(WARNING TMI) 5wks pregnant and need advice 🙏

[Kayleys27]

Hi everyone I'm new to netmums..

So I found out I am pregnant today! ( AMAZING news!)
If I'm right I should be 5-6 weeks pregnant.

I am a little confused as I have had very light pink blood when I wiped down below around 4 days ago, And today brown with the slightest tinge of pink!?

I have experienced uncomfortable/not painful cramps and bubble like motions in my lower abdomen.
I have been suffering with nausea and feel exhausted also itchy skin?
Headaches / Migraines and constipated a lot!
But no other symptoms I would expect sore breasts but that hasn't happened.

Does anybody know what the bleeding is ? Is that normal? It wasn't enough to penetrate a panty liner it was a very small amount.
Has anyone else experienced these symptoms or can you tell me what you did experience so I feel a little more at ease

This is mumsnet 😁.

If you’re worried, mention it to your midwife or give your doc a ring in the morning.

😂😂 oops lol I'll try and fix that 😬, I have made an appointment with the doctor and they are aware. I just feel desperate to speak to someone who has experienced something like this. Waiting to see the doctor will feel like torture.

Its probably implantation bleeding which is where the embryo sac starts to bury into the wall of the uterus and happens around the time your period is due - perfectly normal for some and doesn't happen for others

Bubbles are fine too, hormonal changes to your vascular smooth muscle cells if i recall correctly

I used to also get lots of veiny blue lines across my body, arms, breasts etc but everyone is different
Enjoy!

Thank you Flumpybear 🌼
Sometimes just speaking to someone else who has had the same symptoms makes you feel a little more at ease 😊... My

I'm going to have a read about Implantation Bleeding tonight .
My breasts just feel different , Just a tiny bit bigger maybe but nothing much. I have noticed on the inside of my upper arm my veins are more prominent than before so possibly a symptom for me too ! 😂

Just hoping that these uncomfortable cramps/bubbling are not the start of a MC.

I had some bleeding during my first trimester. Generally (TMI) after a bowel movement or having sex. It was cervical bleeding, caused by the massive increase in hormones in the early stages of pregnancy. It's very common and not a threat to your pregnancy. Obviously I can't say whether yours is this, but just to add a little reassurance, particularly if it is light/only on wiping and not accompanied by any painful cramping. I let my GP know every time I had a bleed (from 4 weeks onwards) and when I was about 7 weeks they referred me to the Early Pregnancy Unit for a scan and we saw a heartbeat and that was reassuring, but we did have a bit of a rocky ride for the first trimester.

I'm now almost 22 weeks though and feeling my baby move around, so we've made it this far. I had a small bleed recently and had to go in so the midwives could check baby's heartbeat was ok, but all was fine and every scan has been uneventful and everyone seems happy with how things are progressing, so blood isn't always the terrible news you might think. Please do see your GP though, they will be able to assess you and advise you far better than anyone on the Internet.

Just to add that I did have stretching/cramping sensations and bubbling feelings and the GP said that was normal in early pregnancy but to call if I had period type pain accompanied by heavier bleeding.
