Hello all
I wonder if any of you can shed some light....
@31, This is my 2nd pregnancy, my 1st was without any complications and DD is now 13months. I have been having some light cramps (similar to period ones) and had some discharge last thur, i freaked out totally and left work early, was reassured by a locum GP that I have to monitor for a few days but when I spoke to midwife on Friday she suggested for me to contact GP again to request an early scan. Since that I had little spotting twice. Was referred and had my scan on Sunday, but realised I was really early- approx. 5weeks+2 so only the pregnancy sac was seen in the uterus, a heartbeat cannot be detected at this stage. Re-scan is scheduled in 2 weeks.
I had no bleeding on Sunday and feeling relieved from the scan we had sex (probably shouldn't!). Monday being bank hol we have been out the whole day on a mini road trip without thinking much of it, but in the evening I started bleeding again, this time it's fresh blood and i had to keep changing the liner every time i go to the loo, eventually i m now on a pad since this morning and but not had the need to change yet, as if it's a very light period day.
I know at this point I can't do much but wait for my 2nd scan, but does any of the following increase the likelihood of bleeding?
- sex - but how much bleeding are we talking about?
- been consuming mixed berry tea (i know red raspberry tea was known to relax cervix)
- over exertion, stress or tiredness? im going through some tough times at work... dealing with a grievance and possible redundancy :(
I have stayed home instead of going to work being worried since this morning... could do with some encouragement and answers!
Thanks xxx
