hi kathleen. i have experienced the same thing. at 14 weeks my husband rushed me to the er because i left a trail of blood through the house to the bathroom. by the time we got to the er the bleeding had stopped. it started a little while after we got there but stopped again. they did an u/s and the baby was healthy. i was dignosed with the same thing and took off of work for 2 weeks and put on light duty for another 2 weeks. i went through the same thoughts for the next 5 weeks. (should we end this preg and start over, will i bleed more, will i have a healthy baby?) well we decided to keep our baby and wait it out. i am now 22 weeks and no bleeding for 1 1/2 weeks now. just a note to let you know you are not alone. need to talk e-mail me elmiranative@hotmail.com. hope this will help you
