Any positive stories about spotting for a few days? I started spotting last week on and off just a light yellowy brown, it's still there sometimes when wiping, I'm around 7 weeks now and scan next Tuesday. I just can't help but worry xxx

I had spotting with DD - I rushed to hospital the first time in a panic and had a thorough check but all was fine
She will be 19 next month!

Have you ever had to have a colposcopy?
I ask because I had some spotting early on and they said it was the scar tissue becoming irritated where the cervix was stretching and baby was fine.

This makes so much sense! I had this and had some light spotting (brown mostly). Now 21 weeks and doing well.

Please check out my positive story thread. I also had bleeding in my current pregnancy and now 14+5 weeks and everything well so far 🥰

Thanks soo much for your replies! :)

I was at the EPU (early pregnancy unit) around nearly 2 weeks ago and the lady performed a vaginally examination due to me having some pains. She took a swab and looked at my cervix, then a few days later is when I noticed the very light brown spotting so maybe I could of been from the examination now I think of it! 🙈
I'm around 7 weeks now. Haven't spotted for 2 days since I wrote this post so fingers crossed xx

Thanks for the positive stories! ❤️ I have my follow up ultrasound this upcoming Tuesday, I'm praying and hoping everything is well 🙏 ❤️

I had a lot of spotting until about 5 months with DC1. With DC2 I had spotting that became a massive gushing bleed which then tapered off over about 48 hours.

Both now super healthy pre teens that have barely had a day of illness since birth.

I was told while not necessarily ‘normal’ it’s very common. Another thing that I found reassuring was that the blood is coming from you, not the baby. Seems obvious now but was helpful at the time when panic overrides reason.

Hi all, I have been spotting for over a week. Very light brown, which is completely normal for me anywhere between 3-7 days on the lead up to my cycle. However this time I physically felt different and my gut told me to take a pregnancy test. To my surprise it was positive 2-3 weeks. My husband will be overjoyed and I planned to tell him on our upcoming anniversary next week. But this morning I awoke to a pain on my left side that I was sleeping on and there was red blood when I wiped. It then turned to brown again and I have no pain. I had a heavy bleed in my pregnancy over 10 years ago with my daughter due to a fibroid. I don’t know if this could be related or whether I am going through something more sinister. I am extremely worried and unsure what to do. Any advice would be so appreciated xx

Yes spotting from 7wks then big bleed at 13wks . Heavy spotting on and off up until 20wks. Probably due to twin pregnancy and lost one very early on which caused intermittent bleeding.
DS will be 20 next month.

UPDATE:

I had my scan yesterday and saw a healthy little bubba measuring 7 weeks 5 days! It was sooo magical!

Thank you for all your positive stories. For me the spotting stopped not long after I posted this ❤️

Wow, that's amazing. I did have hope for you 🥰 did they find a cause? try not to panic if it does happen again though as mine did come back a few times but as I knew the cause I tried not to panic too much. Easier said than done though. Always best to get checked! X

I'm so glad for you!
