Monthly during pregnancy - a pathology or a norm?

When pregnancy comes, the woman is especially sensitive and anxious to listen to her body. Any malaise, an unusual sensation becomes an unnecessary cause for concern. This is not because a pregnant woman begins to turn into a neurasthenic. Simply, wearing under the heart of the baby, increases the sense of responsibility, anxiety for the condition of the fetus and exacerbation of the maternal instinct.

One of the causes for anxiety in women are the monthly ones during pregnancy. According to all the anatomical laws that are known to future mothers, a fertilized egg does not go out, but develops. At the same time, new eggs should not be produced.

There are several reasons why menstrual periods are possible during pregnancy :

1. When the ovum is fixed on the walls of the uterus, the body receives a signal that the pregnancy has come. In this case, a large amount of progesterone - a hormone - begins to be produced. The ovary is responsible for its production, from which the egg has emerged. When this hormone is produced little, menstruation occurs.
2. A possible cause, when there may be a monthly one during pregnancy, is the excessive production of male androgen hormones. As a rule, with the first and second versions, the gynecologist should prescribe the use of specialized medications.
3. Another factor that causes menstruation at a very early gestation period can be a significant inflow of blood to the cervix, which increases progesterone and estrogen. In this case, bleeding is short and uninvolved. If the discharge increases, immediately consult a doctor. Remember that about 20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. Therefore, do not delay, especially if the discharge is accompanied by sharp and paroxysmal pains in the lower abdomen. In this case, the possibility of termination of pregnancy is very high.
4. As a rule, menses in the early stages of pregnancy arise if the pregnancy is ectopic. In this case, the embryo is located not in the body of the uterus, but on the walls of one of the fallopian tubes. Ectopic pregnancy, according to statistics, develops in one woman out of sixty possible. We should not forget that it is dangerous for the mother's life if the doctor does not contact the doctor in time. The risk increases as the gestation period increases, when severe pain and spasms begin to appear. If the condition is unsatisfactory, it is better to call an ambulance.
5. Another possible option is the presence of genetic changes in the fetus. Typically, this is due to impaired fetal structure or the wrong composition of the chromosome set. The situation is resolved by the fact that the fetus is not accepted by the uterus and is rejected by it. The causes of such disorders may be hereditary factors or abnormal fetal development.
6. Another reason, when possible monthly during pregnancy, is rare. This is the maturation of two eggs. As you know, every month, when an ovum ripens in one of the ovaries, the second one rests. But sometimes there are failures of the "program": both ovaries are functioning.
7. When hemorrhages that are similar to those during the pregnancy appear later, this is often a sign of miscarriage or premature birth. It is possible that in the late term the infection enters the cervical region, and when the inflammation occurs, the cervix begins to heal.

Remember that the occurrence of menstruation or its similarity during pregnancy is not normal. However, do not panic immediately: seek advice from a specialist. Most of the causes of this condition are eliminated without causing the slightest harm to the child.
