Bleeding in early pregnancy: When should you worry?

by

Light bleeding or spotting during your first trimester is common. Here’s what it could mean (and when to seek help).

During pregnancy, your body changes. A lot. And early on in pregnancy, you might experience some fairly significant hormonal changes. You may not feel your best due to mood swings, exhaustion, and morning sickness. However, you might not be aware of another early pregnancy symptom, which is bleeding or spotting.

    • What To Expect At 8 Weeks Pregnant

    Two months, or the first trimester of pregnancy, are equal to eight weeks of pregnancy in months.

    Your baby has a quick fetal pulse and is beginning to form its fingers and toes when you are eight weeks pregnant. There’s other kind of development going on, too. Here’s what.

  • Cardiac Activity: The cells that will eventually become your baby’s heart are beating 150 to 170 times per minute, about double the rate of yours. You’ll probably be able to hear and/or see it on an ultrasound at your 8-week doctor’s appointment.
  • Facial features: The lips, nose and eyelids are developing and becoming more distinct.
  • Fingers and toes: According to the Mayo Clinic, your baby’s fingers and toes are developing too; they’re webbed for now. Oh, and their tail is almost gone.
  • Baby’s sex: It’s too early to tell baby’s sex since the organs haven’t developed enough yet. You will be able to find out over the next few weeks if you’re getting non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). If you aren’t, you’ll probably be able to determine sex at the mid-pregnancy ultrasound around 20 weeks pregnant. (If baby cooperates!)
