Suggest Treatment For Bleeding During Pregnancy Post Injury
My girlfriend recently found out she is pregnant. She is no more than a month pregnant, more than likely she is 3 1/2 weeks. Today she got punched in the stomach by a friend and she told me it hurt and she began spot bleeding afterwards. She then told me that she had a flow bleed with light blood first, then dark blood. The flow only lasted about a minute. Is there any possibility that she can miscarry? And also, is there any chance that the baby could have been harmed or gain any physical/mental disabilites from this?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns .
Abdominal trauma in early pregnancy can lead to miscarriage.Spotting or bleeding are present in miscarriage or subchorionic haemorrhage.
She should get a transvaginal ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.
Trauma at this early gestation do not leads to mental injury in fetus.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
