You should see your doctor straight away if you bleed during pregnancy, and if the bleeding is particularly heavy you should call an ambulance.
It is advised that you go to your local hospital to see a doctor who specialises in pregnancies. They will be able to carry out some checks to determine whether you have had a miscarriage.
An ultrasound scan is used to see if You have had a miscarriage

There is another reason for the bleeding, like an ectopic pregnancy.
A pregnancy test will also be able to show you if you are still pregnant.
If a miscarriage has already started it is not possible to stop it with treatment. The pregnancy tissue usually passes out naturally and the bleeding should stop within a few days. If the bleeding continues for more than a few days, you can have a small operation to clear the uterus.
