPP-A and free b-HCh), carried out during the twelfth week of pregnancy, gives us an idea of whether certain deviations are present in the development of the baby. For example, if the fetus has a free b-hCG indicator that is twice the norm, then this indicates that the baby has trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome), and if the indicator, on the contrary, is below normal, then the child may have a pathology that is called Edwards syndrome or trisomy 18.

But, despite the fact that screening at 12 weeks of gestation provides a lot of information, it is not the final analysis. The screening results can only become a pretext for further research, which involves the use of special methods. If the analyzes in the course of a complex of studies turned out to be doubtful, then the doctor will most likely send you for an additional examination to a genetics.

Tests at 12 weeks of gestation

Ultrasound and biochemical blood tests are not all tests that a doctor can prescribe for you at 12 weeks of your pregnancy. Basically, a woman takes all the tests that are provided according to the plan during registration. But there are also cases when a woman turns to a gynecologist late and therefore basic tests may well be carried out at the 12th week of pregnancy. Also, at this time, special additional tests may be prescribed.

By the 12th week of pregnancy, you need to take a blood test for syphilis, hepatitis B, AIDS, Rh factor and blood group, sugar, as well as a biochemical test. If the doctor has any doubts about the results of these tests, he will send you for hormone tests and tests for urogenital infections.

Fetal size at 12 weeks gestation

The fetus at the 12th week of pregnancy is already quite large, its coccygeal-parietal growth is about 6-9 centimeters, and its weight is about 14 grams. From now on, experts will be more interested in his height and length than in weight.

All organs and systems of the baby are already almost completely formed and are actively working. The fingers have already separated from each other, marigolds have formed, an individual imprint is formed on the fingertip, the upper layer of the skin is undergoing renewal, and a fluff is visible in the place of the eyelashes and eyebrows. On the upper lip vellus hairs are also present on the chin.

At the 12th week of pregnancy, the baby's face is already capable of showing various emotions, grimacing. The fruit calmly opens and closes its mouth, and also puts its fingers there. The baby is already actively working with his arms and legs, and also rolls over, tilts and moves freely in the mother's womb.

Fetal weight by week of pregnancy

The internal organs, although they are already actively engaged in their work, are still constantly changing and improving. The liver is quite capable of synthesizing bile, the intestines, which are already in place, sometimes contract, and the thyroid and pituitary glands are already producing iodine and hormones with might and main. The nervous system and kidneys are already functioning completely, the heart is still beating at the same incredibly high speed, and continues to develop bone and the muscles get tighter and tighter. The immune system also does not stand still, in addition to erythrocytes, leukocytes are also released in the fetal blood.

Low back pain at 12 weeks gestation

At the 12th week of pregnancy, the expectant mother should normally not experience any pain. An exception may be mild and slight pain in the lower abdomen; they may be associated with tension in the ligaments that support the uterus. At the 12th week of pregnancy, pain in the lower back can be observed, they can be explained by a change in the center of gravity, because the belly at this stage of pregnancy is growing very quickly.

But back pain can have other causes, such as a bladder infection, so in any case, if any pain occurs, do not delay and see your doctor as soon as possible. The same applies to pains that are felt in the lower abdomen, especially if these sensations are pulling or aching in nature, and also if they last for two hours without ceasing. The most important reason why you will need to see a specialist immediately is the bleeding that can accompany the pain. This phenomenon may indicate a threat of miscarriage. If you seek help from a doctor in a timely manner, then there is a fairly high probability of avoiding spontaneous abortion.

Discharge brown (bloody) at 12 weeks gestation

Bloody discharge may indicate not only the risk of miscarriage, if they are observed after intercourse or gynecological examination, then most likely this is due to erosion of the cervix. But in any case, neither one nor the other should be ignored, an appeal to a specialist remains mandatory.

At 12 weeks gestation, normal discharge is a moderate milky or light shade, with a slight sour smell and a uniform consistency. If the discharge is purulent, slimy, cheesy, yellowish or greenish in color, as well as with a strong unpleasant odor, then most likely you have some kind of infection. One of the most common infectious diseases is thrush, trichomoniasis, chlamydia. These infections are very dangerous for your unborn baby.

Colds at 12 weeks pregnant

The first trimester has come to an end and now most of the fetal defects and anomalies will not be scary to you. But still, you should be a little afraid of some diseases. These diseases include the common cold.

If at the 12th week of pregnancy you get a cold and do not try to cure it, then this can lead to certain deviations in the development of the baby, which in the future will cause a miscarriage.

The biggest problem during pregnancy is that medication won't work for you. Therefore, you will need to turn to folk remedies or herbal remedies. But the most important thing not to do is to self-medicate, first be sure to consult with your doctor.

If you get sick during pregnancy, then you should strictly observe bed rest. The drinks you will drink should be warm, but by no means cold or very hot. Such a drink for the duration of treatment for you can be: rosehip broth, herbal tea, berry fruit drinks from raspberries, lingonberries, currants. Honey will also be very useful, but only in small quantities, because honey can cause allergies. It is better to eat honey not in pure form, but to add it to milk or tea. Highly good remedy against cough is a cocktail that consists of 50% milk and 50% Borjomi mineral water. If this does not help, then you can try to cope with the cough with the help of Doctor MOM syrups and lozenges, Gedelix remedies or marshmallow mixtures.

If at the 12th week of pregnancy the cold does not go away within 3 days, and also intensifies, then you should consult a doctor again. You also need to immediately contact a specialist if your temperature reaches 38 degrees during a cold.

Temperature at 12 weeks gestation

12 weeks pregnant normal rate the temperature will be in the range of 37-37.5 degrees. This slight increase in temperature is the result of an increase in the level of progesterone in the body of a pregnant woman. But also the temperature can indicate the presence of various diseases. To identify these diseases, you will need to pass some tests. But, as a rule, a slight increase in temperature at 12 weeks of gestation does not bear any serious consequences.

But the high temperature for your unborn child is a very big threat. Due to the very high temperature, pregnancy fading can occur. You must remember that you are prohibited from using almost all antipyretic drugs, the only exception is paracetamol, but you still need to consult a doctor first.

Here also come to the rescue folk remedies medicine, such as a cool shower, wet lotions on the hands and ankles, rubbing with water and a little vinegar. But the very first thing you would be better off calling a doctor at home, and only then do something.

Sex at 12 weeks pregnant

If there are no abnormalities during pregnancy, and the woman feels good, then you should not give up sex. Moreover, this period is significant in that the woman passes toxicosis and the period of prosperity begins.

The main contraindication to sex was and remains the threat of spontaneous abortion. Also, the reason why it is better not to have sex at the 12th week of pregnancy is the low location of the placenta and multiple pregnancies. If such deviations do not exist, then sexual intercourse should not cause any concern.

The main thing to remember is that you are still in a position, so you should not engage in sex too actively, and also monitor your feelings after intercourse. If after sex you have small cramps, then do not be afraid, there is nothing wrong with that, they should go away quickly enough. If after intercourse you observe bloody discharge, then immediately consult a doctor.

Nutrition at 12 weeks of gestation

At 12 weeks gestation, your diet should be balanced and complete. Your baby is developing at a very high speed, and therefore, he now needs a large amount of useful and nutrients. Healthy food for you will be: fish, dairy products, meat, cereals, vegetables and fruits. But healthy nutrition depends not only on food, but also on the way it is prepared. Fruits and vegetables are best eaten raw, and the rest of the food is best eaten or cooked.

The most important meal is breakfast, it should be complete and include a portion of the first, and for dinner, you should do something lighter. It is best to eat in small portions throughout the day, avoiding overeating. Certain foods may make you uncomfortable during pregnancy. In this case, it would be better to replace them with others, for example, replace fish with meat, or vice versa. If you can't replace it with another product, you can simply change the cooking method, for example, if you don't like baked food, you can eat boiled one. Don't try to force yourself to eat something that gives you some disgust.

Vitamins at 12 weeks of gestation

The body of a pregnant woman should be saturated not only with nutrients, but also with vitamins. It will be better if you ensure your daily intake of vitamins while carrying your baby.

1) Vitamin A (carotene) - it is not recommended to take it separately, the daily intake is 500 IU.

2) Vitamin B1 (thiamine) - is responsible for the normalization of the nervous system and takes part in the exchange of estrogen, a daily dose of 10-20 mg.

3) Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) - takes part in the metabolic process and supports pregnancy.

4) Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) - is the main element that promotes protein metabolism, daily rate- 5mg.

5) Vitamin B12 (tsyancobalamin) - has a preventive effect on anemia and fetal malnutrition, the daily dose is 0.003 mg.

6) Vitamin PP (nicotinic acid) - takes part in the synthesis of sex hormones, a daily dose of 18-25 mg.

7) Vitamin C ( ascorbic acid) - supports immunity and metabolic processes, and also enhances the effect of estrogen, a daily dose of 100-200 mg.

8) Vitamin D - acts as the main element in the exchange of phosphorus and calcium, the daily dose is 1000 IU.

9) Vitamin E (tocopherol) - normalizes the functioning of the genitals and fetal development, also called the "fertility vitamin".

Termination of pregnancy at 12 weeks gestation

At 12 weeks of gestation, the risk of abnormalities and various problems is much lower than at earlier stages. However, you should still be wary of a cold and a very high temperature. Although the risk of premature spontaneous termination of pregnancy has become lower, it has not completely disappeared. Among the signs may be pain in the lower abdomen, spotting, and amniotic fluid outflow, while you will observe very strong watery discharge. Also, there are all those dangers associated with illness, poisoning, trauma or psychological stress and shock.

Weight gain at 12 weeks gestation

By the 12th week of pregnancy, you will gain about 2.5 kg in weight. If the pregnancy is multiple, then this indicator will proportionally increase. But these are rather relative numbers, since each woman recovers at a different rate during gestation. Above all, focus on the general recommended body parameters.

Gender of the child at 12 weeks of gestation

It is very difficult to determine the sex of the child at the 12th week of pregnancy, since there is a possibility of confusing the genitals on an ultrasound scan. Most often, the umbilical cord loop and fingers are confused with the penis. In turn, the girl can be confused due to the passing edema of the labia.

YOUR PREGNANCY CALENDAR

It is very important to track the nature and duration of spotting in early pregnancy. Although such secretion is considered normal in the first weeks of gestation, it can also be a signal of various diseases and problems with the fetus.

It should be noted that bleeding in early pregnancy occurs in 75% of cases and most often indicates natural processes in a woman's body that occur after conception. But situations are also possible, the outcome of which will largely depend on the timely visit to the doctor. Therefore, you need to find out which discharge in the first weeks of pregnancy is considered the norm, and which indicate problems.

The main causes of bleeding

Therefore, in the third week and earlier, such secretion without additional symptoms is considered the norm. But still, bloody streaks in the whites should not be ignored for any suspicions.

After visiting the gynecologist

On the Internet, there are quite popular questions about:

Anna, 30 years old: “Pregnancy 6 weeks bloody discharge did not bother before, but after yesterday's examination at the gynecologist I noticed a couple of red drops on the pad. What to do? Is this a miscarriage? "

Bloody discharge at 6 weeks of gestation can sometimes occur as a result of micro injuries. Naturally, in such a case, women begin to worry, since it is too late for implantation bleeding. During pregnancy at 6 weeks, spotting may appear due to damage to blood vessels and capillaries with a vaginal probe or gynecological speculum. They will not be systematic, so they will immediately disappear almost on the same day. If you observe such a secret for more than a couple of hours or their intensity increases, then the phenomenon is most likely not associated with a doctor's examination. In this case, you should immediately seek medical help.

After intercourse

Bloody discharge in the early stages of pregnancy after sex is not considered a pathology, but in this case it is better to refuse sexual intercourse and consult a doctor, because it is necessary to establish exactly the cause of their occurrence, as well as whether there is a threat to the fetus. But in most cases, such secretion is the result of careless intercourse, so it makes sense to reconsider the postures and adhere to a calmer rhythm. You will find a complete answer to the question: “What do they mean?” In one of our articles.

The Vanishing Twin

Doctors found that almost every eighth person had a twin in the womb, whose development stopped at some point. Note that this process is very typical for artificial insemination. Here is what women write on the forums about this:

Zinaida, 36 years old: “I went through the IVF procedure because I had already lost faith in becoming a mother. Everything was fine, but soon there was bloody discharge at 12 weeks of gestation. I went for an ultrasound scan - one of the twins was found to freeze. I hope that everything will be all right with the second child, and the appearance of such secretion will not harm the gestation. "

cramping pains occur in the lower abdomen;
convulsions may occur.

Only a doctor can confirm or deny such a condition using an ultrasound scan. As for the time of occurrence of secretion, spotting at 10 weeks of gestation, but not earlier, may indicate a "disappearing twin."

A similar phenomenon most often passes without consequences for the health of the woman and the unborn child.

Possible pathologies with spotting in the early stages

Unfortunately, spotting at the beginning of pregnancy can be dangerous not only for the fetus, but also for the mother. That is why doctors advise to go to the hospital for any doubts and ailments. The first trimester of pregnancy allows in most cases to correct the situation, but only with timely diagnosis.

Lack of progesterone

In some patients, doctors note a lack of progesterone, which casts doubt on the normal bearing of the fetus to term.

Victoria, 22 years old: “Pregnancy 5 weeks, spotting began to smear. I went to the hospital where the doctor prescribed Dufaston. After taking the drug, everything stopped, but it's still scary. "

Valentina, 31 years old: “At the 7th week of pregnancy, the daub began. Will I be able to save the baby with just progesterone injections? "

Bloody discharge at 5 - 12 weeks may well be caused by a lack of progesterone, but you cannot take drugs without permission, because the wrong dose may be useless or even aggravate the situation.

Scarlet watery

If the discharge at the 5th week of pregnancy began to bother, and there are traces of blood on the daily, then you should immediately consult a doctor who will prescribe such drugs as: Duphaston, Utrozhestan, and also select their optimal dosage. Additional treatment may be prescribed. In this case, it is better not to self-medicate, but if you do not pay attention to this problem, then the situation may end in spontaneous abortion. Before using the listed drugs, find out which ones may be in the article at the link.

Placental abruption

Larisa, 35 years old: “8 weeks of pregnancy and spotting appeared unexpectedly, and they are more scarlet. I did an ultrasound at the hospital. The diagnosis is minor placental abruption. Previously, the stomach ached, but now it has stopped. Of the drugs, only papaverine was injected. I am worried and do not know what will happen next. "

Bloody discharge at 8 weeks of gestation, especially those with a scarlet hue, may indicate placental abruption.

Scarlet

This negative process is caused by stress, trauma, allergies, high blood pressure, and bad habits.

As for the intensity of secretion, everything will depend on the area and place of exfoliation.

It is worth noting that the 7th week of pregnancy is an early period at which timely health care will be able to correct the situation and save the child.

Various injuries

Olga, 26 years old: “I was 7 weeks pregnant and I fell down. I didn't go to the hospital because there was no pain or bleeding. What a stupid I was, because then I had to lay on preservation for almost the entire period. "

Such a situation can occur at any time during the gestation of a baby, because during pregnancy, a minor injury or blow can cause damage to the blood vessels. In this case, it will not hurt to consult a doctor who will examine the fetus and give recommendations.

Placenta previa

Svetlana, 34 years old: “I’m only nine weeks old, but the gynecologist diagnosed me with placenta previa. Is the placenta already formed by this time? "

Many women think that placenta previa can occur only on late date... In fact, spotting at the 9th week of pregnancy, and at any time, can be caused precisely by placenta previa. The main difference is systematic bleeding, which can be painless at first. In the first trimester, bleeding is mild, but it is at this time that actions must be taken to exclude a threat to the life of both the mother and the child.

Spontaneous abortion

Rejection of the embryo can be caused by stress, infections, trauma, etc. Also, spontaneous abortion can occur if the body considers the embryo incapacitated, especially in the presence of genetic abnormalities.

Scarlet

Blood may appear in small amounts without additional sensations, and sometimes severe bleeding may open. If you consult a doctor at the first smearing secretion, then the likelihood of saving the fetus is very high. At a later stage in this process, almost nothing can be done.

Chorion peeling

It is from the chorion that the placenta is formed during the second trimester. The chorion provides a bond between the mother and her baby, so its detachment threatens the fetus. This process may be accompanied by a small amount of brown secretion.

"Bubble drift"

A very rare pathology, which is accompanied by the proliferation of placental tissue. A woman may not feel anything until the development of the fetus stops.
Soon there is an abundant secretion of red. In this case, it is impossible to save the fruit. It is believed that this abnormality is genetic in nature. As a rule, it appears from the 11th week of pregnancy.

Erosion of the cervix and polyps

The increased blood flow to the uterus can cause vascular damage. As a result, minor bleeding occurs, which may appear for no reason or after sex. If this process quickly and spontaneously stopped, then it may be erosion of the cervix, which is exacerbated precisely during gestation.

All about this pathology and about, read by clicking on the link.

Another reason may be polyps of the cervical canal and decidual polyps. These growths most often themselves disappear, but if removal is prescribed, then the doctor also prescribes concomitant treatment.

If you are planning a pregnancy or are already in a position, it does not hurt to familiarize yourself with all the causes of red secretion. It is very difficult for a woman to associate the discharge during early pregnancy with a certain violation herself, therefore, keeping calm, it is necessary to go to the hospital at the first ailments. Remember that self-medication is dangerous to your health.
