Where is the line? How much is bleeding and how little is spotting. I am 6 wks pregnant. I started spotting 2 days ago. I was passing clots without heavy bleeding. The bleeding has gotten a little heavier to where I have to ware a pad, but its not filling the pad up. I went to the doctor yesterday and they did an ultrasound. The baby is still there. I haven't heard the heart beat yet. And they said that I was two days off, I should be 6wks 6days but I'm 6wks 4 days. Thats according to my first ultrasound last week and the one they did yesterday. The nurse said that the sac had changed but she didn't know what it was doing, it could be good or bad. I could just be one of the women who has a period during pregnancy because it started at the same time I would have started my period. And when I'm not pregnant I do have clots during my period. They took my blood to check my hcg levels and I won't know anything until tomorrow. Has this ever happened to anyone? What happened?

I have been through something similar, I guess, and I'm sorry to tell you it didn't turn out good. I had bleeding through most of my first pregnancy. My son ended up being born at 24 weeks due to the placenta tearing away from the vaginal wall. Apparently they didn't notice this on any of the sonograms until the day he was born, and I had had several sonograms, and an amniocentesis. I'm not sure if there would have been anything they could have done if they would have caught it early or not. And keep in mind this was 18 years ago, so I'm sure some medical advances have been made. I don't want to worry you either, but I know I would have rather known things like that could happen. I wish you the best of luck dear and I hope everything turns out good for you!

I had something similar to this happen when I was 12 weeks pregnant. I went to the emergency room--eventually they sent me home on bed rest. They told me it was really 50/50 on whether the baby would live or not. It did not. It's one of 3 of my little angels that died this way. Good luck and may God be with you. Remember no matter what happens--it's for a reason. If I hadn't had my last miscarriage, my 18 month old son wouldn't be here.

yes, I had to go and get another ultra sound in a few days and they found the baby had died, I had the option of having a D&C or wait for the miscarriage to happen natural. I hope everything works out for you. Usually a natural miscarriage happens pretty quick meaning the bleeding is really heavy right away.. then the cramping is pretty bad too. But I really wish you the best of luck.

When my mother was pregnant for her first child she had her period for 6 months...to me the only good thing(other than the child) about being pregnant is that you don't get your period. Hang in there life is not always the walk in the park that we want it to be...I will tell you this and 8 months from now I'm sure you will agree...the baby is worth any and all that you will endure through your pregnacy...this is coming from a woman who slipped into a coma the day before giving birth to her son!

yes but i was further along and had a miscarriage...but you could be just having a period, a friend of the family had hers until she was 5 months preg. If there was no real pain with it then it is probably just a period

Guess you'll find out when the doc knows for sure. As long as the baby's fine, don't worry so much.
