Wife 16 weeks pregnant. after minimal bleeding, visited dr who did tests, ultrasound, and inspection with everything looking normal. how long before we can feel confident that pregnancy is ok?

You should now: If everything was found to be ok and the baby's heart beat is normal and the ultrasound showed no abnormalities - rest assured!

Pregnancy bleeding: At 16 weeks with everything found to be normal, the risk of a miscarriage is low, but still present. About 5% of pregnancy losses occur in the second trimester. But you are past the point in pregnancy where the majority of miscarriages occur. The news you received from your doctor is re-assuring. Remember, bleeding is not a cause of a miscarriage, it is a symptom that needs evaluation.
