A member asked:
Is it bad to use a tampon while bleeding when pregnant at 6 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If unchanged, Yes: If the tampon is left without changing it frequently, bacteria will grow next door to the cervical opening and exposing the pregnancy and you to a systemic infection. A sanitary pad is a better choice.
