Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy should
be taken seriously because of possible
miscarriage. Vaginal bleeding doesn’t
always mean miscarriage. About 20% of all
pregnant women experience bleeding during
their first trimester of pregnancy; only
half of them will miscarry. If the embryo
is alive you have a 90% chance of keeping
the pregnancy. You can proceed to your
gynecologist to request an ultrasound
confirmation of the fetus' health.
