OBGYN,  's  Response
Bleeding never occurs in normal pregnancy.
The symptoms of early pregnancy - in first three months are:
1. Missing a period
2. Nausea and vomiting
3. Frequency of urination
4. Breast Changes -
* Engorgement and tenderness
* Brownish discolouration of nipples and areola. This happens in first pregnancy and is permanent change.
* Increasing the size of areola
* Clear secretions from nipple on squeezing
However, pregnancy is never diagnosed on any of these symptoms alone. For confirmation of pregnancy, clinical examination is necessary. To support the clinical diagnosis, urine pregnancy test and/or ultrasonography after 8-10 days of missed period is performed. Beta hCG test is highly specific and sensitive which can give reliable results within 2-3 days of missed period.
I hope you have got the answer for your query.
