Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is any discharge of blood from the vagina. It can happen any time from conception (when the egg is fertilized) to the end of pregnancy.
About 2 or 3 out of every 10 pregnant women have vaginal bleeding during their first 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Bleeding in the first trimester is not always a problem. It may be caused by:
Having sex
An infection
The fertilized egg implanting in the uterus
Hormone changes
Other factors that will not harm the woman or baby
