There is no definitive answer to the question of whether a baby will move more often the day before the mother experiences vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, also known as "seeing red." Every pregnancy is unique, and every baby's movements will vary. However, there are some factors that may contribute to increased fetal activity in the days leading up to seeing red.
One reason a baby may move more frequently before vaginal bleeding is that the baby is preparing for birth. As the baby grows and develops, their movements will become more coordinated and stronger. In the days leading up to labor or delivery, the baby may move more frequently as they get into position for birth. These movements can sometimes cause mild discomfort, but they are generally not harmful to the baby or mother.
Another reason a baby may be more active before seeing red is that the mother is experiencing preterm labor or rupture of membranes. In these cases, the baby may become agitated and move around more frequently due to changes in the amniotic fluid and pressure on the cervix. If the mother suspects she is in preterm labor, she should contact her healthcare provider immediately.
Finally, increased fetal activity before seeing red could simply be a coincidence. Babies are often active at many points throughout the day and night, and it's possible that the increase in activity has nothing to do with the onset of vaginal bleeding.
Overall, while it's possible that a baby may move more frequently the day before vaginal bleeding, it is not a universal experience. Pregnant women should be aware of changes in fetal movement patterns and report any concerns to their healthcare provider. If vaginal bleeding or other abnormal symptoms occur, prompt medical attention is necessary to ensure the health and safety of both mother and baby.
