Scan okay at 8+2 - still bleeding. Help?!

[Nikki1811]

I'm currently 8+6, and since 6+5 I've been having some spotting. It's been fairly light, with some cramping and occasional bright red blood, but never really enough to go on my underwear.

The Early Pregnancy Assessment Service got my in for a scan on Boxing Day just to check everything was okay, and everything was developing as it should and I could see my wee babies heartbeat. They suggested it could have been implantation bleeding coming away now that the pregnancy was 'stretching out'.

Since then, I've been spotting just the same, but this morning I've woken up with some staining on my underwear and PJ bottoms. When I went to the toilet, I had some bright red blood and a small clot.

Is it possible everything is okay? If I'm miscarrying, should there be more blood? I've put a towel on and I know if I'm soaking through a couple in an hour I've to go to a&e. I know if I'm is miscarrying there isn't anything I can really do...I'm just so so scared. This is my first pregnancy and was planned.

If anyone has any experience with bleeding throughout a healthy pregnancy, I would really appreciate hearing from you.

There may have been a blood clot in the womb that wasn’t visible at your scan that’s now come out.

Monitor the bleeding (it may well now stop) and if you’re concerned, call epau again for another scan x

P.s my friend bled in both of her pregnancies and her children are now 6&4 x

Please try not to stress and worry easier said then done I started bleeding at 7 weeks I went straight to the early pregnancy unit had a scan could see baby heart beating away moving around the lady who done my scan really did make me expect the worse went back a week later again baby still there heart beating away I was still bleeding but I wasn't seeing any blood leave my body and again told to expect the worse I was booked back in for 2 weeks later and baby was there heart beating growing to correct size and bleeding had stop no one knows what the bleeding was they said it was a big bleed but I only ever saw blood the first time I went, so just take it easy you can bleed I was told it very common and you can still go on to have a healthy baby
