Up to 10% of women have vaginal bleeding at some time during their pregnancy, especially in the first 3 months (first trimester). To help prevent a miscarriage or other problems during pregnancy:

* Avoid smoking and using drugs of any kind, including alcohol
* Eat a well-balanced diet
* Get regular medical checkups


Avoid sexual intercourse until you know the cause of the bleeding. Drink only fluids if the bleeding and cramping are severe. If a miscarriage occurs, expect a small amount of vaginal bleeding for up to 10 days. Avoid using tampons for 2 to 4 weeks. Medication is usually not necessary -- don't take any medication without talking to your doctor. And I suggest that you see your gynecologist ASAP.

I will be 6 weeks in 3 days (Christmas day). I have the bleeding you are describing.. like a mild period with some tiny clots. I'm very curious to know what happened with you. I got my blood levels drawn today. I go back on Wednesday to see if my hCG level has doubled. We are not hopeful at this point.

my dear lady. during my first pregnancy, I bled for 3 months streaight until I hit month 4 when it stopped. I saw all kind of bleeding from spotting, to heavy bleeding with a lot of clots to heavy bleeding of very watey blood. when I hit month 4 bleeding stopped, it was like day and night and I never saw any drop of blood after that. I delivered a very healthy beatiful and samrt girl that turned 6 yesterday.
the funny thing I was pregnant 4 moths ago same thing happened but I miscarried in week 9. and now I am pregnant week 5 and I am bleeding a lot and I don't know what to expect. and all my previous ultrasound showed that I am healthy and there is nothing wrong. my fingers I crossed for this pregnancy.

I too am bleeding. I'm at week 5 and it started yesterday with brown blood only on the toilet paper, then stopped after a couple of hours then started again with bright red bleeding and felt like a medium period. Light cramps and all. Now 24 hrs later it's becoming light again. I've had no clots and I've also had 3 blood test with normal HCG levels and an ultrasound with no heart rate but in the uterus. The doc told me normal so far. I do have pain in both ovaries which they can't figure out and 3/4 more fluid in my uterus that they also don't understand. Nothing "normal" so far. Tomorrow I'll go in yet again to find out if this is a miscarriage or nothing at all... any advise would be helpful or verbal support.

Thanks

I was spotting for a couple of days,brownish in color, and only when I wiped.. I had mild, very mild cramps. Then a day or so later, it was as though i started my period for 2 days. Now, a day later, nothing. My hcg was low on Friday, (61). My lmp was july 20, so i should just be around 6 weeks today. My Hcg should be in the 200's. I am having another HCG in the morning. Im not hopeful. But, now that im not hopeful, and pretty much have decided i have miscarried, my breasts are starting to by tender.. I am so confused.. Any one share these sort of symptoms?

i am 8 weeks and i had very slight but bright red spotting last week. the u/s was normal and we heard the heartbeat. Today again when i wiped, there was just a tiny spot of blood. i don't know what to make of it. it's very litle and only once, after that i went again after 30 mins and nothing. both these spottings have happened after sexual activity. so i'm thinking of abstaining still the 2nd trimester.
