Does Using Tampons During Pregnancy Harm The Fetus?
I think I might be pregnant but I’m not sure I’m supposed to start my period in a few days and I’ve had some spotting but it comes and goes I looked it up and it could be implantation blood. I used a tampon because I thought I was going to start my period. My question is if I am pregnant will using a tampon harm the baby?

Hi
Thanks for asking to HCM.
First of all you should confirm pregnancy by urine pregnancy test kit. If you missed the period for more than 7 days just confirm pregnancy by urine pregnancy kit. You can use if minor bleeding is there, but maintain hygiene by changing it frequently. So that changes of fungal/bacterial infection will reduce.
