Did your baby bleed after 8 week immunisations?

Hi I'm a little worried as my DD's leg bled a little after her 8 week immunisations recently which never happened with my other two children so I was a little concerned. The doctor worried me further when she asked whether my DD bled a lot after Her heel prick, which was more than my other children. The doctor then suggested that if this happens again at the next lot of injections (12 weeks) that my DD would need blood tests to check for a blood clotting problem. Now I am going out of my mind with worry and have tried to google it (which I know I shouldnt) and this is only adding to my worries. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! TIA

Please don't google!

DD bled a lot from one leg, because the nurse hit a vein which could have very easily happened to you, the doctor just wouldn't have been happy to admit it. The midwife would have picked up on excessive bleeding at the heel prick test so please don't sit there scaring yourself silly!
