bleeding while pregnant

[ Original Post ]
I just found out last week that I am 7 weeks pregnant with my 3 child. A couple of days ago I started spotting/bleeding it alternates from heavy to light. I called my MD and they said if it is a miscarriage I just need to wait it out until I stop. I am going crazy but I have not felt any abdominal cramps just an occasional low back ache. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.

There is nothing that you can do about this, except try and relax. Bleeding in first trimester is normal - some even get thier period in the first 3 months. As long as you don't have any cramps you have nothing to worry about. Just try to take it as easy as you can and put your feet up and rest as much as you can. If you start getting cramps you should call the doctor go just go to the hospital for them to have you checked out. But until you get those cramps don't worry about a thing ;o) You will be in my thoughts.

I am having the same type of bleeding. I am 6 1/2 weeks pregnant. I go see the doctor tomorrow. This will be my first baby. So I understand you feeling alarmed because I am too.

I'm slightly in the same situation. I'm not sure if I'm pregnant but I think I am. I have had mild cramps for 10 days but not the kind associated with a misscarriage. Also, I bled a few drops today. But it's very light. Could I still be pregnant?

In answer to my own question-I had an ectopic prenancy which ruptured on Saturday afternoon.I was cramping really bad so my husband took me to the emergency room and then surgery. they ended up taking some of my fallopian tube. they were all really nice but now i am living with the after math. I just tell myself things could've been alot worse.

I am 5 1/2 weeks preggo and started bleeding brownish reddish yesterday and it hasn't stoped since. This is my second child and I didn't bleed at all with my first that's why I'm freekin'..... They gave me an ultrasound today but it's way to early in the pregnancy to see anything but the sac (tiny black dot) so I have to have blood work to tomorrow to check my hormones. This is crazy....... I wish they could just tell me everything is fine already!! Does anyone know how long this is suppose to last???Thanks

i'm 15 weeks preggo and a couple of weeks ago my boyfriend and i were having sex and i started to bleed, it was the first time that i've bled since i was pregnant so i called nurses at hospitals and they told me that the head of his penis just irritated my cervix.

Thank God that I am not the only one! We just found out that I am 5 weks pregnant, my first, and then i started bleeding, light spotting. I go see the doctor on Wednesday, but after reading some information on the web most of my fears have been eased. As well, I have not had any cramps so this is what is important! Good luck and e-mail me if you wanna talk..mcriscenzo@yahoo.ca

I am reading everyone's response to the bleeding question and now am quite concerned. I am 5 weeks pregnant and yesterday developed very bad cramps and bleeding my OB says it appears to be a miscarriage and I should go home and wait it out. So I come home and there is no more bleeding, Just the brownish stuff that is obviously old blood. I still ache in my lower abdomen and back but have to wonder what's going on? Anyone have any ideas please...

I am so scared. I am 6 weeks pregnant. I have had occasional mild cramps since last week. They are really not too painful, just irritating. Then last night I bled a little, then again this morning a little more. It's not much but I am very worried

Hi Ladies!! I didn't realize there were so many problems untill I came across this site...although I think this site is VERY helpful & useful!!! OK here's my situation.....I think I am about 5 weeks preg....not sure, just going on what I'm feeling & what I think.....but I started my period Jan. 30, right on time?!? But still....very light period, hardly any cramps at all, did not have any pms, b*tching..etc...etc...the 1st day of my period was a darker red color, then it stopped & came back way later that night. It's now day 3 & it's almost gone!! My period is normaly 4-5 days. But whats making me think I'm preg is, for the past 3 weeks or so my stomach has started to feel different, like harder mainly around the belly button area, certian food smells are starting to bother me, like meat cooking for one. I'm peeing more offten too, but everything else is normal (bm). I don't know what to do....my stomach is getting harder more & more every day!!! I was preg 8 years ago...got my period the night I concevied (like 4-5 hours after). When I was only 4 months, I looked like I was about 8 months!!! Can anybody explain this?? Had same experience or close to it? Sorry this is sooo long =)

It is know to bleed when you are pregnant.I am 5 weeks pregnant and I am going through a hole bunch of blood work because I bleed for 2 days light and heavy at first and did not have any symptoms of miscarriage.So if you are really concerned ask your MD to get some test done.Good Luck 

Name: TaraM | Date: Feb 3rd, 2005 8:30 PM
Please don't thing negative it only affects you and your baby. Think positive some women have their actual period the whole 9 months. And I also know a friend who spotted 6mnths out of the 9. But whatever you do don't stress. This is the most impotant time for you and your baby Im sure you"ll be just fine. And keep me posted .So please tell me you will not worry.

I never went to the doctors to get a pregnancy test but i have taken a couple of home e.p.t pregnancy tests and the + sign was very faint i am confused if im pregnant or not and i am bleeding heavy and i was just bleeding 19 days ago....i didnt start to bleed unitl after i had sex with my boyfriend this weekend but it hasnt stopped yet...its been 2 days now i wonder if i should just wait it out and go to the doctors when im done bleeding...could i actually be pregnant though? 

Name: DESIRE | Date: Feb 8th, 2005 1:03 AM
Becky, I am going thru THE SAME EXACT thing your going thru. I just had sex with my boyfriend tonite, and I started bleeding light pinkish color type of blood. So I am nervous to think what it might be? A miscarriage? or something else..

This is my 2nd and I will be 12 weeks tomorrow. I have had what I call pink mucus only when I wipe. I have had no cramps or spotting or bleeding. Nothing comes out, it is only there when I wipe and never on a consistant basis. I haven't been able to hear the heartbeat yet, but I am going for my 1st sonogram of Friday. I already have a little belly. Could someone please tell me if they have had anything like this and help to rest my mind. I seem to be more nervous than excited about the sonogram.

How soon did the feeling of having to pee constantly start for any of you because about a month ago i had a feeling like there was a lot of pressure on my bladder and that i had to pee like constantly it only lasted for a few days there was a strange feeling when i pee'd almost like a burning sensation but not really any pain can anyone relate and if so then was it because of pregnancy?  

Name: LESSLIE | Date: Feb 11th, 2005 7:36 PM
I STARTED BLEEDING ALSO, I AM 7 WEEKS PREGNANT AND SOO WORRIED ABOUT HAVING A MISSCARIIAGE, THIS WILL BE MY SECOND CHILD AND HOPEFULLY IT'S ALL JUST A NIGHTMARE FOR US AND OUR BABY'S TURN OUT FINE. LIKE YOU, I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE AND IF A MISSCARIAGE IS GOING TO OCCURE THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING. HOPE EVERYTHING TURNS OUT O.K. FOR YOU AND YOUR BABY, BEST OF LUCK

I found out i was pregnant with a home pregnancy test. [4 weeks pregnant.] I started bleeding lightly on thursday. It got heavier and I went to see my midwife. She looked at the bleeding and said I wasn't hemmoraging. I have had cramps and passed a few small blood clots. I am trying to accept this and not let myself feel it emotionally. Is there ANY chance i could be pregnant? Would the baby be okay if I am? Please write to me. This is my second planned pregnancy, and I am just heart broken. Also, they took a blood sample from my arm to check for the pregnancy horomone. It was only 12. i will go back on monday to see if it s going up or down. Right now i don't know exactly what's happening and its only saturday. Someone to talk to about this would be a blessing.

Hi, I'm in the same situation, but I have had cramps since before I found out I was pregnant. Now I am 6 weeks. I had a very light brown discharge and then it went red for a bit. Now it is back to brownish mucus but only when I wipe...I don't want to go to the docs coz I am afraid they will tell me to wait it out. What are the chances that I am losing my baby? 

Name: Marie | Date: Feb 14th, 2005 4:00 AM
I can't believe how many people are in the same situation as me, and how many people have spoken to doctors/midwifes etc and have still come away not knowing what is going to happen to their baby!!
I am 51/2 weeks pregnant and i started to bleed on friday, that evening i went to a&e and i had blood tests, scans the lot then was sent home now i don't know what is going to happen? am i loosing my baby or is it just embedding loss or something just as normal in early pregnancy. i have looked on the internet and their are so many reasons why you can bleed, if you have no pains in your tummy, the tip if your shoulder, or pain when going to the toilet, i really don't think that there is any immedate danger. good luck to everyone

I AM NOT SURE HOW FAR ALONG I AM I HAD HEAVY TO LIGHT BLEEDING YESTERDAY AND WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND HAD A EARLY U/S ALTHOUGH THEY COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING I WOULD RECOMEND THAT BECAUSE YOU COULD BE HAVING A EPTOPIC PREGNANCTY 

Name: annmaire | Date: Feb 15th, 2005 9:32 AM
to all the ladies who have had some spoting i can totally understand when i was seven weeks pregant i started to spot only when i wiped and it was dark red to brownnish iwas so worried this was my 3 baby and i never had this befor.i went to my doc and she said if it is dark brownish it was old blood and i had nothing to worry about as long as i had no cramps. i went home and it happened on and off for 2 weeks i was so scared but my doc also said that if i was experiencing my morning sickness as well as long as i still felt sick i was fine so i keeped that in mind im now 12 weeks and no spoting it was hard to wait it out but only god knows whats going on so put your trust in him.

I thought i was 81/2 weeks pregnant last wed. when i went to see the nurse at the obgyn given her the date of my last period thats what how she calculated how far along i was. The whole weekend i had been bleeding light to heavy with some clotting. On Monday i went to see the doctor and she gave me a vaginal sonogram and told me that it looked like i was 5 weeks preg. but she could not detect a heartbeat. I hope i'm not going to miscarry. I'm scheduled for another sonogram on Wed. hopefully we will see a heartbeat. This is my 2nd pregnancy

hello i also thought i was going to br about eight weeks and on the sonagram it only showed five so i am confused also the baby had not heart beat but she said it is not normal not to see a heart beat this early because it is so small i would not worry if your hormon level is high 

Name: to GINA | Date: Feb 16th, 2005 8:16 PM
i am so sorry about your ectopic pregnancy! i bet that was an awful experience. every woman, i am sure has fears about that early in their pregnancy so i am sure everyones heart goes out to you. hang in there ... things will get better and the day will come when your holding a brand new baby in your arms (again, or for the first time?) 

Name: to gina | Date: Feb 16th, 2005 10:46 PM
i am sorry to hear about your eptopic it is so sad i have never had one but i had a friend who had one and now she has a two wonderful children so know that you can still have more children if you so chose
good luck i hope you are feeling better
