Any bleeding during pregnancy should be reported to your doctor as soon as possible. However, there are a few red flags that indicate that getting your period during pregnancy can be a serious problem that requires immediate hospitalization.
Remember these warning signs:
• severe pain or intense cramps in the lower abdomen;
• heavy bleeding, and it does not matter whether it is accompanied by pain or not;
• vaginal discharge, which contains not only fluid, but also dense fragments (tissue);
• dizziness or fainting;
• temperature 38 °C or higher;
• chills.
If spotting during pregnancy is accompanied by any of these symptoms, even just one, call 911 immediately!
