First Half of Pregnancy
The frequency of bleeding in the first half of pregnancy is 20-30%. Bleeding may occur other than miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy. These reasons:
Miscarriage
Bleeding may be a sign of miscarriage, but it does not mean that there will be a miscarriage immediately after bleeding. Bleeding occurs in 20-30% of normal pregnancies in early pregnancy. Half of the women who have bleeding during this period do not experience miscarriage. Approximately 15-20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, and most of them occur up to 12 weeks, mostly in the first 8 weeks.
Miscarriage Symptoms:
The majority of miscarriages cannot be prevented and the most important reason is that the baby is disabled. Miscarriage does not mean that there will be no healthy baby later or that you are abnormal.
Ectopic Pregnancy
Ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy in a place other than the uterus. Most ectopic pregnancies occur in the tubes. The probability of ectopic pregnancy is 1 in 60 pregnancies.

Second Half of Pregnancy
The cause of light bleeding is due to cervical wound and enlargement.The result of late-term bleeding can pose serious dangers for the pregnant woman and the baby. You must immediately inform your doctor if you experience bleeding during this period.
