Basically I had my second baby 4 months ago in April, I have since had 1 period at the beginning of June, since then me and fiancé have not been using contraception, not trying but not not trying for a baby if you get me. Silly me however doesn't pay attention to very much and so last week suddenly had a thought that I hadn't had a period since June. My periods were irregular after first child so didn't think much of it but thought I better do a pg test just in case. Did two cheap ones both pregnant so did a clear blue and came up with 2-3 weeks pg. obviously we were thrilled until yesterday when I started lightly bleeding but as it was light I didn't panic. Woke up this morning however and had a little 'gush' when I went to the loo and bleeding has been dark red and slimy since, not overly heavy but enough to warrant a sanitary towel.
Anyway, after extensive googling to which I found, might be a miscarriage, might be any number of things, I did another pg test, a clearblue one, this would be a week after the last one, the one today however showing pregnant, 1-2 weeks?? I have been to the doctor and told him this and I have a scan booked tomorrow morning to which to doc said 'you will know by then if there's anything in there'.
Now I am so terrified that I am miscarrying, although have had no paint I just can't wait Til tomorrow, I will not sleep a wink tonight from worrying. Has anyone had similar experience? Thanks :) x

Hi. I had similar bleeding, no pain on and off for first 8 weeks. Baby was born full term, no problems. Also, clear blue dating is not accurate. Said I was 5 weeks with second child, but his was 2 weeks more than dating scan. If you are only a few weeks pregnant, the scan may not show much anyway. My epi won't scan until 7 weeks. Fingers crossed for you.x

Thank you so much, it's such a relief to know others pregnancies go full term with bleeding. keeping my fingers crossed something shows. Again, thank you, this is such a confusing time! X
