What's happening?

Question

I found out two days ago that I was pregnant. Today, I have started having cramps and light bleeding. I thought that implantation took place 6-12 days after ovulation. The first day of my last period was Oct. 18. I am past the time of implantation. What's happening?

Answer 1

From my midwife:

Cramping with no bleeding = no problem
Light bleeding with no cramping = no problem
Bleeding AND cramping = Get to the midwife/OB or ER immediately
Bleeding enough to fill a pad/tampon in less than 4 hours, or bleeding for more than 8 hours = Get to the midwife/OB or ER immediately

Answer 2

Go to the hospital. I made the mistake of thinking my bleeding was okay when I could have had a pill early on that would have given me a chance to save my baby. And my own metal well-being. If you are miscarrying there is still a chance but the sooner you get there the better. Some women DO bleed while pregnant right around the time that their period should come.

Answer 3

hmm, keep in mind that most averages are just that, they differ from person to person. i had implantation bleeding when i was 3 weeks preg. If you got a positive on the test, i'd make an appt with your dr to get a blood test to confirm, but the urine tests are usually right. It's rare, but some do get their periods when they're pregnant.

Answer 4

This could be normal--like is it time for your normal period? I spotted and cramped a little the day my period was due, and then it went away. I am 33 weeks pregnant. Call your Dr. if you are truly concerned.

Answer 5

this happened to me with my first baby, you really need to see a doctor, it could be something and nothing but if the bleeding gets any heavier call the doctor right away. I had to rest for a week in bed and everything was o.k. good luck

Answer 6

i admit i don't know, but if you continue to have the same problems then i think you should go see a doctor immediately.
