Heavy Bleeding

I am 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant and for the last week I have been having extremely heavy bleeding off and on. When I lay down the bleeding stops but when I walk, even just to the bathroom, the bleeding begins again. I have gone to the ER twice and the first time they checked me for a tubal pregnancy and said everything looked good and my cervix was closed. The second time my HCG had more than tripled in two days and my cervix was still closed. Does anybody know what the bleeding could be from? I had a miscarriage in February and I am worried that it is going to happen again.

I had that at 7 weeks 5 days. It turned out to be a subcorionic hemorrhage. That's when the fetus is partially detached from the uterine wall. Usually they don't cause any problems and resolve by themselves by 20 weeks or earlier.

I started bleeding when I was around 12 weeks and they think it was from a uti .. So u should def check and see if u have any infections bc that could b a reason why ur bleeding.. It's such a scary feeling though.. The day I started bleeding I was freaking out in the emergency room and I just remember the nurse coming in to try and find the heart beat it took her a good half hour but as soon as I heard my baby's heartbeat I just started crying I was so happy bc I was bleeding so heavy n it was dark red and it wouldn't stop.. But you should def get checked for a uti or any other infections.. I wish u the best Hun and I'm sure your lil baby will b just fine.. Just try not to stress or get too upset bc that could make the situation worse good luck love!! :)
