Most likely what you are seeing is what they call "implantation bleeding". It is very common and usually of no cause for concern. I'm an ultrasound tech and hardly a day goes by that I don't scan women in the emergency room having exactly what you describe. 99% of the time everything is perfectly normal. You can do one of two things. Go to the doctor for a sonogram to reassure yourself that the baby is fine, or you can wait a bit to see if the bleeding gets worse or stops altogether. There is probably no harm in waiting a bit. Some women think if they run to the emergency room when there is bleeding we can stop a miscarriage. That is not true. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to stop a miscarriage. However, if you are having pain on one side of your pelvis that keeps getting worse, you could have a tubal, or ectopic, pregnancy. This is not all that common, so don't panic, but it is serious, so if you have pain, by all means, have it checked out. For peace of mind, go see your doctor. But if you are not having pain and prefer to wait, keep an eye on the bleeding. If you start passing large clots, or have severe cramping with the bleeding, you may be miscarrying, although I've had patients with rather heavy bleeding who go on to have a perfectly normal pregnancy. It's always best to seek the advice of a professional if you want to know for sure what is going on. We are living in a great time when a 10 minute exam may be able to put your mind to rest. I wish you all the best!
