Bleeding 8 weeks

Hi. I'm 8 and a half weeks pregnant. I've been napping on the sofa. I stood up and felt wet rush out from down below.

Went to the loo and found quite a bit of blood.

I'm not in any pain although I feel a bit off, but that might just be the shock. The blood seemed quite watery and its seems to have been just the one lot. I'm guessing it pooled while I was asleep.

Should I seek medical help? Or just see what happens. I'm on my own with my one year old. My period would have been due around now. Not sure if that could be related to it. I had two positive tests after my first missed period but I haven't seem a midwife yet.

Any advice would be appreciated as not sure what to do.

Thanks

Hi OP. Gosh that must be scary! I'd contact EPU if you can and try and get some medical advice xx

I’ve had spotting every week for a few days during weeks 6-11 so far, last scan with EPU showed all was fine at 9 weeks with no explanation for spotting. I’d go to your gp and get an early scan with the EPU to put your mind at ease. Hope all goes ok OP.

Thanks, that's good to know.

Had a scan today. Baby is fine. Turns out I've got an extra little bit of womb. The extra womb shed its lining because the baby isn't using that bit. So I had a sort of period.
