Is it common in first pregnancy to bleed?

It is common to experience light spotting or bleeding in early pregnancy, which is known as implantation bleeding. This occurs when the fertilised egg implants into the lining of the uterus. Implantation bleeding is usually light and doesn't last long, happening around the time when you would expect your period. However, if you experience heavy bleeding or bleeding accompanied by pain or cramping, it is important to see a doctor as it may not be related to implantation. In any case, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or questions about bleeding or other changes during pregnancy.
