Question

Bleeding during first trimester. Please help!!

I took a pregnancy test 15 dpo and 16dpo and both were positive. Boobs are getting bigger, plus some more pregnancy symptoms. The first day of my last period was 9-21. Today, I started bleeding. It's not alot but it's not a little either, if that makes any sense. It's bright red. My lower back hurts a little and I have very light cramping in my lower abdomen. I haven't went to the doctor yet, waiting on insurance. I'm so scared of having a miscarriage. This is my 2nd pregnancy but I didn't have this during my first pregnancy. Can some one help me? Has anyone had this before?

Hi there, you probably need to go see your Dr or OB to get checked out. Unfortunately I was 5 weeks pregnant and had similar symptoms. Light bleeding, cramping and back pain and then the bleeding became really heavy. I went to see my Dr and she thought I had probably miscarried. She did bloods test to measure my HCG a week apart and my levels dropped dramatically indicating I had :-(. I have had friends who had light bleeding and cramping and have gone on to have healthy babies though.

I've had cramps through out my entire pregnancy and light bleeding for a day or two! My son was fine but just to make sure,I'd go to the ER.

It's hard to say for sure what's going on, but if you still have your pregnancy symptoms, it's a good sign. I had a bleed when I was 11 weeks along. I felt this sharp pain, and started bleeding. It freaked me out, but ultrasound showed my daughter flopping around all over the place, with a strong heartbeat.

As long as the bleeding isn't super heavy and you're not passing clots, you're probably fine. Bleeding is always scary, but it doesn't necessarily mean you're having a miscarriage. Good luck. Fingers crossed everything works out for you :)
