Scared

[Sho2207]

Hiya, I'm 6 weeks today and had an early scan yesterday morning due to brown discharge starting nearly a week ago. I noticed before the scan that the brown had started to turn into a red and was more of a bleed but only when wiping. The scan went well and I saw the flutter of a heartbeat, they want me back in 2 weeks to make sure everything is progressing.
Since the scan yesterday I've started to develop cramps and more red bleeding, only comes out when I go to the toilet so not heavily but still quite worrying.
I'm upset because I don't understand how I saw the heartbeat yesterday but having bleeding and cramps today.
I called the epu and asked if they could bring the scan forward to next week so I'm not worrying myself silly and they didn't seem too bothered and just said that the symptoms didn't seem like they changed dramatically since yesterday. I've been told to keep an eye on it.

I just really need some reassurance at the moment, it's been a rollercoaster of a week and the little heartbeat made me feel so happy, but now I'm back to worrying again 😖

I had similar a couple of weeks ago but my epu weren't doing reassurance scans so I booked myself in private.

They said that bleeding happens in more successful pregnancies than not which i found reassuring. They also said as long as it's not dripping down leg / soaking pad type amount.... it wont be anything to worry about.

I hope that helps some? And sending love x

I had the same after bowel movements in the early weeks, including cramps so bad I almost passed out and vomitted.

Called the EPU and they said it's normal as long as there's not enough blood to soak a pad/doesn't look as heavy as a period.

Now 25 weeks and all is fine.

Oh wow really?
It's not yet to the point of dripping apart from when I go to the toilet, but even then it's only 2-3 drops. I've had a pad on since I got up this morning and it's nowhere near even filled.
I'm just worrying because I don't feel like I'm having any symptoms anymore either, I still feel super hungry and bloated but that's it really.
Thank you!
How did the private scan go? Xx

@erised
These cramps aren't as bad as yours sounded! Sorry to hear you went through that pain!
But they are still there.
Aw I'm glad everything is good!
It's just worrying because I really do feel like I'm just having my normal period

@Sho2207 scan was fine 👍 still snuggly in there and happy as Larry for now :)

I also had an easing of symptoms where my boobs weren't as sore anymore at the same time but they are back with a vengeance and I'm bloated to all hell but everything is ok and fingers crossed that's the same for you too xxx

@Lyris oh good I'm so glad!☺️
I really hope so 🙏🏻 I've already had one mc so I don't think I'm mentally prepared for another so soon!
I think I'm just more confused as to why I started bleeding last week when the baby's heartbeat was seen yesterday and now it's fresh blood 🤷🏻‍♀️ very confusing, surely the baby can't have died overnight. I just wish the next scan I have isn't 2 weeks away, although I've got the time off work so I can just rest up and try to stay positive xxx

Hi I've had similar. Im 11 week's today. Had a private scan at 8 weeks. All fine. Pregnancy been plain sailing up to yesterday. Noticed some very pale pink spotting when wiping. On and off all day. Progressed to more of a red/ brown with a few tiny clots but only when I wipe and nothing on pants at all. Even if i go hours without going to the toilet. No pain or cramping. Rang my epu they said it's common and not to worry but just monitor and call back if it's soaking a pad or if im in any pain. It's just horrible. I can't think straight. My OH keeps saying not to worry but I'm sick with worry. 😢
