Bleeding at 6 weeks pregnant

Up until this weekend the start of my pregnancy has been completely normal.
However early hours Sunday morning I woke needing the toilet, as I’ve wiped I’ve notice fresh blood filling the tissue, I checked my underwear nothing. I wiped again, there was more. And again until it was gone. I ofcorse went straight into overthinking mode and my instant thought was I was losing the baby.
I went to out of hours, they took bloods and that only confirmed my hormone levels were still high. I had not had anymore more fresh blood at this point but every time I wiped there was dark brown/old blood on the tissue. (Only when I wiped) I was sent home to wait for a call for an emergency scan. That day I spent the day back and forth to the toilet dreading each wipe, each time more of the same dark brown blood. Until the evening. I went to the toilet and more fresh blood appeared, I again thought the worst.
fast forward to the day of the scan, I’m still having brown bloody residue everytime I go to the toilet. I end up having to have an internal scan as she is unable to pick my uterus up externally. She said my uterus is very far back. The internal finally gave me some hope, the baby was there and its heart was beating strong. She mentioned one of my ovaries was sitting behind my uterus, but tbh as soon as I seen my baby’s little heart beating away everything was a blur.
I met up with the doctor after the scan and he had absolutely no answers as to why I’m bleeding or what the cause is.
Hes told me to go on bed rest for a few days and contact them if the bleeding gets worse or if I start cramping. I haven’t had any pain during this time apart from back pain which I’ve had for days prior to the bleed.
has anyone been through this that can send some encouraging words or is anyone currently going through anything similar?

I had unexplained bleeding also for both of my successful pregnancies.
One I bled on and off like this picture for a handful of days.
The other I passed clots and bled like a period for a week straight, absolutely no reason why, no evidence of it on a scan.
They're now a healthy happy 8 and 5 and a half year old....
If you've seen baby, just take it easy for a bit! Fingers crossed for you x

Thank you so much this is very encouraging.
I’m trying not to worry now that I’ve seen the baby I’m just hoping the bleeding subsides. I’ve noticed a decrease in the dark blood every time I wipe today and no fresh blood as of today. Just keeping everything crossed 🤞 this is my first pregnancy so I have no idea what is normal/abnormal or what to expect.
Thank you again

I had the same with my first baby. To the point it was so so heavy one morning I thought I had lost the pregnancy.
She is now 6. Hope that the bleeding has stopped for you now.

I had bleeding at 6 weeks. Currently
bouncing on my birth ball at 41 weeks. If it helps, when I did have a miscarriage at 11 weeks before, the bleeding quickly got worse within a day, so good news yours hasn’t

Edited

has he/her made an appearance yet? ❤️
just a quick question in regards to the bleeding, did it go pink towards the end? I’m on day 4 of bleeding now and I’ve gone from red to brown to pink and just wondering if that’s normal. Thanks
