Bleeding after 12 week scan

Hello, I am 12+5 currently. Throughout my pregnancy so far I have had around 4 bleeds, varying from red - brown. After every bleed the baby has been fine and a heart beat has been detected. I had my 12 week scan yesterday and at the scan they did say they can see a slight trace of bleeding - but nothing near the baby and nothing to worry about. Baby was wriggling around, looking healthy and had a strong heartbeat. The sonographer was scanning, prodding for about 30 minutes as the baby wasn't cooperating in the position she wanted. About 2-3 hours after the scan I had red bleeding, then it suddenly stopped. This morning I have had slight brown bleeding. I have informed the hospital and they can get me back in next week but only allow one scan a week.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Its really worrying seeing blood, especially when it's red but I can only hope things are still ok.

I had a slight bleed at 10 weeks and they said there was a slight tear in the placenta but by my 12 week they thought it had healed.

Could you possibly get a private scan? I've had a few as I have bad anxiety and have found that at a number of them the person doing the scan is able to give proper medical guidance rather than just getting good pictures.

Sorry I know that's not masses of help but maybe a private scan would just help ease any worry

If they said they could see evidence of a bleednon the scan then its very likely to be that bleed coming out, its probably been disturbed by the scan and has made its way out

Thanks both. @EllieJai44 I was thinking that, I’m guessing that’s possible for the bleed to be disturbed?
Thanks
