First trimester spotting

[tabsli12]

Hey all,

Looking for any experiences / advice on spotting in first trimester. Sorry if any of the below is TMI. I'm 11 weeks and haven't had any spotting so far. Had the odd twinge/ cramp but never ended up in spotting.

I've had a few more twinges over the last week and noticed light spotting for maybe an hour one day. I exercised for the first time in about 7 weeks today (thanks to first trimester nausea and exhaustion!) and I've had spotting since. Obviously a little bit concerned as haven't had this up until now and wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience and what the outcome was?

Hey, I am having the same issue. How did it go for you?

I was seen by the early pregnancy unit and was given a scan where everything showed as normal with no obvious cause. I’m now 29 weeks and have had another spell of spotting since in the second trimester which turned out to be all fine after investigations too. I’d definitely contact your midwife/ early pregnancy unit if you’re concerned to get checked out - I know how nerve wracking it is! Hope everything goes ok ❤️

That’s really good to hear, take care of yourself! ❤️
I have seen a few threads here that lot of mums are saying that they had spotting and then everything were fine at the end.

But when it happens, I find myself in a really anxious state! I’ll try to call them tomorrow. Thank you so much.

Yeah I think it can be quite common, but that certainly doesn’t take the anxiety away when it’s happening to you! Definitely best to get it checked out and hopefully you’ll get the reassurance that everything is ok 😊 ❤️
