I just found out that I am 6 weeks pregnant today. I just started spotting light red blood only when I wipe. Am I having a miscarriage?

Not necessarily, I had bleeding earlier in this pregnancy. You should take it easy if possible, and maybe ask for an early scan or blood test to confirm the pegnancy.

Go and see ur g.p they can arrange a scan to check everything is ok bleeding shouldn't happen in pregnancy but it does happen I bled For 3 months with my first and for a month with my last x

Its most likely to be implantation. But best to go to the doctor to put your mind at rest. I had the same around that time just after I found out and it was such a relief to know everything was okay (and get a sneak peek at baby's heart fluttering away was lovely) fingers crossed everything is okay for you xxx

It was the same for me. I got really scared and rushed to A&E where they checked my urine and confirmed pregnancy an gave an appointment for early scan. It is probably implantation bleeding but worth having it checked so you can calm down and don't stress about it. All the best!

aww i no how you feel, i started to bleed at the beginning of my pregnancy think i was around 6-7weeks but they scanned me and turned out to be a patch left in my womb from my last period. Apparently its quite common so try not to worry to much. Good luck hope all goes well xx

Like others said, it is probable you are not miscarrying.

I spotted with my pregnancy (now 25weeks) was even going to the gym as I didn't know I was pregnant.

You just need to see your GP as soon as you can x
