A member asked:

30% of pregnant women bleed during the first trimester. how many of those women who bleed will have healthy pregnancy?

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Myths: I don't know where you got that statistic, but it is not true or correct or there is a different definition of what the word 'bleeding' means. Viable pregnancy stops vaginal bleeding. Any bleeding in pregnancy should be considered abnormal. And a reason to be in good contact with your OB.
