Consulting your doctor during the early stages can help you with proper diagnosis, more advice, and any treatment if necessary.

6 weeks pregnant and spotting – Is it normal?

Spotting during 6th week or first trimester doesn’t always point to miscarriage or any other problem. Most pregnant women usually experience this condition, which means it is a pretty common problem.

Usually, 15-20% of all pregnancies may end up in miscarriage and lot of these cases happen before women even realize that they are pregnant. 20-30% of women experience mild bleeding during their early pregnancy, but only half or even less of these may end up with miscarriage.

6 weeks pregnant and spotting –Are there any causes?

There are various reasons that result in spots during the first trimester. Here are the most common causes of spotting during pregnancy.

Implantation bleeding: Generally most pregnant women experience spotting during 1st and 2nd weeks of pregnancy, it is also possible to notice during 6th-week pregnancy.

Ectopic pregnancy: This condition occurs when the fertilized egg is implanted outside of the uterus. During ectopic pregnancy, the embryo is implanted in the fallopian tubes and cause abnormal bleeding and is life-threatening if left untreated.

Gestational trophoblastic disease: Also called as molar pregnancy, in which there is no baby that grows in the uterus, but the growth of abnormal tissue in the uterus. In rare cases, it can be a cancer cell that can spread to the other parts of the body.

Early miscarriage: This condition happens when there is no proper development of the baby. But bleeding from a miscarriage is heavier, but it is fairly common. Some women may have a miscarriage before they know that they are pregnant and assume that it is a regular period.
