Bleeding in early pregnancy how many of you have had it?

How many people actually bleed during early pregnancy?
I'm almost 6 weeks and bled for 3 days at 5 weeks, then light pink spotting when I wipe starting last night.
I'm booked in for an early scan on Wednesday and they haven't made much of the bleeding just wanting to check HCG levels in case of ectopic or miscarriage but HCG levels are going up so they said that's promising.

Interested to hear if anyone here has bled during early pregnancy and everything turned out ok?

I did with both of my pregnancies.

First was light, spotting, but last est a while.

Second was a huge loss of blood at 10 weeks which quite frankly made me think it was game over. I then agreed to take place in the prism trial-to this day I'm not sure if it was the placebo or progesterone

I haven’t but friends have. I believe about 20% of healthy pregnancies experience bleeding at some point.

I did. Normal “period”, I didn’t know I was pregnant though so not stressed at all. It was only when clothes got tighter that I tested. Had cramping throughout pregnancy off and on- towards the end diagnosed Braxton Hicks.

All absolutely fine with baby.

Hope all goes well, OP.

I didn’t realise I was pregnant until I was almost three months because I’d had periods (I thought) at the right times…DS1 and DS2 (although with DS2 I cottoned on a bit quicker so managed to have a scan at 13 weeks…DS1 was 20 weeks at my ‘12 week scan’). Both healthy full term babies.

Yes I bled at 4/5 weeks (actually thought it was my period) then 6-7 weeks and baby was perfectly fine and no more bleeding.

I bled at 6 weeks. Went on to have a healthy baby born at term.
