Bleeding & Cramping

[misheeAnne]

I started spotting at 6wks 2 days pregnant. A scan confirmed healthy heart beat. Now 3 days later the bleeding has become more like a period, heavier & red, not brown and I am experiencing cramping.  I have read this can be normal as 40% of woman bleed in the first trimester, but how much bleeding would be considered normal & should it be accompanied by cramping?

please go to doc ASAP and demand an ultra sound to see if baby is in uterus..

the following happened to me same day i posted on here 4 weeks ago.

JAN 2 JUS GONE I WENT TO HOSPITAL OUT OF CURIOSTY TO GET BLOOD TEST AS WE KNEW WE WERE PREGGERS AROUND 7 WEEKS, BUT I HAD BEEN SPOTTING / LIGHT PERIOD...WHICH IS SOOOO NOT NORMAL FOR ME.
BUT "CAN BE NORMAL" IN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS APPARENTLY !

I WENT TO CHECK MY LEVELS AND DOC SENT ME TO GET ULTRA SOUND WHICH IS ON SAME STREET AS HOSPITAL IN BETWEEN HOSPITAL AND ULTRA SOUND PLACE MY LEFT TUBE RUPTURED AND I WAS BLEEDING INTERNALLY FOR OVER AN HOUR.

THE ULTRA SOUND BLOKE DROVE ME BACK TO HOSPITAL WHERE I HAD EMERGENCY SURGERY.

I LOST 2 LITRES OF BLOOD, BUBY AND MY WHOLE LEFT TUBE...AND NEARLLY MY LIFE...ECTOPIC PREGNANCIES CAN BE LIFE THREATING...IWAS VERY VERY LUCKY IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS THERE...

I AM ANEMIC AT THE MINUTE IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER 2 MONTHS FOR MY BODY TO BUILD THE BLOOD BACK THAT I LOST...

JUS MAKES YOU VERY VERY TIRED...

ANYWAYS ITS BEEN 4 WEEKS SINCE IT HAPPENED I STIL HAVE A BLUBBLER HERE AND THERE ...BUT MAJORITY OF THE TIME STAY MY HAPPY SELF !

MY INSIDES HAVE HEALED NOW SORT OF, BUT WILL TAKE AROUND 3 MONTHS ALL UP TO MAKE SURE BODY IS RECOVERED FULLY. MY RIGHT TUBE AND UTERUS ARE FINE THO AND WE CAN STIL TRY IF WE LIKE.

WE WILL DECIDE PROBABLY AROUND APRIL..ISH !

DEPENDS IT IS ALL STIL VERY FRESH IN MY MIND AND SCAREY !!!

ANYWAYZ I DO NOT WANT TO SCARE YOU TO DEATH BUT I DIDNT KNOW A LOT ABOUT ECTOPIC PREGNANCIES ... I JUS THOUGHT I WOULD SIT AT HOME AND WAIT FOR A MISS CARRY...

HOPE THIS HELPS BUT I DO ADVISE ANY PREGNANT WOMEN NOW WHO EVEN GET A SPOT OF BLOOD IN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS TO DEMAND ULTRA SOUND MAKE SURE THAT BABY IS IN UTERUS NOT TUBE..

call your dr right away or go in to emergency

I don't want to scare you, but bleeding accompanied by cramping could be a sign of miscarriage. I think you should call your doctor. It might be nothing, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Take care!
