im 7 weeks pregnant and im bleeding.

im 7 weeks pregnant, and i've been bleeding for a week now. its very scary. the day after i started bleeding, i called the doctor and they saw me the same day. when i went, i got my blood taken, i got an u/s and i heard my baby's heartbeat(which is the most amazing sound ever). the doctor also said its normal to bleed lightly. but is it normal to bleed lightly for over a week? my friend is 6 months pregnant now, and she told me when she was two months pregnant she had started bleeding, and it lasted as long as her period should. i dont know. i just want someone to talk to about this, because the wait sucks, and i really dont have anyone to talk to about this. please give me some different advice, something that i havent heard before!

Did the same thing when I was pregnant with my son and also during the early weeks of this pregnancy. Seeing the heartbeat is very reassuring. As long as the blood is not continuous with cramping you should be fine. The worrying stinks but it sounds like you are going to be just fine. Best of luck.

make sure they take hcg levels to make sure they are still rising.  if they rise and not drop, then everything should be fine.  good luck to you:)

I wouldn't worry too much hon. You heard the baby's heartbeat and that's improtant! Some woman can bleed and heavily throughout they're whole entire pregnancy... My best friend is pregnant with #3 and bleeds her whole pregnancy, but she's fine... and has 2 beautiful babies and one on the way again...... Don't worry unless your cramping really bad or the bleeding comes heavier.

i just went to the bathroom, and im bleeding really really light. lighter then i have this whole week. so hopefully its stoppingg.

That is a very good thing!!!!! Like I said it's normal to bleed lightly during pregnancy... It just means your body is changing.... And dont be suprised if when you have sex, you bleed too... Changes in the hormones cause cervix irritation and the cervix will get irritated causing you to bleed....
