Pregnancy - bleeding problems
|
| Publisher: |
Better Health Channel
|
| Description: |
Bleeding in early pregnancy happens in about one in four pregnancies. About a third to half of all women who have bleeding will go on to miscarry. Other women who bleed during pregnancy will deliver a healthy baby. Most miscarriages occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Other reasons for bleeding during early pregnancy include an implantation bleed, when the pregnancy buries into the lining of the uterus.

Miscarriage explained
|
| Publisher: |
Better Health Channel
|
| Description: |
Spontaneous miscarriage is defined as the loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks gestation. Vaginal bleeding is the most common symptom of a threatened miscarriage, but not all women who experience bleeding will miscarry. The cause of miscarriage is usually not found. Women may need a curette (D&C) after a miscarriage. Women who have had three consecutive (recurrent) miscarriages are at risk of miscarrying again.
