Blood loss in early pregnancy

Losing a little blood during the first few weeks of pregnancy is not uncommon, but what should you do?

  • First of all, make an appointment with your doctor. It may be nothing, but we prefer to be sure.
  • One of the most common causes is the attachment of the egg to the lining of the uterus, which is often thought to be the return of the period.
  • Your vagina and cervix are a little more irritable than usual. This is normal.
  • Hormones can cause bleeding.
  • More rarely, the expulsion of a twin egg.

Unfortunately, in some cases, miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy can occur, which is why it is essential to seek medical attention in all cases!

Has anyone had a small blood clot early in pregnancy? I’m 11 weeks and noticed a small blood clot after using the restroom. No bleeding just one small clot. Not sure if I need to call my dr or not.

I had blood clots when I was pregnant but had been told three different complications I was having to be safe it be best to go see a Dr because blood clots are not normal while pregnant.

At the hospital right now the nurse said it sounds like I could be in early pregnancy so she took a blood sample she also did a normal blood test to make sure everything is good and also tested me for the flu and covid so hopefully it's just pregnancy and flu lol I don't want covid

Yaaaay I hope it is pregnancy 🙌🏾 and you right about that pregnancy and covid is not a good mix at all. I hated that I had covid for the first time while pregnant worse thing ever.

Can early pregnancy cause blood shot and gooey eyes? I’m about 7 weeks. Unsure if it something related or not.

I've never heard of it causing that but that doesn't mean it couldn't! Do you have bad allergies right now? I'd maybe get it seen about in case it's an infection or something!

If you haven’t spotted or bled at all I would suggest going to the doctor just to be safe. It wouldn’t hurt to check .

I “bleed” 2 days before I was due for my period. It was more from wiping but I never spotted. I am pretty regular. So when my period didn’t come, I took a test and I’m 4.6 wks. I’m still pretty early on but only time I bled. Doctor said it was implantation bleeding.

I hate the cramps in early pregnancy. I’m constantly thinking there’s going to be blood to follow and I’m losing my baby 😭 praying that this is a sticky healthy baby.

I mean I figured as such but I still worry. I know once I have my first ultrasound to make sure baby is ok I think I’ll calm down some. I just don’t want to go through another loss

Blood clots spotting looks like a period but went to obgyn yesterday she said looks like a early miscarriage or early pregnancy during my ultrasound im 6 weeks pregnant today that's if im still pregnant not for sure now but I don't have symptoms of pregnancy as much as I did last week when I found out I was pregnant :( she said bloodwork will tell me more if it's early pregnancy or miscarriage so I hope and pray it's early pregnancy. But I'll expect the worst. :( because I'm still bleeding but doesn't fill up pad all the way but i had blood clots. :(, im literally crying.
