16 weeks cramping and pink discharge.

Super stressed. I hope I'm just constipated and the straining is making my cervix bleed or something.
I had this at around 12 weeks but I've been blood free for a month now.
Super stressed and feel really miserable.
I've seen the heartbeat and everything look fine but the cramps are weird.
I have a private scan Saturday so not long to wait to make sure everything is safe but unless the cramps and blood disappear its going to be a long 3 days.

Oh poor you, have you contacted your maternity unit or midwife? When I was pregnant 16 weeks was the point at which we were to phone triage if there was a problem. I think I'd call about the cramps certainly. And IF the worst were to happen, sixteen weeks is quite far along, you might medical attention.

Hope all is well Thanks

Can’t offer any advice I’m afraid, but hope you’re ok OP x

The pink discharge/spotting left as soon as it came.
I cramped lightly for a bit yesterday afternoon, felt better, then a little crampy again but woke up feeling better. I was a but crampy this afternoon again but only for an hour and after doing some housework.
Trying to take it easy and not worry too much. I'm thinking it might just be mg belly stretching or hoping it's that mundane anyway.
Scan in like 40 hours 😂 not that I'm counting or anything. That will definitely make me feel better.

I had discharge like that at 18 weeks, it was just due to the baby kicking around to make room for himself. Good luck at your scan x

I had my scan today.
We're having another little boy!
Got home, a bit more cramping (i think I confuse it with need the toilet, I always do this with period cramping too) tried to go to the toilet with nothing happening but then some more blood. Not a massive amount but gosh it still stresses me.
I'm pretty sure I'm cramping because of growing pains, confusing it for needing the toilet, and the unnecessary straining is causing my cervix to bleed.
Otherwise it would be a massive coincidence that I only bleed while trying to go to the toilet.
This has happened on and off throughout this pregnancy but it doesn't make me feel any better.
Everything looked exactly how it should do on baby so I don't really think anything bad is going to spontaneously happen at this stage.
I have my 16 midwife appointment on Thursday where I should get to hear the heartbeat and my 20 week scan in 3 and a half weeks. At least then will keep me sane and hopefully I'll learn to stop bloody straining so much or the bleeding will stop.
