Handhold (TW bleeding in early pregnancy)

[chillybandits]

I'm around 6 weeks 5 days pregnant after trying for almost a year, had some back/shoulder pain last night but not felt it today. Just went to the toilet before bed and I have lots of discharge and bleeding and my stomach is so sore 😭 I'm so scared, on hold to NHS24 for advice and I can't hold back the tears. Is anyone awake? DH starts work at 4am so he's sleeping and I don't know if I should wake him up. I'm so worried 😭

I wasn't awake, but hopefully others will see this now and give you some support. I hope that you are getting some help now, what an awful worry.

I hope this resolves and you have a healthy pregnancy, some bleeding is perfectly nornal.

However, as you mention shoulder pain, I really recommend ringing your local EPU or going to A&E because this is sometimes a sign of an ectopic pregnancy. I don't want to scare you, but you should get this checked out and hopefully it's nothing.

Do mention the shoulder pain to anyone you speak to about this.

I'm so sorrY. How are you doing now?That must be hugely stressful. Please get help. Lots of hugs and best wishes!!

hello, I was sent to A&E and was there till about 6am before being sent home with a referral to the EPU, they've just called and I have a scan this morning so hoping it'll be okay but still quite crampy and bleeding ☹️

@ZoeQ90 thank you, I said to them and think that's why they want me in asap as the pain was really bad the other night, i had to take painkillers to try and sleep with it - never felt a pain like it
