Hi my girlfriend is 8 weeks pregnant. She
had a miscarriage in april ago. She has
been experiencing normal pregnancy
symptoms, back pain, frequent urination,
etc. A few days ago she was experiencing
very sharp pains in her pelvic area that
were extremely painful. She said now the
pains have gone down but are still
present, just not as intense or frequent.
However , last night, she was wiping after
she urinated and found a relatively light
amount of blood down there. Also, she has
not had morning sickness as bad in the
last couple days or so as she was having
earlier on in her pregnancy (it went from
throwing up maybe 5 or 6 times a day to
maybe 1 time) . When she went a little
later there was more blood when she wiped.
Today she has not had any pains or any
bleeding.
It is important to note we went to the
doctors and told him about the sharp, bad
pains, and he said that she was close to a
miscarriage and put her on bedrest. I
should also note that she is only 4'11 100
pounds. Can anybody help me decipher this
situation? Btw, doesnt spotting only
happen during the first week after
fertilization?

Hi Cribbs.
Light blood over a couple of days might
indicate a urinary tract infection. Was
the blood coming from the urethra or the
vagina?
