Light spotting and symptoms easing at six weeks in first pregnancy

[JustLimeSheep]

Hello!

im currently around 6 weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy. For a few days I’ve been having really light spotting only when I wipe, today it’s a little bit more but I would still say it classes as spotting as it’s not enough to fill a pad, I don’t have any pains or cramps.

my pregnancy symptoms seem to have calmed down (I didn’t really have any bad nausea as such anyway - only bloating and fatigue)

I took a clear blue weeks indicator yesterday and I got 2-3 weeks, from my calculations I should have got 3+ 😓

i’m so anxious and scared that this is the start of a miscarriage - I’ve been so excited about this pregnancy. I have a scan at the EPU on Friday morning so should be able to get clearer answers then but I feel like I have lost hope. Has anyone experienced similar?

Sorry you’re going through this OP.

I started to spot with no cramping around 7 weeks pregnant and there was a noticeable dip in my symptoms. After about 3 days of spotting it got heavier and the cramping started and I ended up having a miscarriage.

During my 2nd pregnancy I spotted from 6 weeks to 10.5 weeks but with cramping initially but my symptoms continued to progress. No cause of the blood was ever found and the pregnancy continued and I had my DS.

now on my 3rd pregnancy I had spotting for 1 day with no cramping and everything was fine on my last scan but as with my last pregnancy my symptoms were still getting worse.

in my personal experience it wasn’t the spotting that was a sign of my miscarriage but the disappearing symptoms.

Hopefully your scan gives good news on Friday and you are one of the lucky ones with few symptoms!

I spotted in both my pregnancies on and off in first trimester. Some days my symptoms would be worse than others too. I think it’s too early to tell unless the bleeding develops into something heavier. Sorry I know the waiting is so tough!

I took another clear blue test this morning which is now showing 3+, I know I shouldn’t use this as an indicator but it going up gave me abit of reassurance.

in terms of the spotting, I wore a pad overnight and it was empty in the morning. When I wiped after my first wee there was no blood either!

20 minutes later I went for a number 2 and felt slightly constipated so pushed harder than usually (sorry tmi lol!) and then I saw the spotting thereafter again & now when I’m wiping the spotting has returned. I was constipated on Tuesday too and then the spotting started on the weds, could this be linked?

so hard to stay stress free until the scan!! 🙄

Is the blood pink, red, or brown? Not that it’s a definite answer to what’s happening!
