Last Thursday the 24th of January, I went to the doctor and found out that my husband and I are pregnant. They figured me to be about 5 weeks along. We were so excited. But on Sunday the 27th of January I started bleeding. I have had no cramps until today and they were very slight non painful cramps. More pressure than pain. The bleeding isn't like a normal period. It is lighter but still enough to have to wear a pantyliner. It goes back and forth from light pink to normal red. It sometimes has tiny tiny blood clots in it but nothing bigger than the tip of a pencil eraser( actually smaller than that). It worries me. Does this sound like a miscarriage? I have read that it is actually normal, but I am scared. We can't get me on my husbands insurance until February because we missed the 30 day period after we got married in October. We cant afford to go to the doctor without insurance. Does anyone have any advice or can anyone tell me whether or not this sounds like a miscarriage or something normal?

Yes, some women bleed and cramp in pregnancy, it's normal but sometimes it could mean a miscarriage. I'm sorry nobody answered your question sooner. I'm wondering how everything went. Is everything ok?
