Bleeding at 12 weeks

[Mangotango123]

My husband and I had sex last Tuesday night - it felt uncomfortable and slightly painful - afterwards I had brown when I wiped on tissue.
I called my MW the next day and she said she felt it was a result of the sex. I had further brown on Thursday.

On Saturday morning I had pink when I wiped and over the weekend it became more prominent and I had a couple of spots in my knickers.

Yesterday it developed into red and is definitely blood now, but I am not bleeding heavily. I phoned MW who advised that because we have our 12 week scan tonight (Tues) it would be best to see what comes of that.

Its our first child and understandably I am so anxious about tonight, in fact I am dreading it. I would imagine most people look forward to their first image of baby but I am worried there will be bad news for us and I am extremely stressed about what tonight might bring.

Also my concern is furthered by lack of sore boobs - they were, up until a few weeks ago, really sore but are no longer now.

Can anyone offer any words of wisdom or encouragement?

Many thanks

Couldn’t read and run. I have to be realistic and say this could go either way. I had spotting that came and went and eventually turned red that was a miscarriage. I had similar spotting and bleeds at 6,7,9 (huge -filled a pad) and again at 19weeks - he’s currently asleep on my lap (3 weeks old). My symptoms came and went between 9 and maybe 16 weeks so they are not reliable, certainly boobs usually do not stay sore the whole time. Fingers crossed for your scan, will be thinking of you. Take care of yourself whatever the outcome.

Just messaging to wish you the best for tonight too.
I've had brown, pink then red that led to a miscarriage ( but all quite quickly - within a few days) and also red that turned out to be nothing baby related at all. Its such an anxious time and I think most people feel that stressed feeling on the day of that first scan.

I also agree that symptoms fluctuate day to day ( Mine are worse when I'm tired)

Thinking of you and hope you can relax a little bit this afternoon until you know more.

Thank you both, really kind.

We will just have to wait and see but it is unbelievable how stressful it is.

Apparently some women can have big bleeds or continuous bleeds and it’s normal so don’t panic just yet just try and keep as calm as possible. I had a 9 week reassurance scan and was told to expect more spotting/bleeding as I have a slight area of haemorrhage on other side of baby (no cause for worry she said). I did have a mmc at 8 weeks last year but looking back by my 12 week scan I felt as right as rain and had no symptoms really not even spotting. Whereas this time I’m so tired all time and cold and other things. I would agree with you on the boobs though, mine are still heavy but I feel like they aren’t getting any bigger now and don’t hurt at all? I have my 12 week scan tomorrow. Good luck and again just take every moment as it comes xxx

Also I totally get the stressfulness! I’m an anxious mess at the moment too, I had spotting during week 6 and it was horrendously worrying xxx
