I'm 36 weeks pregnant and had some bleeding 2 days ago. No pain or anything only some amount of bleeding which is mostly dark brown but also dark red. Went to hospital where scan and nst was done. everything was fine with the baby and nothing showed on scan too. Cervix is closed. baby heartbeat is also fine. Vaginal swabs for infection also came out negative. Then after an internal exam my gynae confirmed that i'm having a cervical polyp that is causing bleeding. She says bleeding might continue to some extent but if it increases she might pluck it off. I want to know if my bleeding will stop or it will stay till delivery? Though it is not much but it makes me get really worried. And is it really necessary to pluck it off at this time?

Hello lybrate-user. Please don't worry. A bleeding polyp has to be removed. Your gynaecologist is right, removal will be needed eventually. It may bleed slightly, but it is harmless for baby and you. Keep in touch with your gynaec and inform her of you bleed again.

Bleeding will stop in a day or two, provided polyp is not touched. Avoid sex during your pregnancy. This may cause bleeding. If bleeding persists, then it needs to be plucked at this stage of pregnancy.
