Bleeding heavily everyday 9 weeks pregnant

Hi all I’m currently 9 weeks pregnant and I started bleeding at7 weeks. I’ve had two scans at epu and baby has been fine thankfully both times. The bleeding has gotten more regular like it’s everyday. I passed some quite large clots yesterday night. No pain really just a slight ache but nothing major. My concern is I feel like I’m not being taken seriously at the hospital especially as I seem to be loosing a lot of blood nearly 20 pads over past two days I have gone through . The bleeding had gone from light pink every other day to every day bright red clots and quite heavy. Any help or advice greatly appreciated thanks 😊

The good news is youve had two scans and both have been good. You cant change what will be, and neither can the drs.

bleeding can be quite common. Did they not take a blood test?

I’d go in again to the early pregnancy unit and ask if you can be given progesterone pesseries. I’d also ask for a another scan. Call Tommy’s the charity, they might have some helpful advice on how to advocate for yourself.

In my last pregnancy I was spotting right from the start, I had a scan at 6+5 that revealed I was pregnant and with twins. At 7+5 I had a huge gush (I thought I had wet myself) which was big bleed that lasted several days but a scan at 8+3 showed both babies doing well having grown and no reason for the bleeding could be seen. I continued to spot/bleed intermittently until 10 weeks where I again had another scan. Bleeding had settled by the 12 week scan but at around 14/15 weeks I had another bleed again I was absolute and utter nervous wreck the whole way through my pregnancy. My twins were born safe and healthy at 37+1.

My pregnancy previous to that I lost my son somewhere after 18 weeks. That loss started with a lot of pressure and some light pink blood on wiping until my son was born 48 hours later.

Sadly it can go both ways, but hold onto the small bit of comfort you can in knowing that you can bleed and everything can still be fine and that it doesn’t always mean the worst. The fact you have already had 2 good scans is very encouraging and statistically speaking after seeing a heartbeat the odds are in your favour.

I’ve since learned that bleeding in pregnancy is actually very common, and there can be a number of reasons it happens. In terms of the hospital there is little that they can do (in cases of recurring miscarriage they will sometimes prescribe progesterone or low dose aspirin etc) to save a pregnancy/prevent miscarriage at this stage other than scanning you to check the pregnancy is in the right location and viable.

My advice, and I know from experience this is incredibly difficult but try not to worry, do your best to relax and stay calm, drink plenty of water and rest. Call the EPU in the morning, explain the amount of blood loss you’ve had and request that you come in to be scanned, they should see you, mine were very good and saw me after each episode of bleeding.

Wishing you all the best 💐
