11 weeks - Area of bleed

[Jen8888]

I'm really hoping someone can help or offer advice, either from a medical opinion or someone who has been through similar.

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and have had sporadic light bleeding, therefore a couple of early reassurance scans.

Both of which have identified a clot or area of bleed next to the baby.

I'm terrified.

I had one and it was reabsorbed by 20 weeks.

Hi

I had similar, bled on and off for a few weeks whilst the bleed reabsorbed. Its a terrifying time but the advice given was rest as much as possible and no sex till your 2 weeks with no bleeding and to Take your folic acid at night around 8pm. (No idea why so specific).

For reassurance im now 28+6 with bump measuring on the 97th centile so bleed hasn't done any harm.

Try to keep calm and positive, easier said than done i know xx

I had one - I started bleeding right before 12 weeks. I then bleed every couple of weeks for a couple of days. My last bleed was just around 18 weeks, where I had a very big bleed that lasted a week. My scan at 20 weeks showed it had been reabsorbed\expelled, and I'm now 27 weeks.

I had 5 heavy bleeds before 13w. An area of bleed showed up on the scan I had (due to assumed miscarriage) at 9w and again at 12w. My last bleed was the day before my 12w scan. I had another scan at 16w (due to a different scare!) - baby was fine and no area of bleed mentioned, so it seems to have stopped. Fingers crossed it goes ok for you.

Thank you everyone xx

Hi I’ve been in the same position with a bleed that started at 8 weeks and went on sporadically for about another 8. My first bleed was a big gush while on a weekend away so v scary! As others have experienced mine also seems to have reabsorbed and I now have a healthy 3 year old! It was very scary and I took it very easy, minimised walking, took taxis to work etc until it resolved. Hope all goes well for you - take care x
