Why am I spotting or bleeding during early pregnancy?
There are a variety of reasons women may experience bleeding in early pregnancy. Most often there is no reason for alarm, as experts claim that as many as 25% of pregnant women experience some form of unharmful bleeding. Although less common, there are times when bleeding is indicative of a more serious condition.
Why am I spotting during the last half of my pregnancy?
Bleeding in late pregnancy is less common than in early pregnancy, but it is not always a reason for concern.
When should I call my care provider?
It’s important to keep in mind that most cases of spotting and bleeding during pregnancy are not serious. However, anytime bleeding is present during pregnancy it is a good idea to check in with your healthcare professional just to be on the safe side. This is especially true if the bleeding is heavy, lasts for multiple days, or is accompanied by pain.
