Bleeding During Pregnancy
It can be frightening if you experience vaginal bleeding during pregnancy. According to ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists), around 15-25% of pregnant women experience vaginal bleeding during early pregnancy.
However, blood loss in early pregnancy doesn’t always mean you could be experiencing a miscarriage.

Does vaginal bleeding during pregnancy always mean a miscarriage?
No, vaginal bleeding during pregnancy doesn’t automatically mean you’ll experience a miscarriage.
According to a study, around 25% of participants reported vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, and 8% of women reported heavy bleeding.
Most incidences occurred between week five of pregnancy and week eight of pregnancy.
In most cases, the blood loss lasted no more than three days.
Of the women who experienced bleeding during pregnancy, 12% had a miscarriage, compared with 13% of women who did not bleed.
While most women will have one incidence of bleeding, a small number of women will bleed throughout their pregnancy. It can take the form of spotting, streaking, or period-like blood loss, with or without clots.

7 causes of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy
Below are seven of the most common causes for vaginal bleeding during pregnancy.
As you will see, it’s not always sinister. It’s also possible to experience mild cramping or stretching sensations during a healthy pregnancy.
But no matter if it’s early pregnancy or late in pregnancy, if you’re experiencing vaginal bleeding accompanied by strong cramping, speak to your doctor or midwife as soon as possible.
#1: Implantation Bleeding or Streaking
When a fertilised egg attaches to the uterine lining, it can result in light spotting or streaking (streaks of blood). Usually it lasts only a day or two and occurs around the time of implantation or when your period would have been due. Some women mistakenly think they have simply had a light period and don’t realise they are pregnant.
Find out everything you need to know about implantation bleeding.
#2: Breakthrough Bleeding
Some women experience what is known as ‘breakthrough bleeding’, during the times when a period would have normally been due. Therefore bleeding would appear at around 4, 8 and 12 weeks of pregnancy. It’s often accompanied by the feeling you would normally associate with your period being imminent, i.e. backache, cramps, a heavy sensation in the pelvis, feeling bloated and ‘off’.
Of course, because you are actually pregnant, your period doesn’t arrive (even though you feel like it will).
During pregnancy, hormones prevent your period from occurring. Sometimes, if the hormone levels are not yet high enough to stop your period, the result is breakthrough bleeding. It can last for about three months; after this time the placenta begins to take over hormone production from the ovaries.
Some women experience breakthrough bleeding throughout the pregnancy, and under the close watch of their carer, have healthy babies.
#3: Threatened or Actual Miscarriage
Studies indicate that around one third of pregnancies end in miscarriage.
That sounds like a huge number, but don’t despair. It refers to the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and includes very early miscarriages which occur before a woman even realises she is pregnant. A miscarriage of this kind is often a result of a damaged fetus; it means a woman’s body is rejecting a pregnancy that’s unable to survive its complications. Find out more in our article about early miscarriage signs and symptoms.
During an ultrasound, if a heartbeat is seen, you can rest assured that 90% of women at this stage will not miscarry.
Once you have reached the 14-16 week mark, you can be fairly sure your pregnancy is safe.
Common signs of miscarriage include vaginal bleeding (most common), cramping, backache and stomach pains. Women commonly say that they no longer ‘feel pregnant’ when they have miscarried and are bleeding. If you are bleeding and feel this way, then chances are you have lost the baby. If you’re bleeding but still feel pregnant, the chances are very good that the bleeding is just a scare and your baby is fine. An ultrasound will usually be reassuringly normal.
#4: Bleeding After Sex
Bleeding after sex is one of the most common causes of bleeding during pregnancy. It’s completely harmless and is caused by increased blood supply and softening of the cervix.
Although this form of bleeding is not serious, you should always report it to your carer. When you phone the maternity ward, be prepared for the very personal question, “Have you recently had sex?”
You don’t need to stop having sex, but you might need to reassure your partner that he hasn’t hurt the baby, who is safely protected in your uterus, well above the vagina.
Find out everything you need to know about Bleeding After Sex During Pregnancy.
#5: Ectopic Pregnancy
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when your fertilised egg implants itself outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube. You might experience severe pain down one side of your abdomen, or generalised pain which doubles you over, and you might feel faint and nauseous. The pain can disappear suddenly if the tube ruptures but it will return within hours or days and you will feel really unwell.
This is an emergency situation. An ectopic pregnancy can rupture the fallopian tube and cause internal bleeding, damage to the tube and maternal collapse. Your fallopian tube might have to be removed, along with the pregnancy, but it does not mean you will have trouble conceiving in future, provided your other ovary and fallopian tube are healthy.
For more information, read our article on Ectopic Pregnancy.
#6: Bleeding From The Placenta
Painless vaginal bleeding can result from an abnormally placed placenta. It’s not uncommon to have a low-lying placenta in early pregnancy. More often than not, late in the third trimester, the placenta would have moved out of the way as the uterus grew upwards. In a small amount of cases, the placenta does have some problems, often causing vaginal bleeding.
Below are three different placental issues which can result in vaginal bleeding.
Placenta previa
Placenta previa occurs in about 0.5% of pregnancies. This occurs when the placenta implants itself partially or fully over the cervix.
Placenta previa will inevitably result in vaginal bleeding at some point in your pregnancy – usually after the 20 week mark. There are differing degrees of severity, but they all require repeat ultrasounds for an accurate diagnosis. To prevent risk to your baby, the condition might require bed rest, an induction or c-section if the placenta remains over the cervix in the remaining weeks of pregnancy.
Find out more about placenta previa
Placental abruption
Another cause of vaginal bleeding later in pregnancy is placental abruption, where the placenta partially or completely separates from the wall of the uterus. It occurs in approximately 1 in 200 (0.005%) pregnancies. Symptoms include generalised severe pain and heavy bleeding. The blood might be visible or concealed in the uterus, which will be tense, tight, hard to the touch and very painful.
If you smoke, or have high blood pressure, kidney problems or pre-eclampsia, you are more at risk. The condition requires urgent admission to hospital, and depending on the severity of the bleeding, you might be prescribed bed rest, an induction or a c-section.
Placenta accreta
Especially if you’ve had a previous c-section or other procedures in your uterus, vaginal bleeding may be caused by placenta accreta. Rates of placenta accreta are on the increase, as c-section rates around the world are significantly increasing.
Find out more about placenta accreta.
#7: Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are masses of compacted muscle and fibrous tissue, which can be found inside or outside the uterine wall. They can be either problematic or unproblematic during pregnancy – it mainly depends on the location of the fibroids and if they grow or not. Experts aren’t sure why, but pregnancy hormones can cause fibroids to either shrink or grow.
Fibroids are best removed prior to a pregnancy, because worst case, they can cause ectopic pregnancy, heavy bleeding and pregnancy loss. However, many women are able to give birth without any problems too.
If you have uterine fibroids, it’s important to see a specialist to manage your individual case and suggest what to do next. Avoid cures found on the internet – you really need to see a specialist to receive a proper assessment of the situation.

How much bleeding during pregnancy is normal?
If you’re bleeding during pregnancy, you might be wondering exactly how much vaginal bleeding is normal.
Vaginal blood loss in any trimester can be a sign of problems or complications, so it’s important to report any bleeding to your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
Yes, first trimester spotting or light bleeding is common, and many women do go on to have healthy pregnancies. But common does not mean normal – you won’t know that until you see your healthcare provider.
Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy in the second and third trimesters are not normal. Any vaginal blood loss in the second and third trimesters should be treated seriously – seek medical advice immediately.
When should I worry about bleeding during pregnancy?
Firstly, all and any vaginal bleeding during pregnancy should be reported to your doctor or midwife. This not only ensures you and your baby’s health are being monitored, but it will give you peace of mind.
If you’re experiencing period-like blood loss or if you’re in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
You especially need to see a doctor or midwife within 72 hours of any bleeding if you have a rhesus negative blood group (e.g. O- or A-).
The reason for this is to check whether your baby’s blood may have mixed with yours. If the blood has been mixed, and your baby is rhesus positive (e.g. O+ or A+) your body will see this as foreign matter and produce antibodies. In future, these antibodies will attack a baby with positive blood, if you have any subsequent pregnancies.
Find out more in our article about rhesus negative blood groups during pregnancy for more information.
Heavy bleeding during pregnancy
If your vaginal bleeding is heavy (i.e. flowing out and you are passing clots) and if it’s accompanied by stomach cramps, backache and period-like pain, contact your hospital immediately.
Quite understandably you will be upset, but try to remain as calm as you can, and remind yourself that bleeding can occur during pregnancy.
Remember, it is your blood, not the baby’s blood you’re seeing, and it’s quite possible to continue with a healthy pregnancy.
What should I do if I’m bleeding during pregnancy?
If you’re in your second or third trimester, seek medical advice immediately.
In order to avoid any infections, do not use tampons if you experience bleeding during pregnancy; always use pads. If the bleeding is light and you have no pain, contact your midwife or obstetrician to discuss the next step.
Once you’ve been checked by a medical professional, you could seek out an experienced acupuncturist who is a specialist in fertility or pre-natal care. There are some points that can be treated to help you with vaginal bleeding. Acupuncturists work with patients who have had recurrent or threatened miscarriage so it might be worth a try. It’s a safe, natural and healthy option.
What if i’m experiencing a miscarriage?
If you’re experiencing a miscarriage, unfortunately nothing can prevent it from occurring. Although a miscarriage can be disappointing, upsetting and emotionally painful, there’s nothing you can do but take care of yourself emotionally and physically.
You are not responsible for a miscarriage happening, and you have not done anything to cause it. You cannot prevent a miscarriage from occurring, but there are things that will help you to feel more physically comfortable.
- Bedrest
- Paracetamol/Panadeine/Naprogesic (a drug designed for period pain) for the cramps
- Hot water bottle for your tummy
- Tea and support from your partner
You might pass the developing fetus and other tissue, then the bleeding will then stop. But if you continue to bleed, you will need an anaesthetic and a curette to ‘clean out’ your uterus.

Q: How can you prevent having a very light line on your pregnancy test kit?
A: When you see a very light line as a pregnancy test result, you may feel confused as to what this means. In order to prevent a very light line and get an accurate result, use a pregnancy test kit which is capable of detecting hCG in a low amounts.
Q: How do you ensure you have a boy?
A: There are no natural ways to ensure you have a boy. But what you can do is have intercourse a day before ovulation is due (a fertility tracking app can be very helpful). Also, when you have intercourse, be sure to adopt a position that allows for deep penetration, such as doggy style or straddling.
Q: When do babies start speaking?
A: Babies start speaking when they’re at least 11 months old. The popular first words for babies are ‘mama’ and ‘dada’. Although they can have other first words as well, if they hear a specific word often.
Q: What is the best tea to drink during pregnancy?
A: When it comes to the best tea to drink during pregnancy, a raspberry leaf tea is a winner! Raspberry leaf tea is caffeine-free and is high in iron, magnesium, and calcium. It also prepares the uterus for childbirth when consumed in the last trimester.
Hi Christina I’m 6 weeks 5 days and I’m having the exact same problem, it only seems to be when I go to the toilet and wipe it’s either light pink or brown, one day there’s nothing the next it’s there. I’ve had a previous miscarriage and a few months after I fell pregnant with my son who’s now 19 months I can’t remeber spotting when I was pregnant with him so it’s very scary. I have basically been told to wait and see by my midwife.
I hear that sometimes we have twins and one baby doesn’t make it, so it passes through with blood clots.
Yes I had experienced dark discharge with some slight back pain around 8-10 weeks and I called the doctors office. They told me it’s normal but later found out that I suffered from what is known as a missed miscarriage. I didn’t find out till my routine three month check up that the baby had no heartbeat. Please don’t be nervous. Everyone is different. Looking at the date, I hope yours wasn’t the case. I am currently pregnant again and at 11 weeks. Didn’t experience any of that yet.
I’m 8weeks pregnant and also spot brown but only when I wipe! Its been going on for 3days and today at work (I walk all day) I wiped and it was bright red I drank more water (about 6 water bottles) and it was back to light vary vague brown . I went to the doctors and did an ultrasound and saw the baby’s heart beat and everything seems to be normal! She just said its normal dark blood means old blood! But I don’t think its normal ….if I’m laying down I don’t bleed but when I walk and move around it starts again!
Hi Jay,
I have same symptoms as you. How did you go? Were you pregnant? I feel like I am pregnant. Tests say negative though. I had normal periods I started trying to conceive. When I’m due I get brownish spotting for few days then later heavy bleeding with clots.
Thanks. This is really helpful for me and my wife.
Hi Chidaqueen,
Could you say what happened?
My situation is exactly as yours.
Thanks dear. So reassuring. Am currently 14weeks and 4d today. Had a very propose vaginal bleed at 12weeks and 3d. I could have sworn i miscarried but my husband encouraged me not to strain while i was sitting in the toilet. Scan showed a kicking, virtually dancing little us. Itz been 2 weeks on and am still having brownish discharge enough to use sanitary pads twice daily for. Repeated Scan early this week and baby is still fine, shut tight cervix with no localized source of bleed. This is my third pregnancy with the previous 2 lost at 25 weeks. I am on bed rest, tocolytics and hydroxyprogesterone. Still waiting for the bleeding to stop so i can have a cervical cerclage placed. In all, no cramps of any sort and cant wait to begin experiencing those memorable foetal kick.
Thank you for supportive and clear information about bleeding. I am 6 1/2 weeks pregnant with my second and currently bleeding. I found this site like a big hug from an empathetic and knowledgeable friend. It calmed my fears and focused my energy. Thank you.
Hi I m in 5weeks 5 days….but I started spotting light brown blood but later it was darker nd now sometimes red…..Its been 3 days with no cramps…and I was admitted immediately at hospital . …had blood test nd sonography…they can see only sac as it was early…nd my hcg level dropped a bit but again checked my hcg aftr 2 days it increased ..doctor said we hav to clean it if ur hcg level decreases.but it increased so I was asked to go home nd be in bed rest….need to have another blood test within 2 days….praying to god that my hcg level shld hav increased.Nd there should heartbeat in ultrasound…bcz its my first pregnancy…fingers crossed….
How did you make out? I am 9.5 weeks and have heavy-ish red bleeding but no pain. Hopefully will have a scan tomorrow but freaking out now.
I’m 5 weeks now. Been having brownish spotting for 7 full days. My gynae gave me antibiotics. The spotting hasn’t stopped. I noticed that it happens when I’m having some sort of activity. When I’m resting,it doesn’t happen much. The doctor says it’s common and it won’t harm the baby. The only panic would have been if there were blood clots.
Help everyone. Am having the same problem am bleeding every time after making love.
Hi if possible can you please give an update on your situation
I have a history of ectopic and now pregnant
Kind of of having similar symptoms but my numbers are doubling so doctor has me wait
I’m sporting and all that

Hi
Can you please follow up on the progress of your situation, I have something very silimar gapping to me now, and I had a topic pregnancy 2 years ago, one tube removed and endometriosis taking care of as well.
I’m sporting all kinds of red tones – mostly brownish but sometimes red, pink too. I noticed when I’m more active I bleed even more. I feel bloated and feels like about to get period by not exactly in pain just uncomfortable.
My numbers are doubling but still spotting
I’m about 4-5 weeks I think
Thank you
We in the same boat but mine were very dark solid lines,after having sex with hubby I started bleeding,crossing my fingers that will survive this pregnancy. Gud luck to u too
Alina, I had the same thing happen to me yesterday! First ultrasound with a healthy heartbeat and then lots of bleeding about 12 hours later. Is your pregnancy still healthy?
How did your situation turn out? I had a vaginal ultrasound at 6 weeks. A few hours later I had staining, and 12 hours later I had bright red bleeding, which is still happening 3 days later. I feel fine, I made an appt for a week from now. My OB’s office seems unconcerned.
Hi Rita, i have the same problem, bleeding for 7 days now, no pain, 5 weeks pregnancy. Went to Early pregnancy last week, they did not see baby heartbeat yet as too early, but going tomorrow for second scan. Not sure what they are going to see as the bleeding worries me. Please let me know how are you now?
Hi Louise! How are you doing? Your situation is a little similar to mine…I’ve been lightly bleeding for 3 days,waiting for second ultrasound but I have lost all symptoms. I hate this waiting game
Have you been to the ER? My second miscarriage started with unbearable pain and back pain. Go get checked
I had the same exact issues at 5 weeks. It seems that my bleeding would only come when I’m moving around. It’s not constant either. Like every other hour. I don’t know what’s going on. I have an doctor app tomorrow to check HCG LEVELS again. They were high when i went to ER yesterday.
Hi boil 8 walnut shells take the tea made from the shells and blend it with the walnuts then drink it. It’s an old remedy used in Mexico not sure if it works or not but it’s not going to hurt you Or baby to try it’s natural. My aunt that used to suffer miscarriages swears by it after an older woman told her about it.
Hi I am having the exact same as you. Heavy bleeding but not like a full period. And my breast are no longer sore or heavy. Was everything okay with you?

Hey sweety you are experiencing a miscarriage go get medical help. Good luck hun
I am going through the same thing
Please tell me what results you got out of the ultra sound!
I am 6 weeks and have been spotting/ light bleeding for over a week now. This is my third pregnancy and the same thing happened with the others at different points throughout the pregnancy. Having said that, I have 2 beautiful daughters. It never becomes less scary and it’s all I can think about right now.
Candace,
What was your outcome? I’m currently going thru the same thing. I’m worried that I miscarried but wont know till tomorrow when I go for my second ultrasound. I to am 8 weeks started spotting had an ultrasound only saw a sac. Then heavy bleeding for a day .
There are usually free clinics or mobile clinics to do a pregnancy test and ultrasound. You can google it or call 211 for help finding one. If you have low income and end up being pregnanct you will probably qualify for Medicaid to help pay expenses–211 can help you with this as well.
I am having the same problem and I’m six weeks now
I have had the same as you and I saw a doctor he said I have a small hole in my cervix and. A blood clot your body could just be breaking down the clot x
I am having the same exact problem as you! The pain comes and goes it’s not constant! But I start with a small brown discharge then pink blood and then a little darker now back to pink but this has been just been over the period of one day! I’m really scared. I called my doctor he said just monitor it, if it gets worse go to er if no change see me Monday but I am stressing myself out really bad!! Please help!!
You could have a bladder infection or you could have thrush. Please read this article, it will help you with both:

Hi, I had the same. It’s a sub chronic hematoma- normally clears by 12 weeks and the blood is re absorbed by the body. I was put on bed rest for the first few months and given hormone injections to help baby grow past the risky stage. This is something most of Europe does but the UK does not as they do not normally scan so early, therefore would not pick up on the hematoma.
I’m having the same thing happen right now!!!
Im going through the same thing i have all the symptoms and all but im bleeding dark and it has no clots and im not cramping or in terrible pain im not even sure if im pregnant i havent took the test yet but im scared idk if its a
I am having this same problem. Scared to take a test because I do not want to be disappointed. I had all of the symptoms of being pregnant and then started bleeding Monday at what the doctors would say is 4wks. It lasted for 3 days and today it is only present when I wipe (just a light pink, barely there). I still feel pregnant, breast are still sore, still urinating more, have a slight pain, every once in a while on the right side in the abdominal area, and still getting light-headed. Not sure what is going on.
I went to the ER because I had light bleeding but unbearable cramping pain like if they were contractions . They gave me an ultrasound but couldn’t see anything yet doctor said the baby maybe to small to see yet.he also checked my cervix and said it was closed which is a good sign . The only answer the could give me was I was too early in the pregnancy or I had a miscarriage . I have to go back to the doctor in 2 days
Brown discharge is old blood. Your body is just getting rid of it. Ifs nothing to worry about
Hi I am also 5 weeks pregnant but started bleeding yesturday (Wednesday) it was brown the pink too red and has been a steady amount so far ( not enough to fill a sanitary towel) and is still the same today. I went to the doctors and they said to just wait and see what happens either way. As you can imagine I’m anxious but in no pain other than lower back pain which iv had so far anyways. I took four positive tests on Sunday two of which were clear blue and said 1-2 no if I wait and take another one on Sunday and it says 2-3 would that be a good sign that my levels are going up and everything’s ok?
I am in a similar situation. 9.5 weeks and bleeding every time I use the bathroom, but nothing in between. Accompanied by some light cramping. I have a call in to my Dr, but she is on call today. Waiting is killing me! What is your blood type? Have you had your initial appointment already? If so, what were the results so far? This will be my third baby.
Is everything ok with the pregnancy? I’m also 10 weeks and 3days and I have been spotting for 3 days now called my doctor and she said to rest but wondering if you pregnancy is ok?
But im 6weeks pregnant.and I just down pee and seing some blood! I was used tisue and its look like brown blood! I dont know what is goin on!!
Right now I am 5 weeks with light spotting I had an U/S and they said it was too early to really say yes or no and my hcg was 256
Probably but if she is experiencing cramps or lower stomach pain that could mean miscarriage. It could also be the egg attaching to the uterus. That happened to me with my first. If she has miscarried there isn’t anything you can do to stop it. Just hold her hand and let her know your there for her. Good luck.
That’s not always true, my ob told me some cramping is normal
I agree with Jennifer .. cramping is normal Throughout your whole pregnancy. I am in my 5th pregnancy and cramped with all.
As far as bleeding from sex: this is completely normal. Tears can be made to the vaginal wall that you cant see and all of your tissue is soft bc of the pregnancy so its more possible.
It been three moths bleeding haveay blood but lasted for 2-3 days after mising my perio. I want a serious help on whats going on.
If it is dark brown then its usually old blood.
Yes, I have experienced the same, mine had stopped recently for two to three days now . I have a dating scan tomorrow. Heaps of rest seemed to help me as every time I got up and did something it would start again.
Hi sapphire seems we kind of have the same problem with the moving around and all and relief with yours?
Hi I was trying to write my own thread.. so I am now 9 weeks pregnant . I have had complications all ready. Since I found out was pregnant 4 weeks ago so 5 weeks pregnant I have been bleeding everyday all most. Some cloty, some dark brown and some bright. It is realli confusing. I had a scan 7+2 saw fetus and heart beat. And today I got another as still bleeding and in pain . But if it is fine why am I bleeding so much. I have endometriosis could that be the cause? I don’t know if this pregnancy and s the right thing atm as it’s causing me discomfort some days can’t sit down. And other days being sick 3 am . I have 2 children all ready and I didn’t experience anything like this before. I have had miscarriage before its similar but not the same . So confused 🙂
Hello Becky, I had my own experience this week with bleeding that resulted in a miscarriage. It started with a dark brown spot. I called my gynecologist and she says spotting is normal. The next day it became a light pink color and i had to wear a pantyliner. the third day it became darker and more like a period and I put on a pad. By the fifth day I was wearing two pads and passing hugh clots. i called back my gynecologist and she told me to go to the emergency room. When i got out my car i felt a hugh gush and I ask to use the restroom. I found a hugh clot on my pad and i flushed it and clean up myself as i had blood running down my leg. I did a vaginal ultrasound. When the doctor came in to see me, he told me I had a miscarriage. I was seven weeks pregnant. I had three previous pregnancy and never had this experience, so seek a doctor as soon as the bleeding starts. Don’t wait.
I am not sure about this I have had pinkish/ brownish spotting for 3 days lilight bleeding when I wipe but it feel like it’s gushing and its not no pain though and passed a clot everyone said its normal so far I says it’s normal I did this in the begining with my first pregnancy did years ago

They said it could be early cause my bff is 160 so I am def pregnant. I get more blood done Mon to see us it has risen. 3 more days of waiting, bleeding & worrying. I already think I’m misscarryin cause I have twice b4 but like I said it’s bad but not as bad as the others. So confused!

Well I have the same problem I was told I was pregnant by my doctor but its like every time I move around I bleed and when I’m laying down I’m fine…I wanna know is this normal as well..
I just found out I’m pregnant and I feel like my period is coming and I had brown spotting. I called in my gyno and he said as long as it’s light brown and not a continous flow, I shouldn’t worry. I still worry. My second daughter I bled for 3 weeks and continued to having a healthy baby. Unfortunately, under 6 weeks they can’t do a vaginal ultrasound.
I had bleeding for 9 weeks in my pregnancy and sadly delivered my son at 19+2 2 weeks ago 🙁
I’m five weeks+ and it’s happening the same with me if I keep resting I’m all fine but as soon as I start working I will have pink discharge in wiping off.
My dating scan is scheduled on next week I hope everything is well.
Hello did they ever figure out why you had to bleeding did your pregnancy turn out okay I’m experienced that now every time I get up I start to bleed but no cramping not in any pain at all
