First Trimester of Pregnancy Answer A843 Posted: 04-27-06 07:50am
No, bleeding during the first trimester of
pregnancy is not OK.... but it doesn’t
mean that the condition is serious,
either. First, you can visit your
gynecologist to distinguish the nature of
the discharge (is it blood or not) and
identify the origin. If the blood
originates from the uterus, it has to be
taken very seriously as a sign of possible
miscarriage. If the discharge is not
blood, it is a probable sign of a vaginal
infection that has to be treated to
prevent further complications.
