Around 20-25% of women will experience PV bleeds in their first trimester, whereas bleeding in the second and third trimester is less common.
Bleeding in early pregnancy can be a sign of either miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. Whereas bleeding in later stages of pregnancy can have different meanings.
Pregnancies with PV bleeds tend to result in small babies. So I was having scans every 2 weeks and gradually Oliver’s growth began to pick up, and as he grew more, my chance of having a natural birth was increasing too. At my last growth scan the sonographer chuckled and told me he weighed 8lb 5oz with still 3-4 weeks to go!

Ah on his due date! I had bleeding at 10 weeks and went numb. But at 37+1 our beautiful daughter was born! #kcacols

It must be terrifying! I had spotting/bleeding just after I found out I was pregnant and was told by a really unhelpful doctor that I was \”probably miscarrying\”… 9 months later my whopping 8 pounder came out!

I bled all the way through my 2nd pregnancy too – I was terrified as I'd had 2 miscarriages before that. I also had a healthy 7lb 11oz baby boy so it's all a bit of a mystery – didn't happen with either of my girls though! #KCACOLS

Wow! I wonder if it happening once makes it more likely to happen a second time? Thanks for commenting!
