I'm 4 weeks pregnant and I'm spotting plus cramping?

Answer 1

I am not a doctor, just a 50 yr old mother of 4. If it is just slight spotting, it might be nothing at all and pass with a bit of rest. If it does not pass,but gets worse, I hate to say this but you might be experiencing the beginning of a misscarriage. If you are a healthy young person pregnant for the first time I would say that let nature take its course because it is mother nature's way of dealing with a pregnancy that for some reason is not meant to continue. I don't recall th stats, but it is something like 25% of all pregnancies end this way so it is really very normal and does not mean at all that you wont be able to have a bby in fact probably you could get pregnant again in 2 months time. Many doctors will tell you the same thing and won't treat early bleeding other than tell you to rest. they don't consider it abnormal unless you have had 3 misscarriages in a row. If you have been desperately trying for a pregnancy and you are older and you fear you might not have many more chances due to many previous misscarriages, then I would say to go to an emergency room or your doctor if he/she is available and ask them for advice. There are pills that stop the bleeding an help to maintain the embryo in place, but you will not usually get those until you have been diagnosed as needing a special hormone or needing something specific that can be remedied by taking a special pill. In any case , do look for more professional advice just to be assured. I hope some of this information was useful.
