Not at all Yaq.
I've known you for quite some time and you know you have a group of friends that you can always talk to about anything. If something like this were to happen to me I would most definitely look for some way to vent and get things off my chest.
Good luck with everything man.
@Faust, Bisu for a boy and Yaqooba for a girl...obviously.

Awww, don't be so modest Micro. I know you've been preggers before.

holy crap, you can't even compare the other blogs to this, it has it's own level of sadness...
Good luck and I'll pray for your wife and baby.

First of all, this isn't as uncommon as you think. When my wife was pregnant with our first child, there were some problems with the uterus and she was bleeding too. You could see the shading in the ultrasound photo where the uterus had not developed properly. Obviously, this was really scary.
She had to remain in bed for much of the first few months of her pregnancy, and had to be careful through the whole term. Eventually the bleeding did stop and she became more mobile. Our baby is happy and healthy now, as is my wife.
I know it is scary now, even more so for you because you cannot be there to comfort your wife. However, this fear is worse than the problem itself. Your wife will take care of herself and your baby, and things will be good.
I'm sorry I can't give you any medical advice, I only have this personal experience. If you want to vent about it though, or have any questions, I'll answer them np.

What mani said sounds about right, the first pregnancy for a woman is probably a little more difficult than subsequent ones. It will probably be more painful and some blood involved like there is now, but I would give the benefit of doubt to the reproduction system which is the most important system of all and therefore most likely to work. Of course this is just anecdotal.

yikes, i hope everything turns out right. don't know what else to say, but hang in there

Yes, this is the same with my wife. If she gets up and moves then the bleeding starts and the doctor told her to lay down. She basically is on the bed now the whole day because whenever she moves then she bleeds.
Was your wife able to get up and walk around for the first couple of months or did she have to just lay on the bed?

After about 3(?) or so months whe was able to move around a bit more. When the baby is still so small, it is actually quite roomy in there. The body is preparing itself for this big ordeal, and sometimes things don't develop like in a textbook.
Once the baby gets bigger and starts stretching the uterus, it will firm up any problems pretty quickly. That is what happened with my wife (although she still spotted for quite a while) and she was able to move around a lot more.
It is extremely frustrating to just lay there though, I know. Because Japanese health care is rather strict, she was in the hospital for quite a while. Normally you can just be at home, like your wife.
Hang in there buddy. Talk to your wife as much as possible, even if it is only 5 minutes a day (I did the long distance thing for 2 years with my wife, so I feel you there). Try to think about some of the positive things too. You're gonna be a daddy! That is pretty awesome when you think about it. When I got all stressed out in this situation, I went and bought some kick ass baby shoes. Made me feel good (I AM MAN, I PROVIDE) and baby shoes look so cool. Take a picture of them and send them to your wife. She will be happy

Requesting the picture of the baby shoes.

Thanks Mani 
I might actually go out and buy some baby shoes.

She went to the doctors and they said its because her uterus is not closed like it should be which is resulting in her bleeding and gave her medication and told her to lie down alot. That was like 2 days ago and she continued bleeding. There really isn't enough information for me to tell you something to stop your worries and fortunately for the same reasons also nothing to increase your worries. Just trust the docs, Egyptian doctors tend to be very well trained/good. The 2 diseases you can look up that might be causing this is placenta previa and cervical insufficiency (incompetent cervix) but there is a ton of other conditions too that can cause early bleeding too.
Best thing you can do is keep in touch with her doctor, talk to him, ask him all your questions politely and keep in touch, that way he knows people are looking out for your wife and you get a feel for his care. Make sure an obstetrician/gynecologist sees her not just a family practitioner.

I am sorry to hear that, I just had my baby girl 2 weeks ago and we had the fortune of not passing through all this, however we did ask about it just in case it happen adn pur doctor explained to us that is not uncommon to happen specially in the first baby so dont over worry about it, I am pretty sure your wife and baby will be fine.
I have hear about some cases like yours around and in all the cases the woman was reqeusted to keep in bed as much as posible and rest, as boring as it can be is the best for both to avoid any further complicationl.
When is the probably birth day??? Do what Mani said, get some cute shoes ( I will suggest a little bit big cause they grow up so fast that there is a chance they wont use them too much xD) and take some pictures! It will make you both smile =)
