Information for Patients

Bleeding in the 2nd trimester pregnancy

(12-19+6 weeks) You have been given this leaflet because you have had some symptoms which you may need more information about. What causes bleeding in the 2nd trimester pregnancy? Vaginal bleeding is common at all stages of pregnancy. Spotting and very small amounts of blood may be harmless, but there are certain types of bleeding that you should not ignore.

Causes of bleeding in 2nd trimester include:

Inflammation of the cervix (neck of the womb).

Vaginal infections (including. sexually transmitted infections -STIs).

Cervical erosion.

Growths on the cervix polyp.

Disruption of blood vessels in the womb lining.

Miscarriage, however, this is not always inevitable.

Bleeding in the 2nd trimester may also be a sign of problems requiring further tests. We advise that you

always seek further medical advice if your symptoms increase or do not resolve. Sometimes we see an obvious reason for your bleeding, for example when we examine you, however sometimes we cannot identify any obvious causes.

Similarly, we cannot predict whether your bleeding will resolve, how long this may take or whether it will

happen again. Our staff will try to give you the best information available at the time. TIG 67/18 Updated: June 2018 Review: Date June 2020 Page 2 of 3 www.mft.nhs.uk

When should I return again?

Always seek medical advice if you experience any of the following: Bleeding heavy enough to soak a feminine pad in an hour. Strong stomach cramps/abdominal pains or back pain.

Passing clots or clumps of tissue.

Feeling any vaginal pressure.

Your bleeding has an offensive odour.

Feeling dizzy or unwell.

Our Emergency Gynaecology Unit is open 24 hours every day. Our contact number is at the end of this leaflet. You will always be assessed by either a doctor or a specialist emergency gynaecology nurse. Depending on your history, symptoms and severity, most women would require an internal examination and assessment of the pregnancy by listening to the babAn ultrasound scan would only be organised if your symptoms are clinically indicated.

What should I do over the next few days?

Admission to hospital is not always necessary for bleeding in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy. Women

are often advised to take bed rest while bleeding; however this seems to make little difference to the

final outcome. You should resume your daily activities but avoid over exertion or doing anything too

strenuous. If you wish, you may return to work once you feel happy to do so. You are able to take a bath providing it is not too hot, as this may make you feel dizzy. Until the bleeding stops, we recommend that you use sanitary towels rather than tampons. Although there is no evidence to suggest that having sexual intercourse while you are bleeding increases the risk of

miscarriage, it is advisable however to avoid it as a precaution. It is safe to resume sexual intercourse

once the bleeding has stopped and at all other times during pregnancy.

Blood Group

ood group categories: A, B, AB or O. We also have a rhesus factor positive or negative. Women who are rhesus negative and have experienced bleeding in their 2nd trimester of pregnancy need to have their blood group checked. If you are found to be rhesus negative, an injection of a medication called Anti-D immunoglobulin is recommended. This helps prevent the development of antibodies that may be harmful in future pregnancies.

Anti D needs to be administered within 72 hours of the initial bleeding event. It can sometimes take a

while to be processed, especially if you have not had a recent blood sample sent to the laboratory. If

this is the case, a blood sample will be taken. You will be allowed home and will be contacted by a member of staff from the unit to return once the Anti-D is available. TIG 67/18 Updated: June 2018 Review: Date June 2020 Page 3 of 3 www.mft.nhs.uk
