Bleeding at 6 weeks
I began bleeding this morning, after straining as I have diarreha. It is bright red to dark. I have no cramping at this stage. The bleed does not fill a pad, and I only have a small streak of it on the pad. But when I wipe after I urinate, there looks to be alot on the TP. I went to doc, she didn't seem to worried, even after I broke down in her office. I had blood taken to find out my HCG levels. Can anyone give me advice, so I can keep my sanity?
BTW I am 41, I have 4 healthy children, and I never bled in any of my other pregnancies, and I have never had a miscarriage.

Did both of you have bleeding like a period and horrible cramping? I'm 6 weeks also and started this weekend. The pain is horrible.
I had spotting with my current pregnancy. Had never had it before... And it was at about 6 weeks From reading on here and talking to some friends it is not uncommon. You said your dr wasnt concerned which is a good sign.
I'm 15 weeks now and things seem to be progressing just fine. Try not to stress and believe I understand it's easy to say and harder to do Is the dr going to so an ultrasound in the next week or? That's what mine did and everything was fine. I hope things go well for you

One of the things that stood out in your post is that you are straining to go to the bathroom right now. I have to ask...are you certain it's not coming from a hemerraoid or something? I had that as well, and when you find it because you are wiping, it can be hard to tell the difference. I know I panicked once when that happened to me.
If you are certain it's not that, another issue can be that straining created a small blood vessel to rupture on your cervix. Your cervix is super soft right now, and even sex can cause that. Straining certainly can. It's not a big issue and does not harm the baby.
It's good you talked to your Dr. In all honesty, if she is not concerned I would try not to worry. Easier said then done I know...seeing any kind of bleeding can be terrifying. But more often then not all is fine. Take care, and let us know how you are doing.
