Outlook

More than half of women who bleed during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy stop bleeding and end up having a normal baby. The others get more cramping and bleeding and eventually miscarry. Although emotionally unsettling, most women physically handle spontaneous abortions well.You may not know whether you are going to miscarry when you leave the emergency department.
