Question: Bleeding in early pregnancy
Q: “I am about six weeks pregnant. This morning, I lost a few spots of red blood. I don’t have any pain, but I can’t help feeling worried. What may be happening?” A: Many women experience bleeding in early pregnancy and it does not necessarily indicate that anything is wrong. In fact, out of every 10…
Spotting and Bleeding in pregnancy
Spotting or bleeding from the vagina during pregnancy may be a cause for concern. There are a number of possible causes – many of them aren’t serious, but some are. You should consult your doctor or midwife as soon as possible if you notice any bleeding, so that you can get prompt treatment if it turns out to be…
Miscarriage
Some experts estimate that as many as one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage. In legal terms in the UK, a miscarriage is defined as a pregnancy which ends in the loss of a baby before 24 weeks. After 24 weeks, if the baby is born and doesn’t survive, it’s known as a stillbirth and not…

Dizziness and fainting in pregnancy
Feeling dizzy or faint is quite common, especially in early pregnancy. Pregnancy hormones cause your blood vessels to relax and widen. This is nature’s way of improving the flow of blood to your baby, but has the side effect of slowing the return of venous blood. This causes your blood pressure to be lower than usual, so that if…
Abdominal discomfort in pregnancy
Abdominal discomfort is very common during pregnancy, especially in the early months. Many women have low, period-like pain for a day or so early in pregnancy around the time of their first missed period. It may feel as though your period is about to start – but doesn’t. This is probably around the time that…

Separating placenta
Normally, the placenta remains firmly attached to the wall of the womb until after the baby has been born. In a small number of cases (about 1 per cent), though, it separates before the baby is born. This is sometimes known as ‘accidental bleeding’ or ‘accidental haemorrhage’ or ‘placental abruption’. It is described as ‘accidental’ because what causes…
Vaginal discharge and bleeding in pregnancy
Most women notice an increase in vaginal discharge during pregnancy. This is quite normal and is caused by a combination of factors – increased blood supply, softening of the cervix and vaginal walls, and later, stimulation from the baby’s head, as he or she presses against the cervix ready for labour. Sometimes your vaginal discharge may be so heavy…
Incompetent cervix
In a normal pregnancy the cervix (the opening of the womb at the top of the vagina) remains tightly closed until the baby is ready to be born, at which point it starts to open up. In a small percentage of cases, though, the cervix isn’t strong enough to stay closed, and when the weight of the baby…
