8 weeks 2 episodes of bleeding in the past week

[Sam38x]

Hi

I had spotting last week for a day while away on holiday and now a week later (yesterday) I had it again but more of a pinky red.

I called the midwife line who advised me not to worry unless it’s a large amount or I am having intense cramping. Is this right? In my first pregnancy I was given a scan by my Gp the same day

I had loads of bleeding during my pregnancies. I had a subchoronic haematoma (sp?) basically is resolved over the first trimester.

You can self refer to the early pregnancy unit for a scan.

@Twizbe Yeah that’s what I had with my first but they sent me for a scan the same day to check what caused it. This time they are saying they will only refer with heavy bleeding or cramps (I live in a new area) and can’t self refer to the EPU near me it has to be done by midwife or doc :( just worrying it’s twice now

@Sam38x I would assume that they just, unfortunately, have little time to do such early scans when, if in fact it is a miscarriage, they literally can't do anything anyway. Hence asking you to keep an eye on it.

@Regenbogen22 Yeah I understand but as it’s an early pregnancy unit especially for these problems I thought it would be more accessible (when I lived in London was seen the same day) just going to worry now

I’ll try the GP instead tomorrow

@Sam38x any luck with the GP?

Hope alls ok.

Iv had it loads of times in this pregnancy and my last. In both pregnancies it stopped before the second trimester and hasn’t happened since I’m 20 weeks now and it hasn’t happened since 11/12 weeks. I did have early scans because of it and all was always ok with both pregnancies. Our cervix are very sensitive in early pregnancy due to all these hormones floating around. If your worried ask for another scan or book a private one
