Early Pregnancy Spotting

I’m currently pregnant with a baby I didn’t know I could have.

Bit of a backstory l had cancer 2 years ago and whilst we tried to protect my ovaries as much as possible it wasn’t guaranteed we could conceive. We were told in April we could start trying and unbelievably had a positive test at the end of July.

I would estimate I was 6 weeks exactly when we went for our early scan but the sonographer confirmed we were 5+3 and it was too early to confirm the viability. We’ve been booked in for a follow up scan in 2 weeks time but I can’t help but worry.

I’ve had brown spotting on and off since 5+3 (before the appointment) - going by their measurements I’m now 6 weeks and still spotting on and off.

I guess I’m just looking for a bit of reassurance that these things can happen and it might be ok?

Could be implantation spotting, which I had and then the rest of the pregnancy was fine. Try not to worry, and just check with your midwife if it continues,wishing you all the best. X
