Question : My wife is approximately 5 weeks pregnant. She has a upset stomach and some bleeding. Is this normal or sign of miscarriage?

Brief Answer:

Diagnosis should be confirmed.

Detailed Answer:

Hi!

I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.

Bleeding and pain can be due to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or even subchorionic hemorrhage.

I will suggest her to consult an OBGYN specialist for proper examination, investigations including an Ultrasound abdomen to confirm the fetal viability.

Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Can we wait two days to see our OBGYN or need to go to hospital immediately?

Answered by Dr. Deepti Verma (18 hours later)

Brief Answer:

Depends on bleeding.

Detailed Answer:

Hi!

If the bleeding is not very heavy, then she can wait for 2 days.

If there is heavy bleeding and pain in abdomen, then the doctor should be consulted at the earliest.

Hope this answers your query.
