What Causes Dark Red Vaginal Bleeding And Abdominal Cramping During Early Pregnancy?

did a home preg test last saturday and am positive but on wednesday started bleeding. similar to period but not quite as heavy. had a scan at hospital to show sack with yolk is sitting nicely. had one stringy clot, size of large marble and some small ones. blood is dark red colour. no pain until this morning but only very mild cramps. similar to period/ovulation pains but not as strong. does this sound normal? ive got one daughter and never miscarried before. any advice would be appreciated, im consumed with this anxiety! - thankyou, worried aussie mum

Hello
Looking at your history this could be any of following
Normal bleeding related to implantation
Threatened abortion
Infection like PID

I would like to know when have you undergone scan study
wast it before this episode?

In my opinion you should immediately consult a gynaecologist for examination, a repeat scan and a battery of tests to rule out abortion and infection

Have plenty of fluids
Complete Bed rest
Have balanced and good food like fresh fruits and vegetables
Take Folic acid daily
maintain good hygiene
Best wishes
