A member asked:

I'm 10 weeks pregnant and i've been lightly spotting off and on for the past three days. my next doctors appointment is august 30, should i go to the er ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Minor bleeding/spotting is not uncommon in early pregnancy. If it more than spotting, especially if there is blood red discharge then you should go to the ER. Wish you good health and a healthy baby.

Why does the risk of ectopic pregnancy increase with age? Is it because the other risk factors compound or is age alone a factor? Im 38yo and 4w5d pregnant with my first. First doctors appointment is at 8w and Im concerned about my risk.
