Hi if all goes to plan this will be DC2. I remember some spotting last time I was pregnant but not this early. Am shitting myself and not sure how I can stay positive...

I had slight pink spotting at 5 weeks - went to epu and they scanned and found heartbeat. Had heavier red spotting with clots at 7 weeks - scan showed consistent growth and am now 32 weeks...

Obviously sometimes it can be bad news but it isn't always so good luck and thinking of you. xx

Thanks yellow I remember you from the TTC threads well done for getting this far.

Maybe I should go and see my GP.

Did have mild spotting last pregnancy just think it was a bit later on. TMI Alert - It seems to happen mainly when I do a no 2.

Aw thank you. Can't quite believe all okay so far and 8 weeks left...

Good luck - am sur eyou will be fine. Thinking of you. Number 2s def shake it all up down there - the spotting could even be coming from the back?

Are you in London - I found uch early pregnancy unit very nice and you can turn up and get scan.

Doctor says its not normal but common and I probably won't get a scan for a week. Need to keep calm but not doing a good job on that.

Yellow I had a scan today and needed one of those internal cameras but baby was found with a heartbeat. A bit smaller than she was expecting but am concentrating on heartbeat.

Need to go back in 3 weeks to see what is happening.

That is great, esp since HB was seen so early! It was probably blood from implantation. I had this about a week after finding out I was preg and all was fine.

Hi, i am in a similar situation, bleeding after going for a number 2 (sorry) at 5 weeks - only started today and im so scared.
Did you ask for a scan or did the doctor offer you one? Ive got the doctors today at 4.45, i just checked and i thought the bleeding had stopped but in fact its getting heavier :(

I had a bit of spotting last week and in a fit of panic called the out of hours GP (was late night). They were really sympathetic and booked me in for a scan at the earliest opportunity, which was 2 days later. Thankfully everything was ok, heartbeat seen, but no cause for bleeding.

Some EPUs are self-referral, others want referral from GP. Just give your GP a ring or ring the hospital and ask.

Fingers crossed for you.
