Is Little Vaginal Bleeding Normal During Pregnancy?
Hi doctor,
I am 5 and a half week pregnant. I think i found a red vaginal discharge today. Is it common during pregnancy?. It was a negligent amount of redness found and found for the first time. Could you please confirm me if its something that needs to be taken care?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Bleeding in confirmed pregnancy is never normal.
However some irritation/ scratching/ sex can cause little laseration out side the uterine cavity which can cause slight bleeding as you have.
- It it should never be taken for granted. In case it is from uterine cavity- an urgent medication can prevent further damage.
- I would advice,to consult your treating gynecologist get your self examined & investigated if advised, to be followed by specific treatment advised.like hormonal suplement.
Till then/Along with this you need to -
- take bed rest, avoid physical/psychological stress.
Thanks
