Bleeding & Pregnancy
Cases of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy are relatively rare, but it should always be promptly reported to your doctor or another medical professional, according to both the Mayo Clinic and MedlinePlus. While not every type of pregnancy complication or unpleasant side effect can be prevented, you can reduce your chances of vaginal bleeding by avoiding tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs, as well as eating a balanced diet. Also, taking prenatal vitamins with plenty of folic acid can help reduce your chances of pregnancy-related bleeding. Finally, if you do experience vaginal bleeding, drink plenty of water and avoid sexual intercourse until a medical professional determines the cause of this potentially serious pregnancy-related symptom.
