The 11th week of pregnancy is coming, which will be a new stage in the development of your baby. Over the entire previous period, the baby has done a tremendous job in its development, and now the time has come for its active growth.

From next week, the placenta will fully protect the fetus, making it practically invulnerable to harmful factors. It turns out that it is the beginning of the 11th week that becomes the period from which doctors officially call your unborn baby a fetus!

Baby at 11 weeks pregnant

You are 11 weeks pregnant, what is happening with the baby?

• Outwardly, your baby still looks funny. He has short legs, the head is still twice the size of the body, widely spaced eyes and low-set ears.
• But his heart, brain, liver and other organs and systems work completely independently!
• The placenta is completing its formation and the number of blood vessels in it is rapidly growing.
• The time has come for the appearance of the first lymphocytes of the baby, which are responsible for his immunity.
• The genitals of the expected girl or boy began to be determined.
• The time has come for laying the iris of the fetal eyes.
• The baby's intestine produces its first, similar to peristalsis, movements.
• The palms and small fingers of the fetus become sensitive. The baby already knows how to stretch.
• The cervical region of the fetus is actively strengthened, and the baby tries to raise his head.
• It's incredible, but right now the baby has a sense of smell! Now he is able to smell the food that mom eats and remember these sensations. At 11 weeks pregnant, your baby's taste preferences are formed.

At the 11th week of pregnancy, the size of the fetus continues to change. Now it has a length of more than 5 cm, and weighs approximately 7-8 g.

The fetus at the 11th week of pregnancy already has good protection against various external infections, but now it is extremely necessary for the mother to be wary of such a disease as rubella.

It is also worth excluding anesthesia even during treatment at the dentist. These and similar activities can be carried out only after the twelfth week of pregnancy. Watch your own health, because a common cold at the 11th week of pregnancy can bring discomfort not only to you, but also to problems for the baby!

Pay close attention to your own diet, eliminating fatty, spicy and fried foods from your diet. You should not drink a lot of fluids at night and overeat, because swelling and constipation can develop at any stage of pregnancy.

Feelings at 11 weeks pregnant

• Special external changes in your figure are unlikely to be noticeable to others.
• The tummy is not particularly noticeable at the 11th week of pregnancy, but gradually the figure of the future mother is rounded, the breasts are enlarged and filled.
• If you have not yet changed your old wardrobe, then it's time to think about updating it. The expectant mother will need comfortable and spacious clothes that correspond to her current situation.
• Do not worry about the change in the condition of your nails and hair. If they become dull and brittle, this is a temporary phenomenon that gradually disappears after childbirth.
• The eleventh week of pregnancy is coming - the time for a gradual decrease in the oiliness of your skin, if it took place earlier. The skin now becomes drier, pimples and blackheads disappear, oily sheen.
• Nausea begins to recede a little in those who previously suffered from toxicosis. It becomes much easier for you, however, drowsiness and fatigue still remind you of yourself.
• As the fetus grows, the uterus expands and expands, which rises into the abdominal cavity. Now it stops pressing on your bladder, and the need for frequent trips to the toilet is reduced.
• This is the time to increase blood volume and enhance the metabolic processes of your body.
• Therefore, do not be surprised at the appearance of new sensations of internal heat, intense sweating and constant thirst.
• The emotional state of the expectant mother stabilizes.
• You are 11 weeks pregnant - a photo of the tummy will be an interesting and memorable picture!

The expectant mother should be attentive to all her painful sensations. Your 11th week of pregnancy is coming - your lower back hurts, other painful sensations appear, especially when it comes to abdominal pain. Such pains can have different causes, and do not always indicate pathology.

Here are some examples to help you determine the cause of pain:

• The abdomen at week 11 of pregnancy may hurt due to the weakening of the stretched ligaments that support the uterus. In this case, soreness usually occurs episodically, is felt on the sides of the abdomen and is inconsistent. Such pains do not cause special troubles for women and do not pose any threats.
• A completely different picture, when the pain that occurs in the lower abdomen, has a spasmodic character, as during menstruation, and the stomach pulls and ache at the same time. Such pains indicate an increased tone of the uterus and warn of the risk of miscarriage.

You should immediately consult a doctor, especially if such pain is accompanied by bloody or brown vaginal discharge!

Vaginal discharge at 11 weeks pregnant

At the 11th week of pregnancy, the threat of its breakdown is already much lower, however, the expectant mother should be very responsible about her own health, while paying attention to the nature of the discharge.

Normally, at the 11th week of pregnancy, vaginal discharge is as follows:

• uniform consistency,
• relatively thick,
• mucous,
• no unpleasant odor
• whitish light color.

It is the effect of progesterone in the first trimester of pregnancy that explains some of the thickening of the vaginal discharge.

Please note that the appearance of purulent, yellowish, green-gray, curdled discharge, the presence of foam or flakes in them, the presence of a sharp unpleasant odor indicates the development of an infectious genital disease. In this case, such discharge may be accompanied by the appearance of discomfort in the genital area: itching, burning, swelling of the genitals are possible.

In such a situation, the expectant mother needs to urgently go to the doctor for an examination, followed by treatment of the infection. Otherwise, there is a high risk of intrauterine infection of the fetus and the development of various complications.

An instant reaction of a pregnant woman is also required by the appearance of spotting brownish or bloody vaginal discharge at this time. At 11 weeks pregnant, brown discharge is a signal of a serious problem. Even a small amount of such discharge, accompanied by abdominal pain, indicates the risk of premature termination of pregnancy.

In this case, immediate specialized assistance will be required to save your child.

By the way, bloody vaginal discharge can also occur due to cervical erosion. In this case, they are not accompanied by abdominal pain and appear after sexual intercourse or examination by a gynecologist.

A planned ultrasound is not prescribed at this time, but many mothers ask for an ultrasound at 11 weeks of pregnancy. A photo of a baby during this period of pregnancy for many becomes the first picture of a long-awaited child.

Sometimes, in order to confirm the normal development of the fetus, diagnose the mother's condition with abdominal pain, and exclude violations in the development of the placenta and baby, the doctor may refer the woman to undergo an unscheduled ultrasound examination. You can also take a photo of the fetus at 11 weeks of pregnancy.

During the study, the doctor will listen to the baby's heartbeat, assess the condition of the uterus, establish the location and condition of the placenta, the place of attachment of the fetus, and the characteristics of the amniotic fluid. It is interesting that when the pregnancy is 11 weeks old, the photo of the child at this time looks like a picture of a very small but full-fledged little man.

In general, ultrasound will be another "safety" method for detecting any pathologies in the development of the baby and deviations in the course of pregnancy in general.

Many pregnant women experience symptoms such as mucus discharge from the vagina. Basically, all expectant mothers are worried about this, especially if it is bloody discharge from the penis. Some perceive this as a possible miscarriage or miscarriage. There are other types of this disorder, each form is interpreted differently.

As a rule, the reason for the formation of a deviation from the norm is always different. In some cases, it does not indicate that a lesion has occurred in the body or that work in the genital area has been disrupted. One of the most natural factors that detect the presence of discharge (when the patient is the eleventh week of pregnancy) is that the body produces large amounts of progesterone.

Due to the active action of progesterone substances, the fetus is wrapped in a mucous membrane that protects it from the penetration of infectious bacteria. Experts say that the norm for the formation of compartments at the eleventh week of pregnancy from the vagina is a whitish mucous discharge. Moreover, such mucus compartments should be odorless, and also not cause discomfort to the pregnant woman. Their thick consistency occurs against the background of an increased content of progesterone substances in the patient's blood flow.

Reasons for education

Important! If a woman has discharge at the 11th week of pregnancy, then it is necessary to establish with what character they are expressed, since further actions depend on this, as well as the health of the fetus.

If discharge is detected at the 11th week of pregnancy, doctors conduct an examination and identify which factor provoked this disorder. In medical practice, there are two types of factors that affect the appearance of separation from the penis during pregnancy: the first type is a physiological factor, the second type is associated with the action of a pathological factor.

Doctors warn expectant mothers that they should be attentive to their health and seek medical help in a timely manner. Any discharge can be a sign that pathology is progressing in the body. Careful monitoring of your condition is required at 4, 7 and 11 weeks.

Types of secretions

With any failure in the body, and even a slight indisposition, there is always some factor or disease that led to the occurrence of such consequences. Regardless of the form and circumstances, only a specialist can determine the reason for such a formation.

Doctors identify the main types of discharge in women at the eleventh week of gestation:

• the first type is considered normal, since with this form a light mucus compartment is found without an unpleasant odor, a slightly viscous consistency (most often the mucus compartments are transparent). During their formation, a woman does not feel much discomfort. In view of such circumstances, this type of disorder often goes unnoticed;
• the second type is a manifestation of bloody discharge. This form is very dangerous, it is a sign that spontaneous interruption of gestation may occur.
• the third type is the presence of secretions with a characteristic inflammatory effect. These are green discharge, sometimes they have a yellowish color. They tend to have an unpleasant odor;
• the fourth type is the formation of curdled secretions. This form means that the woman progresses candidiasis. The formation of thrush occurs due to the fact that a woman has a change in the hormonal background.

Appearance of brown slime

Brown discharge at 11 weeks pregnant is often a major concern for a pregnant woman. If this is a frozen pregnancy, then blood clots begin to stand out like a thick mass, they are also characterized by the formation of an unpleasant odor. But, this is not the only symptom, in addition to the departments, the expectant mother suffers from the occurrence of cramping pains in the lower abdomen, her health also worsens, and the woman is haunted by constant dizziness.

If these signs are found, medical attention is needed. Basically, such symptoms mean a miscarriage, but if all the necessary measures are taken in time, it is possible to reduce the harm to the health of the pregnant woman (during a miscarriage, the patient fails in the body, the immune system noticeably decreases, and an infection may join). When a woman is pregnant for 11 weeks, the presence of brown discharge manifests itself in the form of a meager character and at the same time the expectant mother feels good, then the reason for this formation is the influence of the estrogen hormone.

Presence of yellow mucus

Yellow discharge at the 11th week of pregnancy is a frequent formation that worries expectant mothers. This is a very alarming signal, especially when an inhomogeneous mixture with a sticky consistency flows out. With this form, the patient is accompanied by severe itching and discomfort. The reason for this disorder is the presence of an infectious disease in the body. As a rule, this occurs against the background of chronic cystitis. Such a disease must be eliminated, since its long stay in the body is bad for health and impairs the development of the fetus.

If you start complex treatment in a timely manner and follow all the recommendations of a specialist, then you can eliminate disorders without causing any harm to the child. You should not ignore the formation of changes in the body and take pregnancy seriously, because the health of the baby depends on it. Naturally, doctors select a therapy that consists mainly of natural ingredients (since chemical preparations adversely affect pregnancy).

Transparent compartments from the vagina

The appearance of transparent and whitish sections of mucus means both the norm and a change in the pathological nature. Often, in the second trimester, this is due to the fact that amniotic fluid is leaking. Refute or confirm the diagnosis using special testing. A pregnant woman is prescribed to wear test pads that determine the leakage of amniotic fluid.

You should follow all the doctor's instructions, take special medications for the normal development of the fetus, as well as vitamins for pregnancy. There are also such circumstances that if one or another medication is taken incorrectly, it can be canceled in the body (just the discharge will testify to this). You also need to rest more often, be in the fresh air.

Mucus streaked with blood

In gynecological practice, many such cases have been recorded when pregnant women sought help in the presence of spotting, especially in the eleventh week of gestation. According to medical data, many of the patients gave birth to healthy children. As a rule, if the volume of blood streaks is small, then pink hues are obtained at the mucus compartment. It is important to keep track of the days on which the mucus is formed.

There are cases when a woman at the 11th week of pregnancy, the discharge of mucus with blood means that this is the remaining menstruation in the body. Such separations occur exactly when a pregnant woman should begin her menstruation cycle. There is a release against the background of hormonal disorders. Doctors say that such manifestations are not dangerous and, with proper further management of pregnancy, do not affect the health of the baby and mother. But, there are more serious problems when the blood clots contained in the discharge are the fact that the woman has an ectopic or miscarriage.

In the case of gore, when a woman is 11 weeks pregnant, brown discharge is discharged from the vagina. Under such circumstances, the only option is to have surgery. Another of the dangerous reasons is the growth of tissue structures in the placenta. At such times, blood compartments can be provoked by this manifestation. Also, the separation of mucus with blood is sometimes formed due to erosion in the cervix or fibroids. Such diseases are completely curable if therapy is started in a timely manner. This treatment will not affect the health of the child.

Regardless of whether the discharge is natural or dangerous, it is necessary to check with a specialist what further predictions this symptom may have. Additional counseling never hurts, but only helps to make sure that nothing threatens the pregnancy. As a rule, when a woman is 11 weeks pregnant, she is worried not only about the presence of discharge, but also about other factors.

Many women, before becoming pregnant, undergo special treatment, are examined, and when vaginal discharge appears, it frightens them very much. In gynecology, this is considered a natural phenomenon that can last the entire pregnancy. The norm of such manifestations is a white color without a special smell. If you carefully monitor the course of pregnancy and consult with a specialist, then nothing will threaten your health. With the right approach and the absence of bad habits, as well as timely consultation, the pregnancy will go well.

During pregnancy, the type of vaginal discharge inevitably changes. This is due to changes in the hormonal background, with some anatomical changes in the process of bearing a child. Normally, the vaginal secret should be light or yellowish throughout the entire gestational period. Brown discharge usually scares expectant mothers. Is it worth it to be afraid of them and what they can talk about at different times, it is worth considering in more detail.

Peculiarities

Highlights should not be underestimated. Vaginal secretion is produced by cervical epithelial cells. At different stages of pregnancy, they can tell a lot about the condition of the expectant mother and fetus. Immediately after conception and up to 8-9 weeks of pregnancy discharge from a woman is normally rather meager, and sometimes, in general, is practically absent. This is the effect of progesterone, which conducts the main preparation of the body for long-term gestation.

From 10 weeks the vaginal secret becomes more abundant, and by the end of pregnancy, not only abundant, but also watery. This is how the hormone estrogen acts on the vaginal secretion. The task of the secretory function of the female genital tract is to maintain a healthy, stable microflora. The genital tract will be the first place the baby will enter in the birth process after it leaves the uterine cavity. The health of the baby depends on their health.

The current medical literature describes normal pregnancy discharge as being light, odorless, or having a slight sour-milk odor. Other variants of the norm are also considered, but only under certain conditions and for certain periods.

Brown highlights are no exception. They can not only talk about dangerous complications, but also be a natural variant of normal vaginal secretion. Red blood cells give the discharge a brown color. This means that brown discharge is a type of blood discharge.

Norm

A small amount of blood in the discharge in the very early stages may be the norm when a fertilized egg is implanted into the uterine cavity. This phenomenon is called implantation bleeding. It occurs due to a violation of the integrity of the endometrium during the attachment of the blastocyst. One of the options for such natural bleeding can be light brown discharge in a small amount about 8-9 days after the intended conception (or after ovulation - for ease of calculation).

Brownish spotting on panty liners or underwear is not long lasting. Usually there is no trace of them in a day or two. There is nothing alarming in such a phenomenon.

In addition, not every woman has such an early sign of pregnancy. You should know that the appearance of dark brown discharge with clots before the delay can hardly be considered a sign of implantation. Rather, we are talking about a hormonal failure, in which menstruation began ahead of time. During the first 2-3 months of pregnancy, moderate or scanty yellow-brown discharge may be due to global hormonal changes.

The progesterone raging in the body of the expectant mother usually gives the vaginal secret a yellowish tint, brown “notes” in it can appear due to high or low levels of progesterone, due to the vulnerability of the genital tract due to friability under the action of hormones. Normally, such discharges appear without pain, they do not contain inclusions and impurities, streaks of blood, and do not disturb the woman. Usually they stop after the body of the expectant mother fully adapts to the new position and circumstances.

In the later stages (a week or two before the expected date of birth), a woman may pay attention to the appearance of brown discharge with streaks. Usually they are accompanied by the secretion of mucus in small quantities or a rather impressive mucous clot. In this case, we are talking about the discharge of the mucous plug, which, during the gestation period, closed the cervical canal and prevented the penetration of everything foreign and dangerous into the uterine cavity where the baby grew up.

The discharge of the cork is a harbinger of an early birth. He also does not need treatment.

Small brown discharge after sex or a doctor's examination is also a variant of the norm. Their reason lies in the extreme vulnerability of the genital tract of a pregnant woman. Under the influence of progesterone, they become loose, vulnerable to even minor mechanical stress.

Such discharges usually do not last long - no more than a day, they are not accompanied by any unpleasant sensations and additional symptoms. There are no clots in them, they do not increase, their number changes downward. These are the three main reasons why brown discharge can be considered normal. All other situations, alas, are exclusively pathological.

Risk of miscarriage

Brown discharge in the early stages is often accompanied by the threat of miscarriage. It is not difficult to recognize a threatening condition: a woman notes not only a change in the color of the vaginal secretion, but also a general deterioration in well-being. Severe attacks of dizziness can be observed, pain in the lower abdomen and lower back is almost always present.

The pain syndrome can be expressed and intense or proceed in the form of aching weak pain. However, the very combination of "pain and brown discharge" should alert the pregnant woman and force her to seek qualified medical help as soon as possible.

Blood in the discharge appears due to detachment of the fetal egg. A space filled with blood appears between the membranes of the fetus and the wall of the uterus. With a small retrochorial hematoma, the discharge will be predominantly pink-brown and not abundant, with a significant detachment - abundant, with clots, red-brown.

A threat can develop for a variety of reasons. These include anomalies in the structure of the uterus, genetic pathologies of the fetus that are incompatible with its further development, inflammatory and infectious diseases of the genital tract and reproductive organs, hormonal deficiency, as well as bad habits, severe stress, excessive exercise.

A developing miscarriage is characterized by an increase in discharge over time, the appearance of cramping pains in the lower back and in the cervical region, as well as pulling pains with an “echo” to the anus. The brown daub turns into a more saturated color, the consistency liquefies until liquid scarlet blood with blood clots begins to flow out.

Such a metamorphosis usually indicates that the miscarriage has already taken place, and along with the vaginal secret, fragments of the membranes and the embryo come out. What it really is and at what stage the threat of miscarriage, only a doctor can understand. Therefore, when the characteristic symptoms described above appear, you should definitely call an ambulance. In 95% of cases, pregnancy can be saved with timely treatment.

Hormonal deficiency

Hormones control monthly menstrual bleeding. Progesterone in the second half of the cycle gradually decreases, the concentration of estrogens rises and menstruation begins. Do not think that menstrual discharge during pregnancy is a variant of the norm. As a rule, this happens in the first months after conception due to a lack of progesterone.

Of course, there are rare situations in which menstrual bleeding during pregnancy can be conditionally considered normal. This happens if a woman has developed two eggs in the current cycle instead of one, and ovulation occurred twice with a difference of several days. In this case, the first egg was not fertilized, it died and descended into the uterus, and the second was fertilized and went to the uterus for implantation.

Bloody discharge will come on the day of the expected menstruation, but such periods will differ significantly. First of all, there will be few allocations. After a few days, scanty and incomprehensible periods will stop and will not be repeated within the next 9 months. People used to say about such a phenomenon that “the fruit is washed”, but in practice this is not common.

With hormonal deficiency or an imbalance of hormones in the body, the discharge resembles slight pale brown marks on linen or a thin sanitary napkin. They may increase slightly or disappear completely, after which they appear again.

A woman should definitely consult a doctor in order to be tested for hormones and start supportive treatment with appropriate hormonal drugs, which will bring the balance of these active substances in the body to the norm necessary for the safe bearing of a child.

Ectopic pregnancy

If for a number of reasons the fetal egg cannot enter the uterine cavity and implant where it is supposed to, it can be fixed in the fallopian tube or lower and be fixed in the cervix. This is possible if a woman has difficulty passing the egg through the tubes due to the narrowed lumen of the tube. The cause can be inflammatory diseases of the tubes, appendages, ovaries, as well as endometriosis, the presence of tumor formations in the uterine cavity, in the fallopian tubes.

If the transfer of the zygote, and subsequently the blastocyst, is impaired, then the development of the embryo outside the uterine cavity is not excluded. An ectopic pregnancy before a certain period may not make itself felt. There will be a delay, tests will show a second strip (slightly paler than during uterine pregnancy, but this is an optional sign). And only when the embryo becomes quite large, the pathology can manifest itself.

Rejection of the fetal egg, if it is attached in a place not intended for this by nature, is inevitable. This process, at best, will begin before the organ to which the fetal egg is attached is seriously injured.

Rejection is accompanied by severe cutting pain in the abdomen, rather profuse brown discharge, which quickly becomes a brighter red color. In the worst case, a rupture of the fallopian tube may occur with massive bleeding into the abdominal cavity, which can be fatal for a woman. The exact place of attachment of the fetal egg is quite well determined by ultrasound already at 5–6 weeks of gestation.

Women who have a history of ectopic pregnancies, as well as miscarriages, inflammatory diseases of the gynecological profile, operations on the reproductive organs, after which scars and adhesions could remain, with a positive pregnancy test, should visit a doctor as soon as possible and do an ultrasound scan to rule out incorrect attachment of the fetus. With an ectopic pregnancy, there is no other option than the removal of the fetal egg.

With rarer and more dangerous types of such pregnancy - cervical and isthmus pregnancy, it is usually not possible to save the uterus. With a tubal ectopic pregnancy, if there is no rupture, it is most often possible to save the tubes, and the woman will subsequently be able to become pregnant and give birth to a child.

Placenta previa or abruption

If the placenta (or chorion - its predecessor) is low in a woman, then a brown spot or discharge of all shades of brown may be a sign of placental abruption. The most dangerous are brown intense discharge that occurs with complete and incomplete placenta previa.

With full presentation, the "children's place" is located at the bottom of the uterus and completely blocks the entrance to the cervical canal. Incomplete - the entrance to the cervical canal is closed by about two-thirds or less. Any negative impact and even the most ordinary stress can cause severe bleeding in a woman with such a pregnancy pathology.

With any form of chorion previa (placenta), sudden movements, emotional upheavals, sex, physical activity, jumping, shaking in transport, leaning forward are prohibited. In some women, episodic bleeding recurs until childbirth.

If such a diagnosis as low placentation has already been made and confirmed by ultrasound data, a woman should be very careful. If there is no such diagnosis and the placenta is located normally, the woman still risks experiencing her abruption. This becomes possible when falling, especially with an abdominal injury, a sharp jump in hormone levels, severe emotional shock, lifting weights, or taking certain medications prohibited during pregnancy.

Vaginal discharge during detachment is usually quite profuse, although pain may not be present. The age of the problem can be judged by the shade of the discharge. Fresh blood that has just separated and come out is always bright, scarlet. If, after detachment, the blood did not come out for some time and was in the space between the "children's place" and the wall of the uterus, then it will have brown shades of varying intensity.

Other gynecological problems

Inflammatory diseases of the reproductive and genitourinary system during pregnancy are not at all uncommon. The immunity of the expectant mother is significantly reduced (and this is also the merit of progesterone!), which is why any fluctuations in the balance of microflora can cause local inflammation.

If a woman before the onset of an “interesting situation” had chronic diseases of the genital organs or organs of the urinary system, then during the period of maximum decrease in immunity - by the middle of pregnancy, they may well make themselves felt. Many inflammatory processes of non-infectious origin proceed with the release of a vaginal secretion of a yellow, light brownish hue.

Allocations are always accompanied by additional symptoms, for example, with adnexitis - pain in the right or left side, pulling and cutting pains in the appendages, with cervicitis - unpleasant sensations in the depths of the vagina, as well as the appearance of mucous impurities in a brownish vaginal secretion.

Diseases of infectious origin are not excluded. These can be sexually transmitted infections, as well as sexually transmitted diseases. Many of them have a rather long incubation period, so at the time of registration, the examination may not reveal pathologies, and real symptoms will appear later.

The most dangerous are brown and brown discharge, which have greenish purulent impurities, as well as with an unpleasant and pungent odor. They indicate the bacterial origin of the problem, which, in case of delayed treatment, can result in intrauterine infection of the fetus and even its death. Brown discharge of a smearing nature can manifest problems with the cervix, inflammation of the cervical canal.

After IVF

If a couple has had to resort to assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF, you should be prepared for the fact that the discharge will be significantly different from the discharge that is normal for a natural pregnancy. So, after embryo transfer for almost two weeks, brownish discharge is considered a variant of the norm. This is the reaction of the female body to hormonal therapy, which she underwent before the replanting of embryos and passes after it.

As well as brown spotting discharge from the vagina may indicate successful implantation. If they are a sign of implantation, brown streaks or scanty spotting usually appear 5-6 days after hatching. For a third of women, a change in the color of the vaginal secretion appears only 8–10 days after replanting.

If the discharge of an unusual color lasts more than 14 days, doctors regard this as an alarm signal - not everything is in order with pregnancy.

But there is no need to despair, because after an analysis of the concentration of the hCG hormone in the blood, a treatment will be prescribed that will help maintain the pregnancy and bear a healthy baby, maybe several babies. In the worst case, brown discharge after two weeks from the moment of replanting may indicate that the embryos have stopped developing and their rejection has begun. After treatment, an IVF attempt can be repeated.

What to do?

When brown discharge appears, a pregnant woman should in no case engage in self-diagnosis. All of the above is nothing more than material for self-education for reference purposes, and not a guide for making any diagnoses to oneself.

There are not so many options for the physiological norm with this kind of vaginal secretion, but there are more than enough options for pathologies. For this reason alone, a woman should immediately see a doctor. Ultrasound scanning, a vaginal smear, as well as blood and urine tests will help to find the exact answer to the question of why blood impurities appeared in the secretion of the genital tract.

If the discharge is scanty and not accompanied by pain, you should consult a doctor at the antenatal clinic at the place of residence. If brown discharge is abundant, with clots, pain syndrome, then you should go to bed, avoid standing or walking and wait for the ambulance immediately called.

Arriving doctors need to inform the gestational age (from the first day of the last menstruation), describe in detail all the symptoms, including even the most insignificant ones, in your opinion, and also tell about all previous pregnancies and their outcome. All this information will help doctors quickly guess the cause of the bleeding and take you to the gynecological hospital or the emergency department of the maternity hospital with the most accurate formulation of the problem. Every minute can be decisive, it is necessary to help doctors understand you correctly.

If brown discharge recurs sporadically, you should tell the observing obstetrician-gynecologist about this so that he can give the most complete and accurate recommendations regarding the lifestyle of the expectant mother, the daily routine, work and rest, the opportunity to have sex, and also prescribe the necessary supportive treatment depending on the reasons.

With the threat of miscarriage of low placentation, antispasmodic drugs are prescribed that relax the muscles of the uterus, do not allow its tone, as well as vitamins, drugs to improve uteroplacental blood flow and light herbal sedatives. With placental abruption after inpatient treatment, a woman may be prescribed hemostatic drugs. With hormonal problems, a lack of progesterone, certain dosages of hormonal drugs are recommended, which completely compensate for the deficiency in the body.

Any problem that arises during the bearing of a baby, including one manifested by the appearance of atypical discharge, will be resolved faster and more correctly, if you follow simple safety rules, such as:

• it is worth monitoring the nature of the discharge daily throughout pregnancy;
• it is necessary to use only hygienic thin pads, tampons cannot be used during pregnancy;
• responsibly it is necessary to treat the issues of intimate hygiene in order to prevent inflammatory processes due to its violation;
• you should not change your sexual partner during pregnancy;

• you need to take care of your reproductive health, avoid too harsh and rough sex, trauma to the genital tract and cervix;
• it is necessary to regularly attend a antenatal clinic and undergo all the necessary examinations and tests;
• you should stop smoking, do not take alcohol and drugs during pregnancy;
• it is worth avoiding stress, conflicts, not lifting weights and limiting physical activity, which can provoke a threat of abortion.

During pregnancy, there is an active restructuring of the whole organism in connection with the birth of a new life. This is not surprising. Now the expectant mother must take care not only of herself, but also of her baby. Therefore, you need to carefully monitor all the signals that the body sends.

Pregnancy is a special period. It doesn't always bring pleasant surprises. Pregnancy can provoke an exacerbation of chronic diseases or allergies. Allocations also do not always go favorably. They change their composition throughout pregnancy. The first thing to note is that discharge is the norm if a woman does not experience itching, burning and pain. In all other cases, you should follow the advice that will be given in this article.

First, it is worth starting with a brief description of the development of processes at the 11th week of pregnancy. The organs of the unborn baby are still being formed, but now it will begin to develop much faster than in previous periods. Another feature is that now the embryo can be confidently called a fetus, since part of the body's system is already fully functional. For example, heart. It actively supplies the organs with blood. The brain of the baby is also involved in the work. In addition, already at week 11, it is quite possible to determine further immunity being laid down. The baby himself is active: he can roll over, stretch and move his arms.

It is worth remembering that the needs of the fetus will be higher with each term, since the new organism needs not only to gain a foothold, but also to maintain its growth and life.

Progesterone (pregnancy hormone) secretes mucus. This is characteristic of the female half since ancient times. First of all, they perform a protective function: mucus forms a cork that protects the baby from the outside world. Subsequently, during childbirth, it comes out. In addition, all unfavorable microorganisms are also cleaned and removed along with the secretions. There is no pronounced discharge in this period in a woman.

All changes will take place a little later. Some pregnant women may notice an increase in the amount of mucus. They should also be viscous and thick. Body temperature can also become quite a significant sign. If it is slightly elevated (37.5) and there are no symptoms of lethargy, then this should be considered normal. Otherwise, action must be taken.

The main thing to remember is the color and consistency of the discharge. So, usually they should be white (or gray), maybe slightly yellowish and transparent. Everything is quite individual. Only the symptoms in the body remain unchanged (fever, weakness, sharp cramping pains in the abdomen, dizziness, etc.). In this case, the selections are:

• White curdled
• greenish
• yellow with pus
• Brownish (bloody)

White (cheesy) discharge:

A woman should be wary of these discharges. One of the obvious signs is the presence of candidiasis. The fact that something is wrong in development is also evidenced by a sharp and even putrid smell. He shows the disease mentioned above.

Also, thrush can be the cause. This is one of the most common diseases. However, drug treatment is not prescribed at such an early stage, since the immunity of both the mother and the child is extremely sensitive. Therefore, the doctor can only review the nutrition and activity of the mother in order to reduce the level of itching and other uncomfortable signs.

greenish:

The symptoms of such discharges are the same as those of others. This is the main symptom of an emerging infection, and if started, then the onset of a subsequent disease. The main ones are:

• Gonorrhea
• Chlamydia
• Trichomonas

The bioenvironment of the vagina changes and provokes the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. In normal cases, such diseases are actively treated and can be completely eradicated. In the case of pregnancy, everything happens next to the embryo, so it can also negatively affect it. It is worth remembering the susceptibility of the child's body. Any inflammation can cause premature termination of pregnancy. And this is already very serious. If at least one of the signs is found, you should immediately visit a doctor who will help weaken the processes.

Yellow:

As with other types of discharge, this indicates the presence of an infection in the body. Especially if accompanied by unpleasant sensations: burning, pain. The situation becomes more dangerous if such discharge turns into pus. If a woman does not like to visit doctors, here she should neglect her principles and put her baby's health as a priority. And such signs can easily provoke a miscarriage.

If this happens, it requires an immediate gynecological examination. Spouses planning a pregnancy must pass a series of tests and, in case of deviations, eliminate them. Then the chance to give birth to a healthy and strong baby will be many times higher.

It is also worth paying attention to the yellowish discharge. Sometimes urine can stain mucus. This does not pose a particular danger, you should visit the restroom more often so as not to cause unnecessary discomfort to yourself.

Brownish highlights:

The worst thing that such a color can show is a frozen pregnancy. A mother may not even realize that her child is already dead. This also manifests itself in ectopic pregnancy. Dried blood exudes with an unpleasant odor. Accompanied by general poor health and cramping pains.

Also at the eleventh week, light brown discharge may also appear, but the woman does not feel any other symptoms. This is where the hormone estrogen comes into play. However, without consulting a specialist, it is not recommended to take measures on your own.

Blood secretions:

More dangerous than brown discharge is only the onset of bleeding. This is already the beginning of the abortion. This case requires urgent intervention of doctors and it is no longer possible to do something to save the child.

It is possible to determine an ectopic pregnancy with the delivery of tests and ultrasound. If ultrasound indicates the presence of such, an operation is performed to remove the fetal egg. If not removed in time, the fetus will grow and rupture the tissues, which will turn into life-threatening bleeding.

Of course, some women experienced this and later gave birth to a healthy child. This may be caused by a large number of blood vessels. The fragile walls of the capillaries can burst and appear along with the secretions, coloring everything in a pinkish color. A similar color can also be one of the reasons for the development of cervical erosion. The woman does not feel pain, and the treatment itself is not prescribed. Moreover, for some, the resulting scar disappears on its own.

It may happen that spotting is just the remnants of menstrual blood. Usually they are noticeable in those days when the menstruation was really going on. The reason is the failure of the hormones, but this can be corrected with the help of a certain diet and the appointment of vitamins for subsequent periods. There is no danger to the development of the fetus.

Even if there are some safe signs, this phenomenon should not be ignored. For women who have this first pregnancy, bleeding can be seriously frightening, and also, out of ignorance, they may miss some alarm signals. That is why it is necessary

appear at the gynecologist on time and follow all his recommendations in order to avoid unpleasant consequences.

Absence of discharge - the norm?

Allocations in pregnant and non-pregnant women in one quantity or another should always be. Therefore, if no mucus is observed, it is worth thinking about some deviation. This question often remains without much influence, which is in vain.

As noted earlier, discharge is part of the protective function, which creates a shield against bacteria and cleanses the biological environment of the vagina. Such an important function must be present.

Of course, you need to take tests for hormones. Their predominance or lack can significantly affect the formation of the fetus. There are no particularly dangerous consequences here, but in order to restore the balance, it is worth increasing the amount of nutrients. To do this, you just need to include more healthy foods and a moderate active load in your diet. It is recommended to consult a doctor.
