Spotting at almost 7 weeks

[Blueeyedgirrl81]

Hi there,
Guess I’m looking for a little reassurance. I have been experiencing bad constipation for the last 2-3 weeks. One two occasions I have experienced spotting after straining. The first time was Sunday and I went for an early scan at the EPU yesterday that showed that everything is fine. There was a heartbeat and it is measuring at approx 8mm. However, I have experienced spotting again today and I’m not sure what to do and if I’m being irrationally concerned. This is my first pregnancy following a miscarriage in 2018.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

I spotted during my pregnancy and bleed a lot, its not uncommon and he's now 2.5. It does tend to happen when you poo, try a few diet tweaks to ease the constipation. I found plenty of orange juice worked.
If they scan you and see a heartbeat theres only a small chance of miscarriage.

Thanks @fedupandlookingforchange. I really appreciate your response. I have been taking lactulose, orange juice and lots of fruit and vegetables on top of lots of water. I need to try and relax. It doesn’t help that I still haven’t heard from the midwives team but then I know that they’re severely overstretched with this pandemic.

It depends where you are some start at 8 weeks others not until 10 weeks or later and the booking in appt is just a lot of questions.
I hope it eases in a few days and I'm sure you'll hear from the midwives soon
