Threatned miscarriage

Last night me and the hubby had sex and I started bleeding but with no cramps or any pain. Went to the ER and they said it was a threatened miscarriage. They did an ultrasound and we heard the baby's heartbeat. The doctor said that the baby's heartbeat was over a 100 but should have been around 150. The ultrasound also show that I was 6 weeks and 3 days instead of 7 weeks. So far the bleeding has stopped so I am praying the baby will be okay. Has anyone else had this problem?

I was not spotting but I was not bleeding heavy either. I stopped bleeding by the time I got to the er and was only seeing blood when wiping but there we a couple of tissue clots, but they were little. I am scheduled to see the Dr on January 7th but I am going to try to go in earlier to make sure the baby is okay. Thanks mommies for making me feel better.

I had a threatened miscarriage around that time too. And when I was 6 weeks 4 days the heartbeat was 123 which they said was perfectly normal. I'm 18 weeks now and its up to 162 so nothing to worry about.

The reason you bleed after intercourse is because when you are pregnant your cervix is a very vascular area, there is a lot of blood going thru and around it. When u have sex he can bump the cervix causing you to bleed. Not really a big deal.

I bleed every time after having sex with my hubby, and thats been from day one when I got pregnant. I'm currently today 24 weeks exactly any I still bleed but no cramps or lots of blood it like spotting throughout the day. Its because the cervix gets irritated more easy since us pregnant women has more blood flow down there. I hope baby will be ok, but it sounds like baby is doing ok, this is my 4th baby and all my kids were 2 days off but they were perfect. Good luck hun I will keep you and baby in my prayers!

I bled twice with this pregnancy and ER doc told me I was loosing my baby and sent me home. My doc done an ultrasound a found I had a subchorionic hemorrhage. The second time around I had lost a ton of blood and so that er doc called my OB in. Said it was likely I was miscarrying but he didn't want to send me home (he actually had some common sense) so they admitted me and once again it was just that hemorrhage.

ER docs aren't specialists, and they are trained to rule out diagnosis' not make one. So basically they work backwards. They start with multiple issues, mark off the ones that don't fit, and because they aren't bright enough to know a lot of things then anytime you have spotting or bleeding during pregnancy they call it a threatened miscarriage.

I wouldnt worry about it. With my first I bleed twice, once at 8 weeks and again at 11 weeks. Both happened after sex. And my son was born healthy and is now 7 months old. I didn't change anything either. I still had sex and I didn't "take it easy." I had an easy pregnancy the rest of the time. They term any bleeding that occurs as a threatened miscarriage. I think the term itself is what's scary. So I wouldn't worry about it! It's common to bleed after sex at the beginning of pregnant.

I'm sorry but ER doctors don't seem to know ANYTHING when it comes to pregnancy.  I'm sure your baby is fine. Bleeding after sex is VERY common. Plus you are not cramping or in pain so I think all is probably ok. As far as you measuring a few days behind it isn't too much of a big deal. I'm assuming your 7 weeks going by your last period? Sometimes the day of conception throws that off.  Honestly I would just take it easy, relax, refrain from sex for a while and stop worrying.  Easier said than done I know, but worrying will only make things worse. Good luck.
