I am 6 weeks pregnant adn having severe cramping and bleeding. The symptoms are a little alarming even though my doctor said it's normal when at this time of pregnancy. Ofcourse I am thinking the worst, and I just wanted to know if anyone else kenw anything about this.
thanks, Meghan

From my own personal experience I would advise you to stay calm and take it easy. The more stressed you are the worse it will be for the baby. If you are not comfortable with what the Dr. is telling you then maybe you should get a second opinion, that would calm your nerves some.

I had the same thing happen last april and mine turned out to be miscarriage. I would strongly urge you to get a second opinion and request an ultra sound to make sure everything is ok. There is nothing wrong with being sure. Stress does nothing to help the situation so try and concentrate on something else (if you can) and stay off your feet as much as possible for the time being.

Best of luck!
