Dear Lynn... It is only natural to worry. I had two miscarriages and
then bleeding up until week 16 with my 1st successful pregnancy. My
bleeding was from a subchorionic hemorrhage (spelling?). At 16 weeks it
eventually subsided but I will tell you that my doctor did several
ultrasounds and followed me closely until it stopped. I have had 4
babies now and each time I had bleeding and spotting in the first
trimester to the first few weeks of the second. I hope everything goes
well for you...
