It’s seven months remaining, and you are now experiencing pain in your belly or spotting. While you are bothered cramps and spotting will cause a miscarriage, women usually get stomach pain from time to time during pregnancy.<\/p>\n
At 8 weeks or 2 months into your pregnancy, some women will get spotting from minor trauma.<\/p>\n
Here’s Betty email she sent me after she notice spotting at 8 weeks<\/p>\n
Hi doc, I’ve been trying to conceive for 7 years and finally got pregnant. This morning is started bleeding on my panties and i think it’s a miscarriage. I don’t see clots, though, i feel tiny cramps in my abdomen. Please i need your help<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
After the email, I informed her to see her doctor quickly. Here’s the last email I received from Betty,<\/p>\n
Thanks doc. It’s nothing serious. I had sex the night before, and my doc says there is no problem.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Just like Betty, a lot of women will want a quick answer to why they are spotting. In most cases, it’s not a miscarriage.<\/p>\n
Apart from sexual intercourse, vaginal infections and cervical trauma will make you spot while pregnant. If you are also having cramps, it’s also normal except you get bleeding too.<\/p>\n
Commonly, any injury to the vaginal epithelium and the cervix will cause mild to moderate vaginal spotting. This is because, at eight weeks pregnant, your vaginal area, including your cervix, is well perfused with blood. Slight trauma will cause spotting.<\/p>\n
Then again, mild or heavy vaginal bleeding may still mean you are having a miscarriage.<\/p>\n
A miscarriage is a sudden loss of your baby before 20 weeks of pregnancy. In the first three months of getting pregnant, it’s considerably common for women to have a miscarriage.<\/p>\n
During a miscarriage, a lot of women will have cramps, bleeding and body weakness.<\/p>\n
The truth is your chances of having a miscarriage at 8 weeks is less now compared to the weeks before. At 3, 4<\/a>, 5<\/a>, and 6<\/a> weeks of pregnancy, miscarriage rates are very high.<\/p>\n
If you are now eight weeks pregnant, it means you’ve missed your period for four weeks. At this time, your baby’s development is occurring normally, and baby is increasing in size.<\/p>\n
At 8 weeks, you’ve already recognized pregnancy changes with sore heavy breasts, fatigue, and nausea. Some women may have food cravings and vomiting too.<\/p>\n
If these pregnancy symptoms at eight weeks start to wane with spotting and cramps, it’s possible there is something wrong. Talk to your doctor ASAP.<\/p>\n
