Answer 1

Ok I am 22 weeks into my third pregnancy and I had spotting/bleeding with all three of my pregnancies and obviously all of my children are fine. I think the main thing they tell you to watch for is heavy or bright red bleeding or if you are having bad cramps. Some cramping is normal especially if you've been pregnant before it's just your uterus and your muscles stretching. I hate when people make you way more scared saying that you are going to miscarry and it's not normal blah blah when the reality is that there are a lot of women who experience some bleeding or spotting.

I know with my first daughter, they told me I had a bacterial infection but it was never explained with either of my other children. I do have a very sensitive cervix and when you are pregnant you have way more blood down there, that's how you get the blue/purple cervix that they usually check to determine eary pregnancy. I found that I bled easily after sex, after orgasm, after a bowel movement, or sometimes just for a couple of days. It never got heavy and I didn't have any serious cramps. I would say talk to your doctor about it and that if you have any heavy cramping or bleeding you should probebly see a doctor but in the mean time relax try not to worry (I know from experience easier said than done) and good luck!

Oh! one more thing the thing that used to bother me the most was every time I'd go to the bathroom (which was 100+ times just to see if it was still going on) I'd be driving myself crazy so I found using a pad or a tampon to see just how much blood there was (hardly any) was a relief in a way you could see it wasn't anything serious.

I have had 2 miscarriages and both had the light spotting you are talking about,and every time I miscarried the bleeding would stop and go and a few days later i would miscarry.But If you ARE going to miscarry there is NOTHING the emergency room can do for you,I have been there and for the first time I went and they gave me a shot and told me i needed to go get a d&c but I refused to have it done And it turned out I did not need anything done at all.The second miscarriage I did on my own at home,It is much more comfortable for me to have one at home.And we are fine we got pregnant the month after the 2nd miscarriage big surprise.Good luck and if you do miscarry I would just make a doctors appointment once you feel up to it to make sure your hormone levels are going down like they should.Good luck I know how you feel

Stress is not related to miscarriage. Most miscarriages occur because the baby is not growing normally. If you are experiencing a threatened miscarriage, you will not be able to stop it. However, many women experience some spotting, pain, and slight cramping early in their pregnancies and carry their babies to term. It sounds as if you are bringing a baby into your life under less than ideal circumstances. Ideally, babies should be conceived when a husband and wife are stable in their own relationship, financially secure, and able to put their own needs aside for the good of their family. You may be wise to return to your mother's home if she is willing to accept you there. For the health of your baby and you it is important to get plenty of rest, drink water, and eat healthy plus see a health care provider for prenatal care. If this baby was an attempt to bring you and your boyfriend closer, it rarely works that way. I know too many single moms with the baby's daddy no longer in their lives.

Answer 4

I had some spotting with this pregnancy. It doesn't always mean you're miscarrying. That was at 7 wks and now I'm 38 wks. However, call your doctor and let him/her know what's going on. More than likely they schedule a blood test to test your Hcg levels. As long as they're increasing, you should be ok. Just try to find a way to relax and stay calm. Good luck!

Answer 5

My advice for you would be to go to the ER, it's probably nothing serious (same thing happened to me when I was 7 weeks, now I'm 9 and didn't miscarry), but it's better to see a doctor. You also need to take it easy and take good care of you and your baby. Stress is not a good thing when you're pregnant, but it's probably not the cause of your spotting.

Answer 6

Calm down first, take a warm bath , couple tylenol and put your feet up. Light spotting is normal in the first trimester. If your blood increases to more than a Teaspoon see a doctor. Ignore your bf for now and take care of you and your child. Everything seems much worse when your newly pregnant. Maybe seeing mom for awhile isnt a bad idea, just to put things into perpective... Good Luck

Answer 7

Slight spotting at this stage can be implantation bleeding, very common and nothing to worry about. Its very normal to experience discomfort like a mild period pain also, this is due to the womb enlarging even at this early stage. Relax as much as possible.

Answer 8

i was 10 1/2 weeks when i miscarried in July of this year... i to was under a Lotta stress... go to the er to make sure that you're not having a miscarriage... you may be threatening one but to be on the safe side seek help....

Answer 9

go to the er sweetie, it's better to know what going on. I've experienced this both ways. twice i had misscariages that started that way, but with my last pregnancy I had bleeding that I thought was my period and everything turned out fine.
i hope everything is ok.

Go to the doc's right away. Bleeding at 5 weeks is NOT normal. Stress can cause this yes and can also cause miscarrages. Please go to the Dc's
