Why do “periods” appear during the first half of pregnancy? Contact bleeding.

Under the influence of hormones, the cervix during pregnancy is abundantly supplied with blood and becomes more vulnerable and sensitive. In some women, this can lead to minor spotting at the slightest external influence. For example, this can happen after a smear test by a gynecologist, the use of vaginal tablets/suppositories, or sexual intercourse.

Contact bleeding is a physiological phenomenon during pregnancy. However, even if you suspect the appearance of discharge for one of the above reasons, it is better to additionally consult a doctor. It is possible to reliably assess the condition of the cervix and exclude serious pathology only during an examination in a gynecological chair.
