QuestionI am 22 years old and had a child by emergency c-section seven months ago. The first day of my last period was March 25th, 2006 and I have had two positive pregnancy tests. Now I am having some light period-like bleedind and cramping. Am I miscarrying?
AnswerIt is quite common to have some spotting in early pregnancy. If the bleeding becomes heavier with cramps, it may indicate the beginning of a miscarriage. If your last period started on march 25, you are now only 5-6 weeks pregnant. If you have any doubts, take a sonogram in 1-2 weeks. By then, you should see a fetus and a fetal heartbeat. Of course, if you start to bleed heavily with cramps, consult your doctor right away.
