AIBU to request a midwife sees me in person?

[RPH2023]

I am currently around 6 weeks pregnant and on Sunday night started bleeding, lightly, but enough to cause me concern. Yesterday morning I called my local EPAU and spoke to a midwife who asked a few questions and decided over the phone, without seeing me, that her advice would be to leave the bleeding “well alone” and to do a pregnancy test again in a few weeks. Am I right in thinking this is terrible advice and somewhat negligent?
I tried to push further for an examination or scan but was met with quite a dismissive attitude that this is “probably just implantation bleeding” and nothing more. My concern is that it could be more. I am not in pain and am aware it could be implantation bleeding but it doesn’t sit well with me that I was told to essentially just see what happens.
FWIW this is my fourth baby and I am well experienced in trips to maternity units. Last year with my third baby I experienced the same early bleeding and was asked to go straight to hospital, was seen by a doctor and then had a scan. This is the same hospital trust. I am still bleeding on and off. AIBU to call back and request to be seen in person?

You’re only 6 weeks. Even if something is wrong (I hope not), there is nothing they can do. They probably won’t even be able to detect a heartbeat yet. The advice they have given is acceptable.

So many pregnancies sadly end at this early stage (1 in 4 I think?). It’s only light bleeding so good luck and I hope everything is well.

I think her advice is spot on, fingers crossed all is well in a couple of weeks.

Sorry op but I think yabu.

Even if something is going wrong, a scan or exam isn't going to change that. Wait and see what happens us the best approach unless something happens meaning you really should be checked...but if the bleeding or pain were excessive or you'd felt dizzy or unwell or something then I imagine they'd have told you to go in.

Sorry this is causing you stress OP. But, having lost multiple pregnancies, this seems to be a pretty standard approach to early bleeding. It feels like a really crap response when you're feeling so concerned but I understand it given how common early bleeding is (for a number of reasons). I wasn't quite so rational about it when I was going through it though.

Wishing you well for your pregnancy x

This is pretty standard…

Thank you all. This has really helped me see things from a different perspective. I guess it’s just such a different response to last year that I was taken aback by the seeming lack of concern. She did advise if things got worse to go in of course. Fingers crossed all is well. I am only 4 months post C-section so am also aware it could be related to internal scarring.

Is it because it is so soon after your c section getting pregnant,is that why you are worried? I presume you have already seen your gp to confirm this pregnancy?
