9 weeks pregnant but been bleeding for 3 weeks

Found out I was pregnant last week as I thought I was having a messed up period. This is my first pregnancy and totally unplanned.
The doctor didn't seem too concerned that I was having bleeding as she said it can be my body just trying to bleed and that it's called a threatened miscarriage.
I've got a scan on monday but feeling slightly nervous so looking for some advice from anybody who's had anything similar.

The bleeding has been pretty much everyday for 3 weeks but never heavy, more like the end of a period but with the need of a pad or just very light pink on the tissue. Haven't had any serious cramping just very mild period like pains - not as bad as period pain I would say.

I've found that the bleeding is more in the morning tailing off throughout the day, and if I drink more the bleeding almost disappears (not sure if that has anything to do with it) but returns the next day.

I've just finished antibiotics for a urine infection and having blood tests to check for anemia and thyroid.

Any positive comments anyone, I'm panicking what the scan is going to show even though it was totally unplanned I don't want it to be bad news.

Sorry you're experiencing this you must be quite worried, not all bleeding in pregnancy is bad...My friend got her periods for the first 3 months of her pregnancy, she didn't know she was pregnant because of this and found out after 12 weeks, baby was fine!

A lot of women have spotting and it's quite common. Unfortunately in some cases spotting can indicate a miscarriage but you won't know until you've had a scan, really hoping everything is ok for you x

I'm 9w too and have been spotting and bleeding from week 5. Mostly just brown spotting but I did have a big red bleed on Thursday and thought the worst. Scan on Thursday showed the little jelly wriggling around with a strong heartbeat. The EPU said it can be really common, and for no known reason. If it is bright red get it checked out.
