Answer 1

ANY bleeding during pregnancy is NOT normal!
(unless you are in the delivery room)
I would call your doctor first thing--even if it were implantation bleeding-you would have had that by well before now.

please call your doctor none of us here know your history, only your doctor can help you

Answer 2

You should go to the er or to the doctor in the morning because that is sounding like a miscarriage.
Sorry but you need to see a doctor.
Symptoms of a Miscarriage


Reasons for a miscarriage:

Early miscarriages in the first trimester are very common. If you've had a miscarriage don't get discouraged! Try again; the vast majority of woman will have a successful pregnancy later on. For those of you who have had multiple miscarriages it would be wise to consult a Reproductive Endocronolist.



Miscarriages result for many reasons. Some of those reasons are:



- Sperm or egg could have been deformed or not matured enough.

- The lining of your uterus wasn't the right environment.

- You suffer from fibroid tumors or endometriosis.

- The sac and/or yoke may not develop right.

- Injury to the stomach area

- Hormone Imbalances

- Low Progesterone

- Freight



There are a lot of possibilities out there but try not to dwell on what "might" have happened. Sometimes things are meant to be. If you are one of those who have had a miscarriage I offer my condolence. I too have experienced such a pain.





Symptoms:



Now we all know that no two people are the same. We all experience different symptoms with pregnancy. Below I listed a few symptoms of miscarriage. If you've gone through such an ordeal please feel free to post your symptoms on our forum. You will find the forum topic here: Conception Forum



Now some say that they don't even know they had one because it was so early and felt like a normal period. Others can tell the difference. Here are a few and still adding…



- Sever sharp uterine cramps (stronger than menses cramps)

- Heavy Red bleeding along with pink stretchy tissue (NOT cervical mucus)

- Cervix pain (pulsing and aching pain with a few sharp pains)

- Sever headaches (migraine types) *Also due to other issues

- Nausea *Also due to pregnancy or bad food

- Pregnancy symptoms (i.e. Brest tenderness, nausea) will start to fade.



Having these symptoms doesn't mean it is 100% positive you miscarried. If you think or assume you are pregnant take a pregnancy test. If it is too early to test but you are having abdominal cramps with no bleeding to spotting it could be a sign of implantation. Don't take every symptom to heart. If you are pregnant and do experience one of the first three symptoms please go see your doctor to run a quantitative test. They will test to make sure your pregnancy is doing well and will let you know if there are any problems.

I totally understand your confusion. I got a positive blood test and was spotting at first but then it got a little heavier, the unusual thing was that it wasn't as heavy as when I get my period and I didn't feel any pain. I was being optimistic about it since one of my cousins bled excessively during the first two months of her last pregnancy and the baby came out fine. My bleeding would come and go for about a week. My Dr. sent me to get a blood test to see if the pregnancy hormone level had doubled as it should. The results unfortunately showed that the numbers had decreased which indicated a miscarriage. The best thing to do in order for you to get peace of mind would be to get a blood test to determine the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels which again should double every 72 hours. For more information check out americanpregnancy.org. Think positive and best of luck to you, your family and your unborn baby. God bless.

Answer 4

Have you seen the doctor yet since the test three weeks ago? You really would need to go see the doctor to know for sure, or take another pregnancy test. It is possible to have a period every month while pregnant. I had a friend who it happened to. Usually bleeding is for negative reasons, but you really should not wait. Call your doctor immediately. Good Luck!!

Answer 5

Bleeding is actually very common in pregnancy, and doctors don't usually know why it occurs. Some women actually get periods throughout pregnancy. Since you had no other symptoms of anything, it is probably nothing to worry about but you should call your doctor just in case!

Answer 6

The same thing happened to me!

Some times women will have bleeding when they first get pregnant as the placenta is attaching itself to the uterus lining.

You still need to go and see your ob/gyn and have an ultrasound to be sure.

Answer 7

Every child come differently ,you can be pregnant and have your period ...but in case of bleeding even without pain you should go ahead in see your doctor ... you don't want to say "if i knew" i am sure .
Take care!

Answer 8

lots of women still get periods while pregnant, but... I personally wouldn't take any chances with an unborn child, see your doctor, just to be safe! Good luck dear!

Answer 9

u mean u r married woman right? so no need to worry about that coz u are married. as a married woman sometimes we r encountered that kind of situation.so u must be happy that u r have another child. and i suggest it u must go to OB GYNE to be clear and check it out that u r pregnant.so good luck and congratulation.

Answer 10

Each pregnancy is going to be different, no matter what so it was probably nothing to worry about, but to be on safe side... have a docter give you a full explanation.
