Early pregnancy bleeding

[Krugerdog]

I’ve been spotting since Thursday but not experiencing any cramping.

Although wearing a pad, it is empty and only finding blood on wiping and when doing a wee. In the past couple of days, I have also found small blood clots. Sometimes, the blood is light and minimal, other times it is a lot heavier like a period.

I am absolutely beside myself with worry; however, I had an early scan on Saturday and baby was found in the correct place with a healthy heartbeat.

Should I be preparing myself for the worst? Has anyone gone through anything similar to put my mind at rest?

Hello, how are you doing now? I am in a very similar situation.

I am currently 8 weeks pregnant as per LMP and 7 weeks from the CRL and scans.
4 days ago I began to have brown discharge without any pain. Naturally got worried as I've not had this with my first child. Booked a private scan and been told they can't identify the source but the baby is doing well with a strong heartbeat and growing.
2 days ago I started bleeding, its only when I wiped but red blood and small clots.
Booked another scan and been told again on Wednesday that everything looks okay.
Thursday afternoon comes and I pass a large cherry size clot dark red, maybe even bigger than a cherry. No pain whatsoever, bit of a pale pink fluid came out with it in the loo. I felt it but it was completely painless.
I had mild bleeding for a few hours after (only when wiping mostly not filling any pads) and today (Friday) absolutely no blood at all! All gone. I do have a scan booked for Monday 10am which seems like a long wait but I am just wondering if there could be an explanation for the symptoms rather than worst case scenario.....

I'm sorry you are going through this OP. How far along are you? I've lost 3, 2 of which I had seen a heartbeat. The 2nd, I had no pain, just the spotting, so went to work and MC there.
Have you called the EPU? Sadly, often nothing can be done if if it an MC, but they might be able to scan and see what is going on. Sometimes its simply a haematoma (might be another term) that doesn't cause any issues- other than the spotting.

I obviously hope its not an MC, but if it is, this site is helpful. They have a phone line to speak to someone https://www.miscarriageassociation.org.uk/
