These may include:

2. Cancer of cervix.
3. Infection! Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy 6 weeks /first trimester also can occur if you have infection of vagina and cervix. This infection can be caused by certain sexually transmitted infections (like herpes, gonorrhea, or Chlamydia).

Since bleeding in any trimester could point a problem, again make sure to report your bleeding symptom to your doctor! Also write down the blood type of your bleeding symptom, specific color of the blood (such as red, pink, or brown) and other characteristics (like full of clots or smooth). Use a pad in order to track how much you are bleeding!
