Regarding the bleeding can manifest itself in a light and between blood clots is also expelled the fertilized egg.

Symptoms of abortion in the second and third month of conception
In this case symptoms develop in a more remarkable. There is a more apparent bleeding, pain and a degree of dilation of the cervix in order to let the egg more developed into an embryo.
