    Bleeding in the first trimester is quite common. It can be caused by a number of things including intercourse or a placenta previa that may resolve, just to name two.

    Your doctor is correct in taking the wait and see approach.

    I know it doesn't make you feel any less concerned, but try to relax and see what happens.

    How much were you bleeding? Did you fill a pad? Was it spotting?
