This is my first pregnancy. I am now 5 weeks pregnant according to my u/s. I found out last week I was pregnant and had my first u/s. I then started bleeding a day after the u/s. It started as spotting, then became bright red blood. I have been changing 4 panty liners a day. I have had 3 HCG tests in the last 6 days and the levels are fine and the second u/s saw a sac and a bit of the fetal pole. Last night, after my second u/s I started bleeding heavier and had bad lower back pain through the night. I have also had pretty bad mid back pain all day. I have very slight cramping in my tummy now too. I am very confused and not sure what to think. I have to go back in tow weeks for the next u/s but the wait is killing me. Has anybody else had this? Did everything turn our ok?
Hi Liz,
Some bleeding and light cramping is NORMAL during early pregnancy (the first trimester). If the bleeding or cramping becomes severe you should see your doctor immediately - have someone else drive you.
You NEED to notify your doctor about these events. They know your entire history and we don't.
Good luck.
