Im 5 weeks pregnant and spotting/ bleeding less then a normal period. everything okay?

Question

ok, i found out wedensday i was 5 weeks and 1 day pregnant, really excited, had a miscarriage at 5 months with twins 4 years ago... no luck since. SO it was great news wednesday, well yesterday started spotting pink, today bleeding ( less then a period) no cramps or anything. only morning sickness and the normal uterus expanding for baby stuff... my levels were 2500 on wednesday and 4991 today, doctor said they were good. i only seem to bleed when im at work, he thinks i walk too much. so i am on bedrest until the bleeding stops. friend said its probably placenta attaching. of course, my first thought was another miscarriage, but the doctor said as long as my numbers go up like they are doing, we are good. I am rh negative and i had a laproscopy surgery a month ago, they removed endometriosis, is the bleeding maybe because the body is getting back to normal after that.... any help would be great. thanks so much

Answer 1

You may be spontaneously aborting/having a miscarriage.

You also could be having your period.

I have had several friends that had regular periods throughout their entire pregnancies.  I agree with the above, talk to your OB/GYN.

Answer 2

Wow!!  Surgery one month and pregnant the next!!

Congratulations.

I'd listen to your dr.  He knows best.  Lay back and rest for a few days, and pray like crazy for God to save your little one.

Answer 3

I had spotting type bleeding for the first three months of my pregnancy.  It seem to occur right around the time I would have normally had a period.  Then it just went away.  Doc never did figure out why.  BTW that baby just turned 13  Good Luck!

Answer 4

see a doctor hun! just so you can be scanned to be totally sure and put your mind at rest!  

Answer 5

Can't offer much advice on if the endometriosis has anything to do with the bleeding.  But things should be fine as long as those numbers keep going up.  The only other support I can offer is that based on the statistics I've heard, that something like over 50% of women who experience spotting during their 1st trimester go on to have a healthy baby.

So as long as those numbers keep rising (or you see heartbeats, which might happen if you get a transvaginal ultrasound on your next dr visit) and the spotting is not bright red blood, I'll probably be ok.

Answer 6

it should be, ask your doctor and tell him all of this.

Answer 7

Go to the hospital just to make sure. It is not normal to bleed while prego. I'd go get checked out.
