I'm 12 weeks pregnant and two days ago had an intense shooting pain in my bum (had similar during previous labour and ovulation for a few months after having DD). Think hot poker up the bum. After that, I felt pressure in my bum, like bearing dowb but the shooting pain didn't reoccur. I was feeling a bit constipated so put it down to that. Sorry for the tmi.
A few hours later, I noticed really light pink discharge on wiping. It was light enough that I couldn't be sure if it was just the lighting in the bathroom. This continued yesterday, getting a lot darker and lots more of it, but still pink rather than red. Its definitely vaginal.
Today, it seems to be turning brown so I assume its old blood and whatever caused it was a day or two ago. Problem is I don't know what caused it. I'm assuming miscarriage but maybe there would be more blood?
I'm not in any pain. My stomach feels a tiny bit crampy but if it wasn't for the spotting, I'd put it down to uterus stretching/eating too many leftover Christmas chocolates/nothing serious.
I've got my dating scan on Monday so not too long to wait. But seeing as I've now just about read every Google hit on '12 weeks spotting' and am none the wiser, I thought I'd start my own.
Sorry if this is really insensitive.
