The article discusses discharge during early pregnancy. We tell you what they are: brown, yellow, white, pink, bloody, transparent. You will learn which of them are considered pathological and which are normal.

Throughout her life, discharge accompanies a woman, and the reasons for their appearance can be varied. If the discharge is transparent, odorless and does not cause itching, then you should not panic. But if the discharge appeared at the beginning of pregnancy?

Discharge during pregnancy is not always a sign of pathology

During the bearing of a child, a woman's body undergoes a number of physiological changes associated with changes in hormonal levels and an increase in progesterone levels. Depending on the color of the discharge, the main causes of the appearance are distinguished:

• transparent - considered a normal secret;
• slightly brownish tint - in a small amount, such spotting usually occurs on the days of the planned menstruation in the first month after conception. The reason for going to the doctor is the presence of aching pain in the lower back and lower abdomen;
• profuse secretion Brown most often means a risk of miscarriage, in some cases accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen;
• bleeding, reminiscent of menstruation - are considered the most dangerous, as they indicate placental abruption or.

Discharge rate

Many expectant mothers are concerned about the question of what should be the discharge when carrying a child. Firstly, it is necessary to pay attention to the smell, color and consistency of vaginal secretion - this will allow timely detection of the presence of pathological processes in the body. Secondly, you need to see a doctor when the secreted mucus:

• Brown color;
• white curdled;
• yellow or (purulent secret).

Types of secretions

Specialists refer to pathological secretions as pathogenic secretion, which is caused by fungi or bacteria that can harm the fetus. Such pathogenic microorganisms include the Candida fungus, which provokes the development of candidiasis.

Treatment of this pathology is carried out only under the supervision of a specialist, since most of the medicines for pathology are prohibited during the bearing of a child. You can determine the presence of thrush by itching, burning in the perineum, thick curdled discharge with an unpleasant odor.

We will discuss other pathological discharges during pregnancy below.

Transparent

If they are moderate, odorless and impurities, they are classified as normal. In some cases, their volume may increase in the numbers of the expected menstruation, while the secretion should not cause you any discomfort.

Brown

If at the beginning of pregnancy there is a short-term and one-time weak secret of a light brown color, accompanied by slight pains in the lower abdomen, you should not panic. This condition may be due to the attachment of the fetal egg to the uterus.

With dark brown secretion, you need to see a doctor, as it may indicate detachment of the chorion or the future placenta.

An infrequent or single formation in the 1st trimester may be a symptom of an ectopic, frozen or non-developing pregnancy, in which the embryo dies and the fetal egg remains in the uterine cavity. Gradually, the placenta exfoliates from the uterine walls, which leads to the appearance of a dark secret. In such a situation, you should immediately contact a specialist!

yellow

Often, discharge of this color is a sign of changes in the body of the expectant mother, but on condition that they are not accompanied by itching, burning, and an unpleasant odor.

If the secretion is dark yellow color, closer to brown, then this is a reason to see a doctor, as we can talk about spontaneous miscarriage.

There may also be signs:

• candidiasis;
• bacterial vaginosis;
• vaginitis;
• chlamydia;
• trichomoniasis;
• gonorrhea.

White

moderate discharge white color are not pathological. At the same time, if they are accompanied by an unpleasant odor, they resemble cottage cheese in consistency, while there is reddening of the genital organs and itching in the perineum, this condition may indicate the presence of candidiasis. This disease requires treatment, otherwise the risk of rupture of the genital tract during childbirth increases.

Cream

Light or creamy discharge during pregnancy in the 1st trimester usually means inflammatory ailments. In the process of exacerbation of the disease, a woman may experience discomfort in the vulva, which is accompanied by the formation of a milk secret. The reasons are:

• gonorrhea;
• coli;
• gardenellosis;
• proteas;
• trichomoniasis;
• staphylococci.

Another reason for beige secretion is the lack of the hormone progesterone in the body of the expectant mother. It is necessary for carrying a pregnancy, is responsible for the tone and growth of the uterus, and also reduces the activity of the immune system at the beginning of pregnancy, which is especially important for the body to accept a fertilized egg. If a blood admixture is added to the beige discharge, you should immediately seek help from a specialist.

Pink

Secretion of a pink hue may occur due to:

• microcracks arising from careless examination on the gynecological chair:
• vaginal ultrasound;
• active intimacy;
• douching.

Often occur on the days of the expected menstruation. They may also indicate the attachment of the fetal egg to the wall of the uterus.

Sometimes pinkish mucus can be a symptom of thrush. If a brown admixture is present in it, then such a condition may be an indicator of placental abruption, frozen and ectopic pregnancy, especially if such a condition is accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen.

Bloody

They are . They are the most dangerous during pregnancy. May be abundant or sparse brown. If there is severe bleeding with acute pain in the abdomen, you should immediately go to the hospital. Such secretion means both the termination of pregnancy and its ectopic course. Slight brown or light brown discharge in the early stages of bearing a child is not considered dangerous to the fetus.

The main factors in the development of this condition:

• cystic skid;
• peritoneal trauma;
• pathologies related to blood clotting;
• cervical erosion;
• myoma nodes;
• damage due to douching;
• examination on a gynecological chair;
• polyp of the cervical canal.

gray

At the beginning of pregnancy, they have a characteristic odor and are accompanied by a burning sensation in the intimate area. These symptoms indicate the presence of genital infections, such as vaginitis or trichomoniasis.

Trichomoniasis is dangerous for expectant mothers and requires inpatient treatment. With bacterial vaginitis, there are problems with bearing a child. Therefore, if you notice a gray secretion, immediately visit a gynecologist.

What to do

If you notice pathological discharges in yourself, do not wait for them to disappear on their own. Any deviation in the work of the body can cause problems during pregnancy or even cause it to be interrupted.

Carrying out a vaginal ultrasound, examination on a gynecological chair, taking a smear for infections - these are the main actions that will help identify the cause of pathological secretion. When the disease is confirmed, the doctor prescribes adequate and safe treatment that will not harm either the child or the pregnant woman.

Bloody discharge in a pregnant woman is treated with certain drugs, a special diet, and bed rest. Therapy of cervical erosion is carried out only after childbirth, using electrocoagulation. But with the development of complications, wound healing and anti-inflammatory drugs can be prescribed.

If there is a threat of miscarriage, then hormone therapy is prescribed. Frozen pregnancy ends with surgical or spontaneous abortion.

Therapy of foamy secretions is carried out with a careful selection of medications, since most of them are prohibited during pregnancy. To eliminate candidiasis, warm sitz baths with herbal decoctions or medicines are used, which are allowed during childbearing.

Self-treatment and selection of medications are prohibited, as this can lead to complications and abortion.

Allocations accompany the life of a woman regularly. It does not always mean that this is a deviation or disease of the organs of the reproductive system. The situation is different if discharge occurs during early pregnancy. Such secretions can be of different colors: transparent, white, brown, dark red. Which of these secretions are a cause for alarm, and which are the physiological norm?

During pregnancy, the female body undergoes a restructuring under the influence of physiological processes and the hormone progesterone. The appearance of secretions of light shades at the beginning of pregnancy is considered the norm. In some embodiments, the discharge may be bloody, especially in the first weeks of pregnancy. This can happen on days when menstruation came before pregnancy. A normal secret when carrying a fetus may be completely absent.

The main reason for the occurrence of discharge in the first trimester is hormonal changes in the female body:

• Transparent discharges are considered the safest.
• Slightly brownish discharge in a small amount (daub) may be on the expected days of menstruation in the first month of pregnancy. If you experience aching pain in the lower back and lower abdomen, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
• If a woman notices brown discharge in herself, then this may indicate a threat of termination of pregnancy. In some situations, it is accompanied by aching or severe pain in the lower abdomen.
• Bloody discharge, similar to that of menstruation, is considered dangerous: an ectopic pregnancy or placental abruption can be considered its causes.

The impact of progesterone

Opaque creamy discharge in the second week is considered the result of the active production of progesterone - the key pregnancy hormone. Directly under its influence, a change in vaginal discharge occurs. An increased concentration of progesterone creates positive conditions for a good fixation of the embryo in the uterine endometrium. Attachment occurs approximately 8-10 days after conception. For this reason, white and thick discharge in women can be an indicator of pregnancy.

The vaginal secret in the first weeks of waiting for a child is able to come out with a small amount of bloody streaks, and may also have a pinkish or brownish color. They arise directly at the moment when the embryo is attached to the endometrium of the uterus. In this case, damage to the upper blood vessels can often occur, which provokes a small release of blood. The volume of secretions is very small, and the manifestation itself is short-lived. Such discharge in the first days of pregnancy is completely safe. If in doubt, it would be better to consult a doctor.

Mucus plug formation

Excessive discharge in the first weeks of pregnancy, similar to raw egg white, is not uncommon. Their reason is quite simple. At about the 3rd week of pregnancy, the development and formation of a mucous plug occurs, which reliably protects the internal cavity of the uterus throughout pregnancy, and, consequently, the child itself from the penetration of various pathogenic substances, infectious agents. For this reason, in pregnant women at this time, the volume of secreted transparent mucus increases. Such discharge in the first 4 weeks of pregnancy is completely natural.

Hormonal fluctuations

During the period of bearing a child, significant transformations are made in the body of a woman. Initially, there is a change in the female hormonal background. In certain situations, such a hormonal restructuring occurs with a certain delay, since each organism is individual. There may be options when a woman during pregnancy during the period of potential menstruation has discharge with blood impurities on her underwear. If such secretion is not accompanied by painful spasms and deterioration in health, they pass on their own and again change to ordinary leucorrhoea, then there is no reason for worries. As a rule, during pregnancy there is an increase in the amount of whiteness from the usual state and this is the norm.

Allergic reaction

During the period of bearing a child, the susceptibility of pregnant women increases significantly. That is why allergies in the form of irritation and itching can cause even the usual means that did not previously cause a negative response from the body. Intimate hygiene gel, powder, synthetic materials - all this can cause profuse liquid leucorrhoea, which is accompanied by itching and irritation. Such discharge at the 11th week of pregnancy can be provoked, most likely, directly by this cause. Initially, it is necessary to try to eliminate the influence of the allergen. Sometimes this is enough to stop such discharges.

Transparent shade, small volume, lack of aroma is the normal state of secretion of the genital organs during pregnancy. Mucus secretions create a mucus plug, which means that the fertilized egg has successfully established itself in the uterus. The process is slow, so white, abundant or clear discharge will accompany the expectant mother throughout the entire pregnancy.

Abnormal discharge in early pregnancy with a photo

Knowing which discharge in the early stages of pregnancy is considered a deviation from the normal will help a pregnant woman, if necessary, to orient herself in time and consult a doctor, which will help save the pregnancy and her life.

What should alert a woman in a position when discharge occurs:

• The presence of pain and deterioration of well-being;
• Prolonged discharge;
• The consistency of the secret;
• Quantity;
• The shade of highlights.

To determine what shade of discharge occurred at the 10th week of pregnancy (or any other week), you need to use daily pads.

Red spotting

Such selections are dangerous sign violations. Often, the causes of such discharges are considered dangerous conditions such as:

1. Threat of interruption. Bloody discharge of a scarlet color, pulling pain in the lower abdomen, pain in the lower back or sacrum. A positive outcome in such a situation mainly depends on the timely appeal to medical institution. It is better to call emergency services and wait for her in the supine position.
2. Erosion, polyps, cervical cancer. Bleeding is possible after sexual contact, examination by a specialist.
3. bubble skid- violation of the formation of the fetal egg. The danger of this condition is profuse bleeding and the likelihood of cancer formation.

The real cause of such secretions can only be determined by a specialist with the help of ultrasound, gynecological examination, blood test for the compliance of the hCG hormone with the obstetric gestational age.

Smearing brown discharge

Such discharges can be signs of dangerous violations:

yellow discharge

The prerequisites for the appearance of yellowish discharge from the vagina are:

1. Inflammation of the genitals. It can cause miscarriage or infection of the fetus. To stop this process, proper treatment is prescribed.
2. Sexual infections (often chlamydia, ureaplasma). These infections can cause miscarriage. For this reason, it is important to determine effective and timely therapy. However, it is forbidden to engage in self-medication, since the means of treatment must be selected by the doctor, taking into account the onset of pregnancy. Such secretions always have an unpleasant odor.

Green discharge

Trichomonas is considered the cause of greenish, often even frothy discharge in early pregnancy. The disease that they provoke is called trichomoniasis. In addition to discharge, the signs of this condition include itching, burning, pain in the genitals. Trichomoniasis is quite dangerous during pregnancy, as it can provoke a miscarriage. And only a specialist can determine further therapy, since with self-therapy there is a high probability of using funds that are toxic to the child.

White discharge

Often at the beginning of pregnancy, many may encounter candidiasis. Her expressions: profuse curdled discharge, sour aroma, itching, irritation. Often the cause of thrush is considered physiological immunodeficiency. There is no need to self-medicate, since it is forbidden to use the main remedies for candidiasis during pregnancy because of their negative impact to the fruit.

If any of the above pathological types of discharge occurs, you should immediately contact a specialist. If the creamy discharge is irregular, take a picture of the pad before contacting the gynecologist so that the doctor understands exactly what it is about.

Vaginal secretion yellow

There are two options for the appearance of rich yellow discharge during pregnancy in the early stages:

• Inflammatory process in the genitals;
• Reproduction of infection (ureaplasmosis, chlamydia, gardenelosis).

In parallel with this, a woman may experience pain in the abdomen and in the sacrum. Itching and irritation may also be present in some variants. Such secretions in the first trimester of pregnancy can be dangerous, because they can cause spontaneous abortion, slow down the development of the child and infection in utero, and subsequently lead to premature birth.

In addition to a change in the color of the discharge, a woman may notice an increase in temperature and pain in her lower abdomen. Such changes are caused by diseases that are sexually transmitted. However, this does not mean at all that the pregnant woman was infected during the period of bearing the child. Most likely, the infection was picked up earlier, but since the immune forces are weakened, it intensified and made itself felt. It also poses a threat to pregnancy, so you need to see a doctor.

Brown discharge early

• Frozen pregnancy

In certain situations, brown discharge may indicate a missed pregnancy. If a woman initially had all the signs of a pregnant condition, and then they all stopped abruptly, plus brown discharge appeared on the linen, then it is likely that the fetus died inside the womb. Gradual exfoliation from the uterine walls of the fetus causes the appearance of brown discharge. In order to dispel your feelings and doubts, it is worth undergoing an examination. The most reliable will be an ultrasound examination, which will show that the embryo does not have a heartbeat.

• Cervical erosion

Indeed, erosion can cause brown discharge, which is explained by mechanical damage to the surface that is affected by the disease. Such discharge can be traced, for example, after examination on a gynecological chair. Erosion therapy is not considered during pregnancy, it will have to be postponed until delivery. Detailed details about the treatment of erosion after childbirth should be discussed with the doctor.

Dark discharge during pregnancy

Allocations at the 6th week of pregnancy (as well as any other week of bearing a child), accompanied by a dark shade and supplemented by acute pain and general weakness, do not belong to normal and natural phenomena. Similar symptoms are characteristic of an ectopic pregnancy, when the embryo is attached not in the uterine cavity, but, for example, in the tube, abdominal cavity or ovary. Such a violation can be quite dangerous for the well-being and life of a woman, since as the embryo grows, the possibility of rupture of the organ and the appearance of heavy bleeding increases.

Green color

The appearance of green discharge (pus) can be a symptom of diseases such as gonorrhea or trichomoniasis. These sexual diseases can provoke spontaneous abortion. Signs of this condition:

• Burning;
• Swelling of the labia;
• Spots of pus;
• Bad smell.

If such signs appear during pregnancy, it is necessary to consult a specialist as soon as possible and carry out an appropriate examination and therapy.

White flakes in vaginal secretion

Such discharge at the 11th week of pregnancy appears with the same frequency as, for example, at the fifth week of pregnancy or at the thirtieth. Thrush can appear at any week of pregnancy. This stage is characterized by a certain decrease in the body's defenses, which is why quite often such an unpleasant disease as thrush is formed.

At first, the discharge looks like white flakes or cottage cheese grains, which are easily separated from each other. As the disease progresses, the flakes turn into gray films, which, when separated from the mucosa, leave insignificant wounds. Discomfort increases significantly in this case. The disease is accompanied by irritation, itching, swelling, hyperemia of the external genital organs, and a characteristic sour aroma appears.

Such white discharge during early pregnancy does not pose a danger to the fetus, but brings discomfort to the expectant mother. For this reason, it is important to carry out antifungal therapy, which the doctor must prescribe. Often, topical agents are used during pregnancy.

White flakes in the vaginal secret from Utrozhestan suppositories

Utrozhestan is a synthetic analogue of the pregnancy hormone - progesterone. This hormone is a progestogen, which is formed in the corpus luteum after ovulation and is responsible for the development of the secretory endometrium.

The appearance of white discharge from Utrozhestan candles must be divided. Thus, when using the drug intravaginally, white discharge may simply be the contents of the capsule. If the woman correctly introduced the drug, and he managed to dissolve (after the introduction of the capsule, you need to be in a horizontal position for about an hour), then there is nothing to worry about.

No need to try to wash the remnants of the drug from the vagina, while it is forbidden to douche to clean the remnants. Excessive hygiene in this case can be harmful - wash the active ingredient of the drug and prevent it from showing the proper effect. It can also provoke the formation of vaginal dysbacteriosis.

If Utrozhestan is taken orally, then the occurrence of leucorrhoea may indicate the formation of a fungal infection. You need to carefully monitor your own well-being and if itching, burning, redness of the labia occurs, you need to contact a specialist to exclude or treat an infectious disease.

When using Utrozhestan, white discharge can indicate that the woman is not sufficiently in the supine position to absorb the drug. Recall that you need to lie down preferably for about an hour.

Treatment of discharge during early pregnancy

Given certain conditions that caused the occurrence of specific secretions in the early stages, various therapeutic measures are applied. Below we present them in a small scheme:

Diagnosis	Measures used
Placental abruption	Hospitalization in a medical institution, the implementation of preserving and hormonal treatment.
Threat of spontaneous abortion	Hospitalization in an educational institution, the implementation of conservation and hormonal treatment (the use of hormonal drugs, adhering to a half-bed regimen). Taking hemostatic drugs (if necessary).
Cervical erosion	The implementation of drug therapy, the exclusion of the cauterization procedure.
Frozen pregnancy	Hospitalization in a medical institution, use of medical abortion, mini-abortion, vacuum, artificial delivery or curettage.
Ectopic pregnancy	Hospitalization, surgical treatment.

In addition to a quick visit to the doctor, a woman who has tracked uncharacteristic discharge in herself is recommended to maintain complete control.

Allocations happen in women all the time. It does not always mean that this is a deviation or disease of the reproductive organs. Another thing is if the secret is released during pregnancy. Discharge during pregnancy in the early stages are of different colors: white, transparent, brown, dark red - which of them mean the onset of the disease, are the result of normal physiological processes, find out further.

Can there be discharge during pregnancy

During the bearing of a child, a woman's body is rebuilt under the influence of physiological processes and the female hormone progesterone. The appearance of a light-colored secret at the beginning of pregnancy is the norm. Sometimes the secret is bloody, especially in the early stages of gestation. This is possible in those days when menstruation came before pregnancy. Normal vaginal discharge during childbearing may be completely absent.

What is discharge during pregnancy

Transparent discharge when carrying a child is a logical consequence of hormonal changes. If you observe a mucous secret that looks like raw chicken protein, this is the norm. It protects the genitals of women and helps the sperm to move faster to the egg. At the time of fertilization, the discharge is thick, opaque, viscous. After conception, a meager mucous secretion appears, which is produced by the vaginal mucosa. During gestation, it can be transparent, white, yellow, red or brown.

Causes

The main reason for the appearance of discharge in the first trimester is the hormonal changes in the body of a woman:

• The safest is a transparent secret.
• A slightly brown secret in a small amount (spotting) occurs on the days of the planned menstruation the first month of pregnancy. With the appearance of aching pain in the lower back and lower abdomen, it is recommended to consult a gynecologist.
• If you observe a brown abundant secret, this may indicate a threatened miscarriage. Sometimes it is accompanied by aching or severe pain in the lower abdomen.
• Bloody secretion, such as during menstruation, is dangerous: it can be caused by an ectopic pregnancy or placental abruption.

What discharge in early pregnancy

According to the vaginal secret, the expectant mother can determine her condition. In the early stages, attention is paid to color, smell, texture or sensation. During the first trimester, a watery, colorless, odorless secretion is normal. However, it is recommended to consult a specialist in the presence of mucus:

• Brown color;
• white curdled discharge;
• yellow, greenish hue (purulent secret).

What are considered normal

Transparent color, small amount, lack of smell is considered the normal state of genital secretions during pregnancy. The mucus forms a mucus plug, which means that the embryo has successfully attached to the cervix. The process drags on slowly, so a white or transparent secret in the early stages will accompany the expectant mother for the entire gestation period.

Pathological discharge

Gynecologists include pathological discharges in pregnant women in the early stages, caused by bacteria or fungi that can harm the baby. These pathogens include candidiasis, which is caused by the reproduction of the Candida fungus. This disease cannot be treated, since the necessary drugs are contraindicated for pregnant women. If itching, burning, a color other than clear or white, accompanied by unpleasant odors (strong or weak), you should consult a doctor to maintain pregnancy.

White

White discharge in early pregnancy in a small amount does not indicate problems. However, if you notice unpleasant symptoms (a bad smell, the consistency of the secret has changed (it has become like cottage cheese), the genitals have turned red, you regularly feel a burning sensation), consult your doctor. Candidiasis can become a threat of deep rupture of the genital tract during childbirth. At the walls of the vagina, the tissues will become loose and lose elasticity, which leads to severe labor activity.

Red

The appearance of a scarlet secret during pregnancy is the most dangerous for a woman. They can be profuse, scanty brownish in color. In case of severe bleeding with severe pain in the lower abdomen, it is recommended to immediately consult a doctor. Such a secret signals an abortion or ectopic pregnancy. Not abundant light brown, brown discharge in the early stages is considered not fatal to the fetus.

The cause of the scarlet secret can be:

• cervical erosion;
• inaccurate douching;
• inaccurate contact gynecological examination;
• cystic skid;
• myoma nodes;
• abdominal trauma;
• polyp of the cervical canal;
• diseases that relate to the blood coagulation system.

Brown

A small secret of a light brown color may be during the attachment of the fetal egg to the uterus. If these are one-time short-term and scanty brown discharge at the beginning of pregnancy, then they do not pose a threat. During this period, a woman may be disturbed by a pulling discomfort in the lower abdomen. Dark brown discharge may be a sign of detachment of the chorion or future placenta.

The periodic or single appearance of a brown secret in the first trimester of pregnancy may be a sign of an ectopic, frozen or non-developing pregnancy, when the embryo dies, and the fetal egg remains in the uterine cavity. Over time, the placenta exfoliates from the walls of the uterus, which is the cause of the appearance of a dark secret in women. If it occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor.

gray

The secret of gray color stands out in the first stages, has a characteristic odor and is accompanied by a burning sensation in the genitals. This is a signal of the presence of genital infections (vaginitis, trichomoniasis or other diseases). Trichomoniasis is very dangerous for pregnant women, who in this case are subject to urgent hospitalization. Bacterial vaginitis is different. Pregnant girls with this disease find it difficult to bear a child.

Cream

Slight beige or creamy discharge during early pregnancy may indicate an inflammatory disease. In the process of exacerbation of the inflammatory disease, the girl may feel discomfort near the external genitalia, accompanied by the release of milk secretion. The reasons for the appearance may be:

• coli;
• staphylococcus or proteus;
• gonorrhea;
• gardenellosis or trichomoniasis.

Another reason for beige discharge is an insufficient amount of female sex hormones in the blood. The hormone progesterone supports the body during pregnancy, promotes the growth and tone of the uterus, reduces the activity of the immune system in the early stages of embryo development, which is necessary for the body to accept a fertilized egg. In case of bleeding, you should consult a doctor.

Treatment of discharge during early pregnancy

When examined by a gynecologist and after an ultrasound, the doctor can determine not only the timing of pregnancy, but also the problem with the secret. If the discharge in the early stages of pregnancy smells and looks strange, doctors examine the woman and take tests for fungal and vaginal infections. If the diseases are confirmed, the girl will be provided with safe treatment that will not harm either the child or the mother.

Bloody discharge during early pregnancy is treated with medication and bed rest with a special diet. If the treatment of uterine erosion is carried out after the onset of pregnancy, then it is removed using electrocoagulation. However, with the appearance of complications (pathology of the cervix), anti-inflammatory or wound healing drugs are used.

With the threat of miscarriage, the expectant mother is prescribed a course of taking hormonal drugs. Unfortunately, a frozen pregnancy cannot be treated: it ends with a spontaneous abortion. Foamy discharge is treated with effective medications, but not all drugs are suitable for pregnant women. Symptoms of thrush are recommended to be treated with warm baths of herbal decoctions or safe medicines.

At the beginning of pregnancy, the expectant mother may notice that discharges come out of the genital tract, which can be of various kinds. Many women begin to get very worried and nervous about this, because such discharge is not always the norm and may be the first warning about pregnancy disorders. Therefore, you should definitely visit a doctor to refute or confirm your own suspicions.

Discharge in early pregnancy

First of all, it is worth remembering that, regardless of whether a woman is pregnant or not, whitish or yellowish discharge from the genital tract is characteristic, and they do not have any smell.

If, in the early stages of pregnancy, the discharge has acquired a curdled character, has an unpleasant odor, causes a strong feeling of itching, you should consult a doctor, as these are the first signs of thrush. Of course, during pregnancy, treatment will not be the easiest, but necessary, so you should not let everything take its course.

At the beginning of pregnancy, blood discharge is the most dangerous, as it can be pathological. Every woman knows that menstruation cannot occur during pregnancy, with the exception of just a couple of drops of blood, the release of which occurs during the attachment of the fetal egg to the uterus.

If brown discharge appears in early pregnancy, there is a risk of miscarriage or fetal fading. There are cases that such discharge appears as the main sign that the egg with the fetus has attached itself outside the walls of the uterus. Only an experienced doctor can determine this by conducting, as well as submitting biomaterials for examination to determine the hCG hormone, since in the case of such pathologies, its level will be lowered.

In almost all cases, gynecologists, the onset of pregnancy, which is accompanied by discharge, are at risk of not bearing the fetus. But, at the same time, quite often, after carrying out all the necessary studies, it becomes clear that the pregnancy is proceeding normally and the fetus is developing correctly. In some cases, a pregnant woman may be prescribed observance of complete not only emotional, but also sexual rest, up to the birth itself.

Discharge during pregnancy: normal

Bloody issues

It is spotting that is the most dangerous not only for a woman’s health, but also for the safety of pregnancy. Such discharge can be both plentiful and very scarce, the color from pale pink to dark brown.

Subject to the discovery of heavy bleeding, which is accompanied by unpleasant pain, it is necessary to call as soon as possible ambulance because you need medical help. Before the ambulance arrives, the woman should lie down and remain completely physically calm.

Bloody discharge can be the main sign of a threatened abortion or indicate an ectopic pregnancy.

Only minor ones are harmless, since, most often, they appear exactly on the days when menstruation should begin.

Main medical procedures

Taking into account the reason that provoked the appearance of spotting in the early stages of pregnancy, there may be various treatment procedures:

• if placental abruption occurs, there is a need for immediate hospitalization of the pregnant woman in the gynecological department, while not only preserving therapy is carried out, but also hormone therapy;
• if there is a threat of miscarriage, the pregnant woman may need to be hospitalized, while the doctor prescribes maintenance therapy, in which half-bed rest is required, as well as hormone therapy. If necessary, hemostatic therapy is also prescribed;
• if erosive changes have occurred on the cervix, there is a need for special treatment, during which the pregnant woman is prescribed medications. Cauterization of erosions will not be carried out;
• if a missed pregnancy was diagnosed, the woman should be hospitalized, after which a medical abortion, mini-abortion or vacuum aspiration, artificial birth, is performed.

  Only an obstetrician-gynecologist will choose a method of treatment, taking into account the state of health of the woman, while the duration of pregnancy is of no small importance;

• if it has been determined, in any case, an immediate surgical intervention is carried out.

Regardless of the gestational age, a woman should remember that when certain signs appear, it is necessary to call an ambulance as soon as possible. These signs include the appearance, weakening of the pulse, a sharp decline blood pressure, strong heartbeat, pronounced weakness, profuse sweating, a sharp blanching of the skin.

Before the doctor arrives, the pregnant woman must observe complete physical rest.

With discharge in the early stages of pregnancy, you must not only consult a doctor, but also observe proper hygiene:

1. Strictly adhere to, wash the genitals with special products intended for intimate hygiene (first you need to consult a doctor).
2. The use of scented soaps, bubble baths, etc. must be completely abandoned.
3. Exclude sweets from your daily diet, as the abuse of sweets can provoke the appearance of harmful microflora.
4. Underwear must be made of cotton fabric.
