Will I miscarry?

Q:At five weeks pregnant,I had mild cramps and light bleeding.My doctor said there was a 50% chance the pregnancy would continue.I'm now seven weeks and the cramps and bleeding haven't returned.Can you advise me?


A:Bleeding in early pregnancy is common and doesn't always mean miscarriage.It may occur when the fertilised egg implants in the womb.Some women notice bleeding when they would have had their period.It may be due to cervical erosion,and light spotting can also occur after sex.If there's also abdominal pain,seek medical advice immediately.You could always ask your doctor to refer you for an early scan.
