Information from Your Family Doctor: Bleeding in Early Pregnancy: What Does It Mean?

摘要

An ectopic pregnancy is when the fetus grows outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes. Other causes of early pregnancy bleeding include infections, hemorrhoids (HEM-roids; swollen veins in your rectum or anus), cervical cancer, and rare pregnancy-related cancers. Taking a prenatal vitamin with folic acid before you get pregnant can lower the risk of brain and spinal cord problems in your baby.
