What Could Bloody Stools With Abdominal Cramps During Pregnancy Suggest?

okay so i found blood when i went to the bathroom from my stool. i had some abdominal cramping and at the time was about three weeks pregnant. now i am about six weeks pregnant, but i have had no weight gain and no change in my body. im starting to wonder if i miscarried the baby at three weeks. can you help me figure this out?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Bloody stools with cramping in pregnancy may arise due to infection of intestines ( bacterial/ amebic),. But a single episode of cramps with bleeding may come from pregnancy- as you guess.
Though mostly,in early pregnancy there is no weight gain, but other signs of pregnancy like nausea, vomiting, capricious appetite,heaviness in lower abdomen are seen.To clear the doubt in your mind-
- consult an obstetrician for detailed examination. This may be followed by investigations like USG lower abdomen./ blood HCG test.
Thanks.
