Is it normal to bleed in the third week of pregnancy?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 02/28/2017

The bleeding that some women have at the end of the third week of gestation corresponds to the implantation bleeding caused by the adhesion of the embryo in the endometrium. This bleeding is not very abundant, sometimes it is simply a stain that lasts one or two days. If it is an abundant bleeding, it could be due to an advance of the menstrual period.
