Pregnant. What Can Clotted Bleeding Mean? What If The Cervix Is Closed?
Hello! I have a question... I m 6weeks pregnant. Today I had heavy bleeding with clots, large ones. I called my ObGyn and told me to go to the ER (I thought I had a miscarriage ). Blood tests came fine, and vaginal ultrasound showed that baby was still in my uterus! I couldn t believe it! Plus, the cervix was fully closed! I would like to know what could have cause this to happen? He ordered a week of bed rest and progesterone vaginal supositories (which I was taking before the bleeding). Thanks for your time!

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
There are many types of abortion like-
Threatened abortion,
Incomplete & complete abortion.
In threatened abortion, fetus is still inside the uterus; but at any it can be expelled or it can be retained & can go up to term gestation.
You are facing threatened abortion.
So have proper rest & take medication properly & get an ultrasound scan done after a week.
If you have any further query please let me know I would try to answer it for you.
Wish you a great health
