Pregnancy Loss
Vaginal bleeding is one of the most common signs of pregnancy loss or miscarriage, which typically happens in the first 13 weeks of pregnancy. Nevertheless, about 50 percent of women who experience spotting during the early months do not lose the pregnancy. If you are pregnant and notice bright or brown red bleeding, along with cramps, make sure to inform your healthcare provider. Other common signs of a miscarriage include unexpected weight loss, back pain, contractions, cramping, white-pink mucus, a sudden drop in pregnancy symptoms, and clot-like material in the vagina.
