Uterine Prolapse & Early Pregnancy: Spotting and Pain - Is It Dangerous?

Question
Hi,

I am about 6 wks pregnenet with my third child.  The last delivery was Aug 2008 and it resulted in a uterine prolapse.  I now have pink and browninsh spotting with very mild abdominal pain for the past 24 hours.  Is the uterine prolapse causing this because I havent had it with the other two pregnencyuies.  Just wanted to know if that is dangerous and should i go to the hospital or should i wait to see if it goes away.  I currently have my first midwife appointment on week 10.  Looking for any guidance.

thanks,
shazia

Answer
Hi Shazia,

If you are still having spotting and cramping, give your midwife a call.  There are several things that can cause spotting in the first trimester, and your midwife will be able to help you determine what is causing it.

As far as I know, the uterine prolapse would not be causing the spotting and bleeding.

I wish you the best with your pregnancy!
