I’m just over 5 weeks pregnant with my first pregnancy. Yesterday I had a small amount of dark red blood in my underwear and then some bright red red blood when I wiped. Since then I have had a little more dark red stringy discharge when wiping. I have also had an mild aching sensation around the area of the uterus, not dissimilar to the beginnings of period cramps, however I have had these mild sensations since the beginning of my pregnancy. Interestingly I have also noticed a tingling sensation in my cervix.
I’m obviously concerned this could indicate miscarriage, but I have also heard this can be normal in early pregnancy. I feel like I’m in a bit of a limbo either waiting for it to get worse or go away. I don’t really want to rush to contact my GP as from what I’ve read there isn’t much they can do if it is a miscarriage at this stage, but am planning to monitor it over the next few days and contact them if necessary.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced this with either positive or negative outcomes? I’m hopeful that I’m still pregnant but equally prepared for the worst, as I know miscarriage is common in early pregnancy. Any advice appreciated....?
