Bleeding and cramping/first trimester

Hello everyone! I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I have been bleeding and cramping off and on! Especially after physical activity..My obgyn checked the baby and my pregnancy hormone numbers have doubled so the pregnancy is progressing but the bleeding scares me! Anybody else experience similar? Ideas?

How long ago did your obg checked you?? Cramping is normal but bleeding is not. You should get your levels checked again especially since you are experiencing bleeding not to scare you but even if the hormones have doubled is not a guarantee that everything is ok until you get to 12 weeks is when the high risk of miscarriage lowers and even then anything can happen.. if i were you i would just go to the ER and get checked again anyways good luck

It could be from where the baby latched on.. Depending on what color the blood is can tell you different things.. I had blood but it was dark.. The hospital said it was old blood that had probably been stored on accident.. Something I have never ever heard of.. When it was light light red I rushed back to the hospital and they said it was where I was pushing too hard to poop.. And my cramping was growing pains and not drinking enough water.. Lol.. I really hope all is well.. Don't forget to call your obgyn
