Spotting or Bleeding in Pregnancy – When to Get Checked in Lagos
mascothealthcare

Pregnancy is an exciting journey, but it can also come with moments of worry. One of the most concerning symptoms for expectant mothers is spotting or bleeding. While not all bleeding means something serious, it’s always important to get checked to ensure both you and your baby are safe.

At Mascot Healthcare, we understand how worrying this can be. That’s why we offer expert pregnancy scans in Lagos to give you answers and peace of mind.

Causes of Spotting or Bleeding in Pregnancy

Spotting or bleeding can happen at different stages of pregnancy for various reasons:

  • Early Pregnancy (First Trimester) – implantation bleeding, hormonal changes, or in some cases, miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
  • Mid to Late Pregnancy – cervical changes, placenta-related conditions, or preterm labor.
  • After Sexual Intercourse or a Vaginal Exam – mild spotting can occur due to increased blood flow to the cervix.

Why a Pregnancy Scan is Important

A pregnancy ultrasound can help determine:

  • The health and development of your baby
  • The cause of bleeding or spotting
  • The position of your placenta
  • Whether your pregnancy is progressing normally

At Mascot Healthcare, our scans are performed by trained professionals following medical guidelines to ensure you get accurate and timely results.

When to Seek Immediate Medical Help

You should contact a healthcare provider immediately if bleeding is:

  • Heavy (similar to a period or more)
  • Accompanied by severe abdominal pain or cramping
  • Associated with dizziness or fainting
  • In the later stages of pregnancy
