What to do about uterine bleeding after pregnancy

After pregnancy, uterine bleeding should be treated as early as possible; receiving appropriate treatment based on specific conditions contributes to better health outcomes. In most cases, this is considered a threatened miscarriage, which can have two possible outcomes: either the pregnancy continues, or miscarriage becomes unavoidable. If blood tests show normal levels of HCG and progesterone, and fetal heartbeat is visible on ultrasound, the pregnancy usually can continue following supportive care. However, if HCG and progesterone levels continue to decline and bleeding progressively increases, miscarriage will likely be inevitable.
