You could be having a miscarriage, but not necessarily. Some bleeding in pregnancy can be quite normal. I had some bleeding at 6 weeks which turned out to be a subchorionic bleed---where the placenta detaches a little from the uterine wall and causes bleeding. In almost every case, it grows back down firmly and no harm done at all to baby. (that baby is now 10 months) :)

And there are other causes for bleeding too. You should see your Dr. to try to determine what it is.

I will tell you though, that my nurse said if you WERE going to miscarry, the cramping would most likely start within 24 hours of the bleeding. So the fact that youre not cramping is good. Best of luck to you!

To: bleeding 7weeks
I am 7weeks

And this is my 1st pregnancy that ive had bleeding,

Also light and manly when i wipe after the loo,

I have been bleeding for 5days now

Ive had u/s on the 12st july, will have another on the 4th august,

My babies heat beat was fine 116bpm

And my hgc is rising at 3320

Im scared to death of M/C

But ive looked a lot up a ppl say this is normal

My doctor thinks it could be as the lady said above a hemerage

Or maybe something called vanishing twin, as in my u/s there where two sac's one with fetus and 1 full of blood,

I don't know how to advice you,  but i would say get it checked any bleeding shld be reported to dr

And get him to check your levels both HGC & PROGESTERONE

Check the progesterone b/c levels can drop and that may cause M/C

And hgc levels will continue to rise if there is still a pregnancy,

I don't want to scare you but better safe then sorry i think

I wish you all the luck let me know what happens

This as i know is a very scary time, but may just be something simple, as i hope to in my case...

god bless
