I am 18 weeks pregnant and have random bleeding. Today I went to the doctor and he used silver nitrate to cauterize my cervix to make it stop. A couple hours later I had semi heavy bleeding. Is this normal or should I be concerned ? I thought the cauterizing was supposed to stop the bleeding entirely.
It should have, but give it a day and if it continues then please report to your doctor again. If he went for a cauterization then there may be a source of bleeding that is not related to the pregnancy (hopefully) and so you should report to him again tomorrow if it still persists.
Best wishes.

What Causes Bleeding During Pregnancy?
Hi. It should have, but give it a day and if it continues then please report to your doctor again. If he went for a cauterization then there may be a source of bleeding that is not related to the pregnancy (hopefully) and so you should report to him again tomorrow if it still persists. Best wishes.
