Kathleen...at 7 weeks with my DS I bled an unbeleivable amount..it started one day at noon and came and went until I was bleeding severly and went to hospital where I was told I had experienced a full M/C. No U/S was done at the time. At 12 weeks I learned I was still PG and that our baby was perfect! My RE assumed that I MUST have been carrying twins or triplets and that I had lost the other babies while somehow managing to keep our son safe.

Try NOT to worry...all you can do is sit back, TRY to relax and know that you are not the only one who has bled during PG and delivered a healthy baby!

best of luck, Nancy
