Hi
I'm 5 and a half week pregnant, and I started to bleed last night. I want to check whether I should be on bed rest or whether it is ok to carry on as normal, go to work etc.
Initially the blood was light and brown. Now it is red, mucusy (spelling?) and constant. I rang OOH and have a scan booked on Tuesday when I am 6 weeks. I don't have any pain - maybe a barely discernible lower abdomen/back pain, which does get a little worse when I try to do things.
I know bleeding is common and it might be ok, although red blood constantly is not a good sign. So should I be on bed rest? I am due in work next week and have a long commute. Should I stay in bed or go in? I feel generally ok, though a bit weak. I don't want to take a risk,s but don't want to go over the top either.
I feel a bit stupid asking this, but can't face ringing OOH again!
