A member asked:
Is bleeding during early pregnancy common?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Bleeding from implantation, sensitive cervix, and from beneath the placenta are common causes. Of course, some bleeding is a sign of more ominous things like miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, so a thorough evaluation is indicated, especially for persistent and/or measurable bleeding.

Common but...: While common to have some spotting, it could signal a more serious issue. Be sure to schedule prenatal care right away.
