Bleeding 9 weeks

I know no one can give me an answer but I’m in a bit of a panic after seeing quite a bit of pink/red blood for the first time in this pregnancy. We had an early scan last week at 8+2 and everything looked great and no blood seen anywhere.
I just had some brown spotting during weeks 5 and 6.
I did have salami and billtong a few times this week, without realising it’s not allowed and now worrying that’s caused a problem. I was just really craving it!
I’ve text my midwife as I’m also feeling a bit crampy after going to the toilet.
It can’t be anything to do with implantation 🙁

I hope all is okay for you. Light bleeding/cramping can be common in early pregnancy so I will try stay positive for you

Does your hospital have an EPU? If so please call them andhopefully they can get you in ASAP for a scan to check all is OK.

Hope all is ok OP, agree with PP to call EPU.
Please remember the bleeding isn't your fault & it's not because of something you've eaten.

25% of pregnancies have some bleeding in, and most of those are absolutely fine.

Do call EPU if yours is still open - mine closes at 8pm so you’d have a chance of being seen; but if not, you could see them tomorrow.

Thank you for all your advice! I text my midwife but never got a reply so I called EPAU the other day and have a scan booked for this coming Thursday 🤞 I’ll be 10+0 then.
I had lletz last year so wonder if the bleeding came from my cervix, I’ve had none since last week so hopefully nothing, trying to be positive.
