Bloody Mucus Discharge At 35 Weeks Pregnant?




It has been coming out of clear brownish mucus mixed with blood for 2 days, but no contractions/heartburn. Midwives only give content-boosting drugs. Is it safe to still have sex?
Hi Alfina,



  

Thank you for asking HealthReplies.com.











The discharge of mucus mixed with blood in a pregnancy that has reached 35 weeks is not always a sign of labor. If you do not feel the slightest contraction, then this condition can be caused by the following factors:







  

Placenta previa (the placenta is located at the bottom, can approach or even stick to the birth canal)



Placental abruption (separation of the placenta from its attachment)  

Irritation of intimate organs, for example due to sexual intercourse



Cervicitis (inflammation of the cervix)



Vulvovaginitis (inflammation of the lips of the vagina), and so on



Given your gestational age has not reached 36 weeks, then sexual intercourse that involves penetration into the vagina you should limit. This is because, sexual intercourse is at risk of causing recurrent bleeding, especially if the cause of your previous complaint is related to placental abnormalities. This repeated bleeding can certainly endanger the safety of the fetus in your womb.



  

In addition to limiting sexual relations, you are also strongly advised to increase rest. Always keep your intimate organs clean to minimize the risk of infection. Don't forget, drink plenty of water, eat a balanced nutritious diet, stay away from cigarettes, and calm your mind from excessive stress or anxiety.



  

If there are repeated complaints, or other signs of labor appear, such as a tight stomach radiating to the lower back and amniotic fluid coming out, you should immediately consult an obstetrician for further treatment.



  

I hope this helps.

hello.. dear vaginal or white discharge is common and normal in pregnancy.. but see to the doctor immediately if you are odour of discharge is bad... hello dear. white discharge during pregnancy is due to the harmonal changes in the body which is quiet common. here are a few tips that might help you to reduce white discharge : maintain cleanliness. avoid fried & spicy foods. eat fresh foods. wear cotton underwear. wear loose & comfortable clothes. drink enough water. consume yogurt. take care. hi dear,
this is not at all true.white discharge comes due to hormonal fluctuations,which is very common in pregnancy.many women report such episodes.it is normal.if the discharges are smelly or itchy,it could be a sign of yeast infection and need to be treated by doctor ,that's it.so not to worry.
älso refer the healofy app for daily updates on baby development and growth,as well as pregnancy care.it also gives you enormous info on post delivery baby care and diet.donot miss out! if you have had problems with excessive bleeding this may be related. obviously you must be seeing a doctor and you should address this question to the person ordering your tests. good luck. see more... i&#39;ve read before the baby attaches to the uterus or forms a placenta, it doesn&#39;t get material from the blood directly. instead it gets it from the yolk sack and the uterine lining. some use this as an okay to drink during two week wait. hi dear... yes it's quite normal and it takes time to get regular timings.. so don't worry. happy motherhood not very likely that contraceptive cause that. if you are not nursing mother then perhaps dedicated mri of pituitary might be next step to evaluate finding provided that repeated prolactine test is consistently high. see more... it would be best to see your gynaecologist about the discharge rather than treating it when you don&#39;t know what&#39;s wrong. canesten only treats thrush.<br><br>best wishes brown blood is old blood so it could have been when your dr has given you an exam he&#39;s just irritated the area. it could also be remnants of implantation. i would say aslong as its not red blood you should be fine but you should ring your dr and discuss with him to ease your mind as you don&#39;t want to be stressing yourself out if you don&#39;t need to be
good luck and let me know what happens x if you had vaginal bleeding after you took the plan b (or equivalent) then treat that as you period. if you are more than 7 days late for your period, check a home pregnancy test. if you are having sex and don't want to get pregnant, you should see a doctor to get on a reliable method of birth control. i also recommend having your partner wear condoms to help prevent pregnancy and stds. see more...
