Just that really. 8+1 yesterday, had scan on Monday at 7w due to history of MC and very slight spotting, baby there with a heartbeat, measuring correct for dates.
Walking through town yesterday and felt a gush of blood - ran to bathroom and and was bright red blood everywhere, soaked straight through pants and into trousers. Passed one 2p-sized clot which definitely wasn't pregnancy tissue and a couple of tiny clots. Had to do an emergency dash to boots for pads, bleeding continued to gush out every so often but in much smaller amounts - by the end of the day it hadn't quite filled a pad (although I did get urinary incontinence pads so pretty absorbent!). By last night it had tailed off to just brown and just when I wipe, it's the same this morning. No more active bleeding. Had no cramps at all and still have all my pregnancy symptoms. Definitely haven't passed the baby so I can only assume it's still in there, but other than that I don't know what to think!
Will ring GP tomorrow but not sure what they'll do considering I had a recent scan anyway.
Anyone had a similar experience? What was the outcome? Am happy to hear bad outcomes too as I'm still fully expecting this to end badly - after 2 MMC and a natural MC it was a shock to see a heartbeat at all. So am more than prepared for that possibility.

Pregnancy
8 weeks, heavy bleed after good scan, don't know what to think!

Bump! Sorry, I know it's long, but would really appreciate replies if anyone's been in a similar situation 
I had a similar sounding bleed experience at 6 weeks. I rang the doctors the next day who just said to call back if the bleeding started again (it didnt) and to take another pregnancy test after a week. It was horrible not knowing and waiting but I still had symptoms and test was positive. Not had any more bleeding so I'm just waiting for a 12 week scan date and assuming everything is ok (fingers crossed).
Hope this helps a little. Call your gp though they may not be any more helpful than mine. I assume you're still having a 12 week scan too?
The not knowing is awful but if you still have symptoms that has to be a good sign right? Fingers crossed for you. I hope all is ok 
Don't panic just yet. I know that's easier said than done.
but bleeding. even heavy bleeding doesn't necessarily mean a miscarriage.
I had huge amounts of bleeding in pregnancy. there was no way in my mind a baby could have survived what was happening. I was passing clots ranging from 5 p coins to packs of butter. it sometimes literally poured out of me.
I had something called a sub chorionic haematoma.
no cramps is a good sign . it started at 11 weeks not 8 weeks but it carried on to varying levels fir several weeks.
I would call and arrange a re scan but don't assume the worst just yet.
oh and that baby is a healthy 5 year old now. there is hope until they tell you otherwise 
Ooh me. I've had this.
I had 2 mc's, then when pg with my daughter at 13 weeks, 3 days after our 12 weeks scan where I was just starting to tell people, had a massive bleed. Big gush of blood, couple of small clots. Didn't carry on.
Got Sent to a and e, where a lovely doc took pity on me because of history and got them to open up scan unit at 1 am to check out baby. All well, they couldn't explain the bleed with anything substantial, just said probably bits that weren't needed (?!) and might have a few trickles more.
I didn't, all was well, she's just turned 2 and is very excited about 'kissmas'.
Hoping it all goes the same for you... Definitely push for a scan asap as they can check out the sac etc and tell you if any more bleeds are likely (as far as they can check anyway).
Everything crossed for you
I'm sorry, it wasn't good news for me. I had a 6 week and 8 week scan due to previous miscarriage / complications and at both saw heartbeat / measuring correct for dates.
Two days after the 8 week one had a rush of bright red blood which was the start of a miscarriage.
I do know a friend who had this at 9 weeks and her DD is now three.
I'd try and get a scan first thing.
Well apparently they don't give anti-D for bleeds under 12 weeks any more under new guidelines. GP referred me to EPU. Went for my scan this morning fully expecting the worst, told the woman that this would be MC number 4. Even the techs were like "so we're probably expecting bad news here".
The baby is perfect, measuring right on track with a heartbeat! She looked everywhere and no explanation for the bleed, everything on the inside looks fine apparently. Just one of those things. I am absolutely in shock. Sobbed my eyes out!
Hopefully anyone in the same situation who comes across this post will find a bit of reassurance. It really doesn't always mean the worst! That's my Christmas miracle sorted anyway 
wonderful! Bit of grit in my eye.... so pleased for you OP.
Well that's just fantastic!!!! so pleased for you. amazing! !!
Thank you everyone I feel like the luckiest person in the world!
