Would a blood clot during labor be cause for concern? after my water broke at 29 weeks i began to cramp. upon checking me the doctor discovered a blood clot about the size of 1/2 dollar. would this be cause for concern or would it be ok to continue to lab

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bleeding : Bleeding during pregnancy must be taken seriously. Sometimes women pass "bloody show" which can occur when labor starts. Usually if a woman goes into labor at 29 weeks, there are efforts made to stop labor, because the fetus is not fully developed, but many issues go into this decision, including the condition of the mother, the condition of the fetus, whether medications (steroids) have been administered so that the baby's lungs can develop, the fetal heart tracing, and many other issues.
