Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Get checked: Any bleeding during pregnancy needs to be evaluated promptly by your doctor. About 50% of women experience some degree of bleeding in early pregnancy making it very common but not normal. Most are fine but sometimes bleeding can indicate a serious problem. Get checked.
