Red Blood but no Cramps? Should I be worried???

Hi All, just wondering if anyone else has experienced having red blood, but no cramping?  I occasionally have a dull ache on one side that has come and gone so far, but no cramps.  I am 7w today.  Needless to say I just went to the bathroom and went to wipe and it was red...  I plan on calling my doctor right away, but was just looking for any input that others may have had.  I am still nauseous, bloated, and my boobs really hurt.  This is my first pregnancy, so I'm kind of worried.

  • You should consult your doctor. Symptoms cone and go, and really don't mean anything.

  • There can be several reasons for bleeding, so the best thing is to try to see your doctor (which I know you are doing).

    I'm in the same boat - 7w yesterday and had some red blood but no cramping. Mayo Clinic has some nicely reassuring information about bleeding, and I also have a call into my midwife. Fingers crossed for both of us!

  • @icyshimmerpowder  Thanks, I will check that out! Good luck to you too!  I did speak to the nurse and she said that because I'm not forcefully bleeding (my underwear/pad wasn't stained) and it was only when I wiped that they want me to just monitor it for now.  So that is what I will continue to do!  It's hard not to worry!!

  • I really hope all is well.  I completely understand why you are worried. 
  • Bleeding during pregnancy is ALWAYS alarming. I'm glad that you spoke with a nurse. Call if you start cramping or anything like that. So scary. Sorry.
  • I'm 10 weeks and have had the same issue. I called the nurse and she said it was most likely caused by intercourse, but could also be constipation or exercise (squats, in my case). Like yours, she said as long as it's a small amount and no cramping, it's nothing to worry about. Hope that helps ease your mind a little bit and that everything turns out ok!
  • Heard back from my midwife, she said no real need to worry, but she's going to try & push my ultrasound earlier just to double check.
