bleeding

[pebble646]

hello everyone, im new to forums and new to pregnancy. I am 10wks pregnant. Yesterday when i went to the toilet i noticed pink/red on the paper. I went to the e.r. and had an ultra sound and they said heartbeat was ok but to have bed rest and to go back if the bleeding got heavier like a period. I am now having cramps in my stomach like period pains. but no more bleeding. is this normal or should i go back to the e.r. I´m worried.
thankyou for any info xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi there.

I have had light spotting and cramping on and off up until last week - which was week 10.  I have had 3 US's and been checked with the doppler and baby is still doing well.  Please try not to worry about it too much and just mention it to your health care provider next week.  I know its so hard to enjoy being pregnant when you have a reminder that something might be wrong.  

Now that i've been a week without spotting or cramping im starting to feel more confident with things, but it sure is scary.

Wishing you all the best!

I agree with Shayne.  If the spotting has stopped that is a good sign.  I've had pain off and on now this whole first tri-mester and so far everything is good.  I just chalk it up to my body starting to stretch out.

But if it's really intense and not letting up, then best to give your doctor a call.

How intense are the cramps? it is perfectly normal to have light-medium cramps in first trimester because your uterus and ligaments are preparing and stretching to carry a baby. If the cramps are severe then i woudl go
