Hmm if you start bleeding it could be a sign of miscarriage or it could also be normal. Whens ur next doc appt? Dont have sex for a little while till you talk to your doc, and if the bleeding increases or you feel sharp pains, go to the hospital immediately!

My doctor appointment aint for another 3 weeks,... This was my first time haven sex since I found out I was pregnant,.... I had an ultrasound done yesturday and they said everything looked great and the heart beat was at 150. I wasnt bleeding heavy or anything jus a tiny bit of pink, light pink on the tissue,...But it stoped after a few min. I read that it can be normal becuz of the cervix being softer,....But id rather hear from sumone who accually might kno a thing about it,..Since not everything online u read is always accurate.

If its light pink and its not there anymore thats prolly normal. Its only if u get pains and heavy bleeding that u should go in! So im sure ur fine!

I had a m/c in second trimester.. Its hard but I read 60% of miscarriaes arent genetic and its usually just a fertilization problem. Im sure u dont have to worry this time! Did they sya anything about the heartbeat? Once they hear the heartbeat, ur chances of miscarrying are only 20%

Yea,..I misscarried at about 12 and a half weeks last time. But no all she said was the heartbeat was normal an it was at 150. I asked her what the chances of misscarriage an she said she didnt kno that she was only doin the ultrasound (my doctor wasnt available) also,..The reason I had an ultrasound was cuz I thought I was spotting an I had light cramps which my doctor said was normal but he had me go in for an ultrasound jus incase.

Well its good that everythings okay! After I got pregnant after my m/c, I was so worried about losing the baby all thru my pregnancy.. Like either mscarriage, still birth or preterm labour.. But everything turned out just fine!
