Has anyone on here or does anyone know someone else who has experianced bleeding and slight clotting during first trimester pergnancy? If so, was the outcome good? I started spotting thursday night, slighly heavier pink friday morning, nothing until saturday morning and then medium flow since with 2 very small (half the size of my pinkie fingernail) dark red clots last night. Since then it's been medium flow bleeding with absolutely no cramping andthis morning my breasts started leaking. I just went for another hcg test today and I see my doc on thursday. When I saw my doc on friday he said that as long as I didn't have any cramping or pain I was fine. I also went for an ultrasoud that same day while I was already spotting and the tech said everything looked fine. What do you guys think? My first pregnancy was so uneventfull that the thought of miscarriage never even crossed my mind. I am currently 5-6 weeks pregnant. I have been seeing my doc, I'm just looking for educated oppinions.

I spotted the first trimester and I was so worried, but I ended up having a healthy baby girl. My doctor told me to abstain from sex and lay down whenever I had the chance.

My best friend bleed really badly throughout many months in her pregnancy and she had a happy baby boy.
Me on the other hand, I had HEAVY bleeding with clots and no pains and they realized I had placenta previa in my 4th month. Granted I was pregnant with twins and that's an entirely different risk factor. Around the 18th week, my water broke and my boys were not able to survive on their own and we lost them.
I also know of a woman that miscarried with no pain and a minimal amount of blood.
Trust is, you never know what's going to happen. Doctor's claim that spotting is normal buring pregnancy but heavy bleeding, blood clots and pain is NEVER normal.
Please be very aware of your body and if you end up in the ER everyday to check out your baby, then do that.
Good luck and I wish you well.

I would trust your doc and try and stay relaxed. I did have bleeding during my last pregnancy but it was accompanied by cramps. It got worse and I ended up miscarrying. Your hcg test will tell you a lot. Thursday is not that far away. If you start cramping, bleeding heavily with large clots, don't wait, call your doctor and get it checked out.

As long as you are seeing your doctor and he believes everything is ok, I would not be too concerned. It is rare, but very possible, for a woman to still menstruate during pregnancy. As I am sure that your doctor told you, spotting during pregnancy is quite common and is not a reason for alarm unless, as he stated, it is accompanied by cramping. I had some spotting and cramping in my 6th week of pregnancy also, and the drs at the emergency room said that I was dehydrated. Just keep your doctor posted on everything that happens so they can monitor you closely if they need to. Good luck and congratulations!

Your Doctor is the only person that can give you an educated opinion. Anything else is just a guess. Follow his advice to the T, take your vitamins, don't smoke or drink, don't take any medications without a prescription, exercise a little as prescribed and you an your baby will be just fine.

I'm glad you are seeing your doctor. Please keep in frequent contact with him. At your stage in the pregnancy I would assume he is correct in stating that until you start cramping the baby is OK. Cramping would be a sign of contractions and expulsion of the baby. I know it's scary but try not to dwell on it. Just take it easy. No heavy lifting or strenuous exercise. Good luck with the pregnancy and God bless.

Actually your doctor is totally incorrect. I had 3 miscarriages and NEVER had cramping. Unless they were able to see and hear the heartbeat you will have to wait to see what the results of the HCG tests are.
