Hello everyone.I am in my early 30's.I just found out last Wednesday that i'm pregnant.I was supposed to get my period that Sunday the 4th.I was 2 or 3 days late and didn't think nothing of it,i thought that my cycle was changing cos it does every two months or so,I either start 4 days late or 4 days early.But the strange thing was that i had been expiriencing weird cravings,so i kinda thought to myself "What if I am pregnant?",but i also thought that i couldn't be because i had been trying to get pregnant for the past 6 months or so and nothing!Anyway,i got curious and went to the store and got a preganacy test for maybe 3 dollars,I took it and it quickly came out positive,I made myself believe that they were misleading results,so i went back for a clearblue easy digital one and to my surprise there it goes again POSITIVE results.After i failed to beleive that i couldn't get pregnant cos I had been trying for months,I went to the emergency room where they drew blood from me and did determine Positive results.It took all that for me to finally beleive it!However,that same day I took all those tests I was also spotting like a light brown discharge,I became very concerned about having a miscarriage.I had a miscarriage a year ago so i'm paranoid about this pregnancy.For a whole week now i've been spotting light to very very dark brown almost to the point where it even looks black sometimes,but not enough to fill up a pantyliner.Well I had sex recently and the very next morning i was bleeding very dark red blood with a mixture of dark brown and what appeared to look like black with blood clot.I'm not heavily bleeding or anything like that,but I am very concerned that I will miscarry again! The flow has calmed down dramtically throughout the day I put on a larger size pad just in case I start to heavy bleed but nothing yet.The funny thing is I'm still having extreme breast tenderness,nausea,and I feel tired all the time no matter how much rest and sleep I get! Also I'm not cramping,Not heavy bleeding,I don't feel weak or faint or any of those other symptoms that one gets during a miscarriage.I'm confused and don't know how to feel,what to think or what to do.And i didn't start bleeding heavy until I had sex recently,it wasn't rough sex or anything like that either.I've had 3 healthy full term pregnancies.I waited 11 years to get pregnant and when I did ,I miscarried last year and now I'm pregnant again and I'm afraid the same thing is going to happen again.Should i be worried?Can someone give me advice of any sorts?

Thanks.

I had the same problem with bleeding and has been in the ER twice because of it. Except I'm bleeding again today and I'm not cramping but I've been feeling very weak for the past two days.

But here's a rundown of what the doctor told me. Bleeding is very normal during the first trimester of the pregnancy and unless you're cramping and the flow fills up more than a pad an hour, you shouldn't worry and just let it resolve itself. But if you notice cramping, that's when you should be concerned about a miscarriage. Regardless, any abnormal bleeding during pregnancy will always be treated as an impending miscarriage.

Also, when you become pregnant, the cervix is softer and there is more blood flow in your body making the cervix more sensitive and it's normal if you bleed after sex. It doesn't have to be rough sex. If you're that concerned, make sure you get a lot of rest and don't put anything into the vagina. No tampons, and no sex. Let your pelvic rest.
