First Trimester Bleeding

I think this is fairly common, though scary. I had early bleeding with both of my pregnancies and went on to have healthy babies. If things are progressing well on the sonogram you can take a lot of reassurance from that. With my first baby, I bled around 8 weeks and then had a normal sonogram, and they told me that if you have a normal scan at that stage then your chances of your pregnancy going to full term are 98% which is pretty good odds!
I hope it all works out for you.

Hello, T.. I can identify with your current issue. I am going through the same at the moment. In the past few days I have made 2 ER trips and scheduled to see my OB, today. I'm currently 31/2 months pregnant. and I am scared out of my mind. I have two other children,who are girls.And I haven't experienced anything like this before with either pregnancy. I have light spotting and cramping, which sorta feel like Braxton Hicks..Both trips to the ER have yielded no information about my condition except for "threatened abortion" So like you I am searching for an answer. Hopefully, my OB will have a better answer for me, today. I just wanted to let you know what you are not alone. I wish you all the best. Good luck!

I had bleeding in my second trimester, which was so terrifying. The nurse at the ER told me that 50% of pregnant women who have bleeding go on to have a healthy pregnancy. Later I found out that she was "sort of" right. My OB told me that 50% of women who have bleeding in their first trimester will go on to have a healthy pregnancy.

I'm sorry you're having to wait and see. It must be so beyond difficult for you. But there are a ton of success stories- my son was one!

Good luck!

I had bleeding in my last 3 pregnancies. I had low progesterone with them all, but with my son I also had a hematoma behind the placenta. It reabsorbed with bedrest and he was born healthy and safe. Good luck!

I began cramping and bleeding when I was 3 weeks pregnant and it continued well into my 12th week. The doctors did sonos and checked levels on a regular basis and I gave birth to a healthy boy on 1/14/2009. Try to stay calm and follow your doctors advice.

bleeding that early on is fairly common, i had it with 2, one more so, and more memorable, but everything was fine both times. definitely dont give up hope, though i know the waiting is so hard. best of luck, D.
