General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Bleeding is quite common during early pregnancy. It is called 'Subchorionic Hemorrhage'.
The gestational sac grows exponentially during early pregnancy and in case of rapid growth, it could lead to some tearing around the sac. The torn tissues generally bleeds. The blood usually travels into the vaginal canal and is seen as spotting or be present in the sac itself.
It is not that subchronic hemorrhage is always associated with miscarriage. In normal pregnancies, subchorionic hemorrhages generally clear up by the second trimester of pregnancy.
Miscarriage is likely to happen if it is associated with a genetic error or an autoimmune disorder.
Kindly consult Gynecologist in this regard and take adequate precautions as advised and hope for the best.
Best wishes.
