Im currently 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant but started bleeding two days ago. My urine test still shows that Im pregnant. Should I be worried about the bleeding, or is this something that can happen early in pregnancy? What should I do next?

Bleeding during pregnancy can be alarming, but it's common, especially in the first trimester, affecting up to 25% of women. Since your urine test still shows you're pregnant, it's essential to consult your healthcare provider to determine the cause and ensure your baby's health. They may perform an ultrasound and physical exam to assess the situation. In the meantime, keep track of the bleeding's color, consistency, and amount, as well as any other symptoms like cramping or pain
