INTRODUCTION

CORE DEFINITION

Menstruation during Pregnancy, known in classical Chinese medicine as Ji Jing, describes a pregnancy in which light monthly bleeding continues. It is also called abundant pregnancy or soiled pregnancy. The traditional explanation is that the pregnant woman's qi and blood are strong enough that the surplus overflows rather than being retained for the fetus. Provided there is no abdominal pain or backache, it is not a threatened miscarriage, though it must be distinguished from pathological bleeding.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

- Careful Differentiation: separate benign monthly spotting from threatened miscarriage before treating. - Avoiding Overtreatment: withhold strong intervention when the pattern is harmless and the fetus is developing. - Watching Signs: track pain, backache, and flow volume as the signals that change the assessment.

Anchor fast decisions

The fetus is nourished by retained qi and blood. When supply exceeds demand, the excess has to go somewhere and escapes through the channels, producing cyclical bleeding without disturbing the pregnancy. Because the mechanism is overflow rather than leakage from a failing gestation, the absence of pain and the normal development of the fetus are the decisive indicators.

Glass Walls

Distinct from the 'glass ceiling' (vertical promotion barrier), it refers to women or minority groups being isolated in certain functional departments (e.g., HR, administration), making it difficult to move laterally to core business departments (e.g., sales, R&D), thereby lacking the key experience needed for promotion.

Inertia

Inertia is the natural tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes its velocity to change. It is one of the fundamental principles in classical physics, and is described by Isaac Newton in his first law of motion (also known as The Principle of Inertia). It is one of the primary manifestations of mass, one of the core quantitative properties of physical systems.
