[P607]Pregnancy Complications First Trimester
by Davis, Dav
Placental Abruption

Placental Abruption is a problem, which occurs when the uterus wall prematurely detaches the placenta. This problem usually occurs in women who suffer from high blood pressure. The placenta at this point can slacken off completely.

Bacterial Vaginosis

Bacterial Vaginosis is one of the most common complications. Almost 30% of the pregnant women suffer from it, at some point or the other. This problem occurs due to an abnormal imbalance in the woman's vaginal bacteria. It is said to affect women through intercourse. However, there might be other reasons also.  Bacterial Vaginosis can lead to a premature labor. Apart from that, it can also lead to miscarriages, rupture of membranes, and the like.

Ectopic Pregnancy:

is a one of the most dangerous pregnancy complications, which happens when an egg attaches itself in an area other than the uterus. Most of the ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tube. This is a very problematic form of fertility and is common in women who get pregnant at a later age, have had an ectopic pregnancy before, or have had numerous abortions.  An ectopic infertility has only one solution and that is abortion. If not detected on time it can lead to the death of the mother and the child.

Cholestasis of pregnancy

Cholestasis is a disease of the liver, which occurs only during pregnancy. The most common symptom of this disease is excessive itching. Cholestasis is a pregnancy complication that affects the flow of the bile. The flow is either completely or partially stopped, which leads to the production of bile acids inside the liver, that get spilled in the blood stream. Cholestasis can lead to premature birth and fetal distress.

Vaginal Bleeding:

Vaginal bleeding is very common in pregnant women in the first trimester of their getting pregnant, and it is not an issue. The problem becomes serious if the bleeding does not stop even in the second and the third trimester. Vaginal bleeding could indicate many serious conditions such as a miss carriage, molar or ectopic pregnancy, and the like.

Cervical Incompetence:

When the cerclage is incompetent in a woman then it may open up too early leading to a premature birth of the baby. According to the doctors, pregnant women who required a cerclage in one pregnancy will definitely require it again if they get pregnant in the future.

Remember, if you feel that you are suffering from any of the above then make sure you contact a gynecologist immediately. A symptom that may seem minute may be an indication of a graver issue. If you want to know more about this subject, visit .

It is common knowledge that women above the age of 30 face more complications than pregnant women younger to them. While it is not easy to conceive after the age of 30, women in this age group should not be disheartened. After the age of 30, correct advice from a good doctor can really lift your spirits.

The 40-Week Pregnancy Period

It takes approximately 40 weeks for a healthy pregnancy to reach full term. Pregnancy ends and birth begins when the membranes of the sac holding the developed fetus and the amniotic fluid ruptures and the vagina contracts in readiness to push the fetus out of the body.

Many women who have crossed the age of 30 deliver before the stipulated 40-week term and give birth to premature babies. Such babies are at a risk of having underdeveloped organs and are susceptible to life threatening infections.

Planning Your Pregnancy Post 30

Consulting a good doctor is the first step one must take while planning pregnancy post 30. Fertility treatment taken under the doctor guidance is the best bet for women above 30, suffering from fertility problems. It is widely acknowledged that unmonitored intake of fertility drugs can cause multiple births and further pregnancy complications; especially in cases of the first pregnancy. So do as your doc says!

The next step to ensure a healthy pregnancy after 30 is to change your lifestyle. Post 30, pregnant women have to eat meals with the right mix of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, rich proteins, and low fat. Consulting a dietitian to draw up a healthy diet plan is a good idea. They will have to avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks. Also mild to moderate exercise will have to be included in the daily routine.

Intake of medication such as Folic acids, Vitamin C tablets, iron tablets, etc., should be taken after consultation with doctor. These can go a long way in helping you to prevent possible pregnancy complications.

Pregnancy is a beautiful experience and one should enjoy the nine months towards motherhood. Keep a pregnancy journal and read pregnancy books to monitor pregnancy week by week development. Enjoy your pregnancy!
