What could be the reason for bleeding during pregnancy?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My wife is 6 weeks pregnant. She has been experiencing pain in the stomach and waist since the start of the pregnancy. Sometimes, the pain is severe. As per our local gynecologist, all the reports are normal, and there is no need to worry. I have attached all the reports taken till now for your reference.

Also, she had slight bleeding for around two times, and yesterday, there was heavy bleeding like menstruation whenever she went to the bathroom. Our gynecologist suggested Trenaxa 500 tablets. After that, there has been no bleeding till now. We are worried and need a second opinion to know the safety of our baby.

Why is there bleeding and continuous stomach and waist pain? The stomach and waist pain are still present. There is no previous medical history. She is 29 years old. Her height is 5'2" and her weight is 90 lbs.

Please advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There are two issues here. One is bleeding per vagina, which is a problematic one, and the second one is the painful abdomen. Actually, any type of bleeding during cycle is abnormal and needs investigation. Truly speaking, fetal prognosis is also guarded here, though she had a previous normal scan.

She needs a repeat ultrasonography now to know whether the fetus is still alive inside. Sorry to say, there are possibilities of abortion, and that needs to be ruled out now. So, get a repeat scan now and let me know the result.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
