Q: What Could It Be

• slight bleeding, which may last over a period of days, may be a ‘threatened’ miscarriage. You may be told to rest — although there’s no proof that staying in bed helps prevent a miscarriage — and to avoid exercise and sex. You may be offered a scan. The hardest part is often waiting to see what will happen.

• heavy, bright-red bleeding, with cramp-like abdominal pains, may be an ‘inevitable’ miscarriage. Your doctor may examine you to see if your cervix is still closed. If it isn’t, a miscarriage is sadly unavoidable. You may choose to wait at home for it to happen or go into hospital. You’ll probably be recommended to have a minor operation afterwards to make sure your uterus is empty.

Those are some of the signs my girlfriend is showing spotting and cramps
we have been to the doctor which are useless many times and yet they cant tell us any thing now the above info is for early pregnancies my girl friend is 6 months ??
Am at my wits end cant sleep or think it's hard not knowing what's happing

Thanks all

What do you mean the docs aren't helping. If she is spotting consistently and heavily with cramps, the doc should be doing something. You should go to a diff doc, she needs help.
