Smear some blood at the end of pregnancy It is a matter of concern for any woman, but most of the time there is no worrying risk to the fetus. However, go to the gynecologist to assess if there is any damage.
There are some more probable causes of small vaginal bleeds at the end of pregnancy. The most common is that it is the result of trauma to the cervix, which is increasingly sensitive at this stage of pregnancy.
After an internal examination, such as a transvaginal ultrasound, or after having sex, small red or brown spots may occur that do not usually last more than one day.
Slight bleeding It can also be a sign of diseases or infections of the vagina or cervix, as well as uterine fibroids or cervical growths or polyps, causes that involve more risks: that's why you have to go to the doctor.
The visit to the hospital must also be urgent if the spotting is accompanied by contractions, fever, vomiting, dizziness or if it becomes severe bleeding.
The difference between spotting and bleeding It is important, because if we talk about bleeding there is intense flow and it does involve seriousness. If the hemorrhages are severe in the third trimester (intense, abundant, painful) there may be a risk of abortion so you have to go to the emergency room immediately.
A stain may not get to stain outer clothing or impregnate a compress or save slip. It is a small amount of bleeding mixed with normal vaginal discharge.
There are other unknown causes for small hemorrhages at the end of pregnancy, but do not miss this fact and consult the gynecologist, especially if the slight losses of blood are accompanied by pain or other symptoms. An ultrasound will usually determine the cause.
