So Wednesday Midwives advised me to go to a&e as I had the tiniest bit of old blood and pain on my left side, the night before I also had very light pink when I wiped from a wee. We ended up seeing bubba with a healthy beating heart and estimated me around 6 weeks pregnant. They also said I have a UTI so on antibiotics. That night after we got home I went to the toilet and had quite abit of fresh blood... enough to fill the tissue pretty much everytime I wiped, we rushed back to hospital but never got seen because there was no doctor on the early pregnancy ward at that time (was 12am). The bleeding had stopped as soon as we got to hospital and didn’t bleed for another 4 hours and when I did it was old blood. There was also no pain. Was on the phone to hospital yesterday.. they said if it was a miscarriage I’d definitely know and if it doesn’t stop bleeding at the rate it was I have to ring back Monday to go in for scan, if it stops just have to wait until our 12week scan to see if baby is ok. This made me very relieved as I had hardly no pain and not much blood. Then last night I got some moderate period pains... and quite a lot of blood, I’d say pretty much just as much as a period and has been same throughout the night up until now.. only the pain has eased off a little.
I am panicking as now I have no idea what’s going if I am having a miscarriage or not!! Has anyone else has something similar and baby ended up being healthy and nothing to worry about??
I still have breast tenderness/pain but that’s the only thing giving me a little hope at the moment. Just want baby to be ok 😩😩

I’ve had bright red bleeding throughout (from week 4). I’m now 9+3 and everything seems fine so far. I guess I won’t know for sure until I have another scan at 14 weeks. I’ve also been told the same thing repeatedly; unless the bleeding is very heavy with clots and pain there’s no need to worry.

Sorry you’re going through this. I hope everything is okay. xxx

I'm in the same situation kinda, I got a faint positive last week then brought a low HCg on Sunday which came back faint again but more clear. I then started bleeding. It's not heavy and every soo often tiny clots. I'm still bleeding but it's honestly not much. I took another test today which is still a faint positive. I have the doctors calling me soon

I had a big bleed at around 6 weeks. It was a subchorionic haemorrhage. My “baby” is now 7 (and a half!)

Sorry to hear this is happening to you, it must be very worrying for you.
I had a bleed around 7 weeks. Completely out of no where... Went to the toilet, wiped and there was a big red gush of fresh blood in the toilet and on the tissue! Obviously I completely freaked out.
I immediately spoke with the EPU who told me to monitor it but I didn't feel comfortable with just leaving it so I called back the following morning and got booked in for an early scan. (I had to wait a week for the appointment as it was a few days before Christmas and they couldn't see me until the 27th! The longest wait of my life!) Whilst I waited for the scan, I did have brown spotting so I was convinced it was bad news. Scan came around and they told me that it was a blood clot that had not affected baby at all. I had a bit more spotting a few days after my scan but it then stopped. I am now 36+5 days pregnant and looking forward to meeting my baby in the next few weeks Smile
Wishing you all the best, please keep us posted Flowers

That has made me feel more positive!! I'm not gonna get my hopes up though. Tests are still faint positives like they was Sunday

Hi everyone Thankyou for your replies. After a week of positive thinking and trying not to believe the worst, the worst unfortunately came true last night. Me and my partner buried our little one last night too as I just felt like I had to to maybe to try get over it quickly, I know it’s still early days but this is the worst pain I’ve ever felt (mentally). I am so so confused as it was only last week we saw our healthy baby with a beating heart and now it’s all gone. I am also so confused as everyone up the hospital was saying you’d know if it’s a miscarriage, there’s still not much blood and no clots, only had moderate period pains about an hour before baby come out, but when it did I knew it was our baby, I don’t even know what it was but it was a hard ball about the size of a strawberry with a cord attached. It just feels so unreal and I feel so empty. Sorry to be such a downer, I really have no idea what to do with myself, as soon as I found out I was pregnant at 3weeks my life changed and everything I did was about the baby, endless researching... now nothing. Thankyou for all your support and for the people who are going through the same as what I was when I posted this thread, please don’t give up hope, I’ve read so many positive stories about bleeding in early pregnancy. One bit of advice I wish I knew... try to stop reading up on things and as hard as it is just wait it out to see what is happening. Every pregnancy and miscarriages are different to everybody else’s. Just try not to stress yourself out and just relax, I wish I did even though that might of not stopped what happened.

Oh my, I'm so sorry for you my lovely! I had a CP a couple months ago and back in October! ❤️

I'm so sorry @Bluebutterflyy 💐

To second what bluebutterflyy advises, if anyone else find this thread and is going through worries like this, please don't assume the worst. I have had brown spotting since 6 weeks. At 8 weeks I then had bleeding and cramping. Immediately thought it was all over. Had a scan a few days later, and much to my surprise baby was fine and had a heartbeat. They couldn't see any reason for the bleed from the scan. Then at 10 weeks, I woke up in bed to a gush of blood. Rushed to the loo, cleaned myself up, and tried to make my way back to bed. I ended up fainting and falling down the stairs - I think I fainted due to panicking at the blood! Next day I had another scan, again expecting the worst. Baby was fine, a lot bigger than last scan, and was looking great. I'm now 11 weeks. Still not sure what is causing my bleeding but strongly suspect it is to do with my cervix. I have had an examination, which looked fine, and swabs were taken - awaiting the results from this! They did say that sometimes they just don't find out what causes bleeding, but it happens. Don't assume the worst.

@Bluebutterflyy I am so sorry to hear this has happened to you Sad. I agree, everyone's situations are completely different and although sometimes looking things up online can be helpful, it also opens you up to all sorts of alternatives and you don't know if you are coming or going. I think it is really lovely that you and your partner buried your little one too, I hope it helps you to grieve with your loss. Please do feel free to message me if you ever want to talk Flowers So sorry Xxx
