I am 13 weeks pregnant as of today. I
wanted to ask how a perfectly closed
cervix, a healthy baby, all of that can
allow so much spotting for such a long
period of time (since the 8th week)? I
thought the mucous plug was sealed? Any
ideas? Thanks.
PS my doctor doesn't seem concerned about
it, but of course - I am freaking out.
spotting can be normal in the first
trimester, and your drs right no reason to
worry if your cervix is closed and the
baby is healthy, there are no indicators
of a misscariage at all, all you can do is
relax, dont over do it. if you get
cramping or bleeding heavily then go to
the ER, by the 2nd trimester u should be
better. my friend bled the first 4 mths
and she had a healthy baby boy.

I am bleeding more now and they still tell
me the cervix is closed, baby is active
and healthy. It's just distressing to have
what looks like a period now. It's very
weird. They don't even know why which
doesn't help matters.
I really appreciate your reply! Thank you
for your encouraging words!
my friend was exaclty like that, she didnt
even know she was pregnant untl the 4th
month she was having regular periods, if
your cervix was opened then they would be
concerned or if the baby was showing signs
of distress but you have a healthy baby,
just relax, dont do anything strenuous,
dont lift anything over 10lbs or 5lbs to
be safe. And as hard as it may be try not
to stress out that can hurt the baby to be
constantly stressed out. Some people
experience a period during pregnany as odd
and scary as it may be in some people its
completely normal, just keep going to the
drs appts as usual . if your bleeding
heavily like soaking a pad every hr or
something with severe cramping then u
would have reason to worry other then that
theres no worries
