Watery Bleeding in Early Pregnancy: Causes & When to Worry

Question
hi i have been getting watery bleeding not a lot but a fair bit theres no blood clots and it was a pale red i am 8 weeks pregnant and i'm breaking down with worry what is wrong with me? please help

Answer
At 8 weeks gestation, it is common to have some pinkish discharge from the vagina (or even brownish discharge). However, if you notice copious amounts of blood (whether it is thin or thick), you should notify your doctor and get a sonogram to make sure that all is well. If there is adequate growth of the fetus on sonogram and a good fetal heartbeat, you need not worry.
