15 weeks pregnant and bleeding

[daisy0905]

Hello,
In 15 weeks and 2 days pregnant, I woke up this morning with a sharp pain in the left side of my belly, I later discovered I was bleeding, not heavy but enough to worry me. I rang the doctors and they told me to come in and see a midwife, she listened to the baby's heart beat and said everything was ok however if the bleeding didn't stop then to go to A&E later, I've never experienced bleeding in my pregnancy before and am very worried I am losing the baby,

I had some bleeding last week when I was 15 weeks, the same happened to me they listened for a heart beat and said everything was fine. the bleeding turned to brown spotting very quickly and then to nothing by the evening.

have you had any bleeding since? or pain?

[daisy0905]

Yeah it's turned brown and seems to be stopping but I'm still very worried that I could lose the baby, I had pain in the morning but now I'm only having little twinges bit noting unbearable

I had bleeding at 16 weeks. They thought it was a sensitive cervix. It can be coming from lots of places besides where the baby is so try to stay calm.

Are you rhesus negative? You should have a jab if so.

Otherwise see how you feel. I went to a&e and they scanned me, which put my mind at rest; you might be able to get same? Good luck!

if you are still feeling very stressed about it (which is so understandable) I would ring your midwife and say so and that you would like more reassurance like a scan. or if you have enough funds see if you can have a private scan. lots of private scans do dating scans at 16 weeks.

Thank you both for getting back to me, I had a 12 week scan and they said I was at low risk of losing the baby but the bleeding was so sudden, I'm thinking about going to the hospital anyway just to have a scan just put my mind at ease

I would if I were you. I am sure it will just be an extra sneaky peek at your lovely little baby!
