Cervical ectropion (cervical erosion) occurs when the soft cells that line the inside of the cervical canal spread to the outer surface of your cervix.These cells are redder and are more sensitive than the cells typically on the outside, which is why they may cause symptoms like bleeding and discharge.Cervial ectropion can be caused by hormonal changes, pregnancy and being on the pill. During pregnancy it usually resolves on its own but since it can sometimes cause bleeding, it is advisable to seek advice from your midwife or maternity triage department to rule out any other cause for the bleeding.
Early pregnancy comes with a range of physical symptoms and mixed emotions (feelings), some of which may begin before you have a positive pregnancy test.These include:
sore (sensitive), heavy breasts
nausea or vomiting
tiredness or sleeplessness
needing to pass urine more often
light spotting or bleeding, sometimes accompanied by mild stomach cramps
a feeling of stretching and pulling in the tummy (abdomen) and back and at the tops of your legs
backache
feeling bloated with excess gas (wind)
diarrhoea or constipation
headaches
dizziness or feeling lightheaded
Emotionally you may experience mood swings or feel tearful and become easily irritated. These are all normal responses as your body adapts to increasing levels of pregnancy hormones. These symptoms usually disappear as pregnancy progresses. If they don’t it is very important to tell your midwife or doctor.
