Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

my niece is 15-16 weeks pregnant. She woke up two weeks ago with her undies saturated, bled enough to turn water in toilet red. Bright red blood, the bleeding stopped. Last week again started bleeding, sounds like old blood. they did an ultra sound, baby was very active with strong heart beat. The could "see on the ultrasound a pooled area of blood. She has been passing old blood since. This morning it sounds as if she has passed a clot."I could feel some thing pass, but it fell apart when it hit the water, mixed old and new blood.

Questions: What can cause such a bleed.

Is the the clot that passed this a.m. possibly irritating the cervix or some thing that produced a little new blood.

Does alot of women experiece bleeding without missed AB

I relize there is nothing that can be done so early in the preg to stop missed AB. If it happens it will happen. Just confused and very worried. She is sooo happy so be having a child. If anyone can enlighten me on the subject I would so deeply appreciate it.

Thanks
