I had light bleeding/spotting in the beginning with both of my daughters and everything was fine. I've also had a miscarriage and the bleeding was heavy with cramps. If its just spotting you are probably ok but should definitely let your doctor know.

I had bleeding from week seven till week nine, I had a vagina scan and found I had a hemorrhage at the base of my womb, you must see a doctor so that they can arrange a scan unfortunately its the only way to truly know, fingers crossed x x

My girlfriend and I are having unprotected sex. Shes expecting her period, first week of the month. Its been more than 2 weeks now and still no period. We had sex few days ago and there was blood. After the intercourse there was no blood in her urine. The following day we had sex again, there was a trace of blood but not as much as the first. Is she pregnant? Implantation bleeding? Miscarriage? Can anyone help me?? I forgot to add. After we saw blood she was complaining about slight pain in there, im not sure if its cramps or what. But after lying down for a few minutes everything was all good. After that no pain at all.

Hi, i was 12 + 4 and had a severe bleed while in town shopping. Everything is fine with baby, just me that nearly had a heart attack. I am now 16 weeks and all is well. Brown spotting is not as bad as it is old blood, and not too much to worry about ( still check with doc though) spotting fresh blood early in preg can be implanting, so try not to worry ( check with doc though too ) if you bleed so much fresh blood it soaks a pad, go straight to hospital though. With me it turned out to be placenta previa ( placenta in wrong place, mines over cervix)  take care :-)
