Long post sorry-

Hi all, went for my reassurance scan at 7 weeks on Friday due to previous medical/pregnancy history.

I got told baby was fine growing aways nicely thought I was 7 weeks but baby was measuring at 6 wks, measurements and all was reassuring, she explained I may have ovulated later than I thought.

Midwife went on to explain about a SCH which I had didn't go much into detail just said we shall review in 3 weeks.

Today, this morning I've had spotting like mucus brown spotting when wiping, now when wiping it's brown and light red colour.

I called EPU, they didn't think any concern from it and wasn't necessary to go in.

I can't stay off google it's frustrating, I don't know what to think, my automatic thought goes to another MC.

It's not filling a pad at all I've had on all day, I don't want to keep calling the EPU I don't want them to get frustrated with me constantly calling for reassurance.

I don't know the answer I'm looking for tbh, if you made it this far thank you got listening to me rant ❤️

All I can do is pray and hope for the best outcome,
Thanks all ❤️‍🩹🤞🏻

The NHS have a very hands off approach with SCH's. I had one with my second pregnancy, first bled at 13 weeks and it stopped around 18 weeks. It was a mix of bright red, dark and light brown. During that time I avoided heavy lifting, no sex and just taking life a bit easier. I drunk lots of water and orange juice 😊 I've read that pomegranate juice can help so maybe worth a shot!

Take care and keep positive xxxx
