Positive story of bleeding for anyone in need

I'm around 8 weeks pregnant and the past week I have had bleeding - ranging from spotting old brown blood to bright red blood that needed a pad. I have also had all my symptoms disappear - boobs feel back to normal, able to eat normally. I went to my local pregnancy unit today after a GP referral fully expecting the worst. have spent hours searching mn for stories of reassurance, so after a scan today where everything looks ok I thought I would share a happy outcome (at least for now) - baby is perfect. I have a large sub haematoma (spelling?) which explains the bleeding.

I know this isn't the case for everyone, but just sharing in case it helps someone in a similar anxiety spiral.

It happened to me at 8 weeks as well during my first pregnancy, although that was the start of a very complicated pregnancy due to other reasons and not related to the bleeding - I ended up giving birth to a very cheeky little madam! 😊

My first pregnancy I bled or spotted on/ off the entire pregnancy including a large bleed in labour . I was never given an explanation as to why. That Baby is now 23.

I'll throw my positive one it too for anybody who needs it!
My worst bleed being qith dd2 who is now 6!
From about week 6 or 7 I bled heavily, big clots worse than normal period clots, heavy dark red bleeding, they found no reason for it on the scan but continued for 10 days straight. She's my double rainbow baby who is an absolute clown 😅
I also electrocuted myself with house mains power at 10 weeks with her too.... but that's a different story 🙈🙈
