I am 18 weeks pregnant and have random bleeding. Today I went to the doctor and he used silver nitrate to cauterize my cervix to make it stop. A couple hours later I had semi heavy bleeding. Is this normal or should I be concerned ? I thought the cauterizing was supposed to stop the bleeding entirely.
Hi. It should have, but give it a day and if it continues then please report to your doctor again. If he went for a cauterization then there may be a source of bleeding that is not related to the pregnancy (hopefully) and so you should report to him again tomorrow if it still persists. Best wishes.
