Really need some early pregnancy reassurance..

[Saz444]

Hi everyone, I am looking for some reassurance as I am a complete anxious wreck. I am currently 7w 2d pregnant with my first baby. I had a missed miscarriage last year at 6 weeks and found out at early scan just over 7 weeks. This pregnancy is a fertility treatment baby and it has taken us a long time to get this far.

Last Friday at just under 6 weeks I had a bleed after a bowel movement (sorry tmi), I called clinic who gave me an early scan and we saw a good heartbeat at 6w 3days. Last night the same thing happened after a bowel movement and I am so so worried. The clinic can't see me until Friday for a scan and I am sitting paranoid that my symptoms are disappearing and I don't feel as pregnant anymore. I don't know how to keep calm, surely a bleed can't mean anything good? I hate being so worried and just need some company or people with reassurance?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help. X

Surely it's related to your bowel. Could be piles or a fissure?

Was you bleeding from your back passage or vagina?
I’ve had miscarriages in the past and still had a bit of bleeding during my last pregnancy (he is now 3) so bleeding doesn’t always mean the worst.
If you’re really worried I would suggest calling your EPAU or GP to get another early scan.
But try to take things easy if you can, put your feet up

Posted too soon. Book in with your gp. It's unlikely that it's pregnancy related but if you're bleeding from the back passage, you'll want to resolve that. Piles are so common in pregnancy. It's a bit early to develop them but it could be the case.

Congratulations.

I’m currently 8 weeks and 2 days and had a bleed after a bowel movement at about 6 and a half weeks. It was only spotting but lasted 5 days. Went into a panic but have had 2 scans now (one at 7 weeks and one yesterday at 8+1) and both showed a heartbeat and a seemingly healthy baby
Midwife didn’t seem too concerned, I think it’s fairly common to bleed a little in early pregnancy (and straining from a bowel movement can cause it) but if it’s a lot or painful then definitely get checked out again.
As for lack of symptoms, I have no pregnancy symptoms either which has worried me. I was very tired in the first couple of weeks but that’s gone now and had no sickness at all... some people are just lucky I guess!
Try not to panic... fingers crossed all is well on Friday x

Please try not to worry OP. I have several bleeds after a bowel movement. Remember that pregnancy slows down your digestive system and your body can become constipated and therefore when you do finally go it can tear down there and cause a small bleed. Unless the bleeding is heavy I would really try not to worry and just relax. I’m 21 weeks now and I’m still getting tears down there when my body won’t let me go some days!
