First Trimester Bleeding

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.

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.

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 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 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.
