Needs evaluation: Bleeding in pregnancy is common but not normal. All bleeding in pregnancy should be evaluated by a doctor. First they need to confirm you have a pregnancy inside the uterus and not an ectopic pregnancy. Then they need to rule out miscarriage. Then they can evaluate for infection, placental problems or other causes.

Get checked: When you bleed during the 1st trimester, we call this a threatened miscarriage . There are several reasons why this can happen and miscarriage results in only half the women who experience this. However, it can be a warning sign of a problem and you should contact your obstetrician or midwife as soon as possible.
