5 weeks Pregnant

Hi I am new here...i just found out yesterday that I am 5weeks pregnant. Yesterday afternoon i noticed I started to bleed not heavy nor a period red blood. I have no cramping but some lower abdominal pressure. I am nervous because I just had a miscarriage in June. As of today I am still bleeding light with the lower abdominal pressure. Is that normal?

Hi, I had light bleeding from around 5 weeks, then once a week until I was about 9 weeks pregnant. I saw my doctor who referred me to the early pregnancy unit at my hospital and I went for a scan. So if I was you I would either see your doctor as soon as possible or call your hospitals early pregnancy unit yourself. When I first spoke to the hospital on the phone they asked when my last confirmed pregnancy test was, so might be worth doing another one if you call the unit directly without seeing your doctor. Hope that helps. X
