Hello there. I’m new here ☺️
Just asking if anyone has experienced the same as me. I’m 12 weeks 2 days today and I had my scan on Tuesday. Since then I’ve had muscular pain across my belly like I’ve done a really big work out. No crampy pain. Anyway last night I went to the loo wiped and there was brown discharge. I’ve not had any experience during this pregnancy with spotting. I started baby asprin from Tuesday as prescribed. I contacted EPU this morning and they have said to just monitor it and if it continues then they will scan me next Tuesday. I asked if what I was experiencing was normal and they could not really give me an answer. They said if it became worse then I needed to go to the A&E. I am a gal with a belly pre pregnancy and the sonographer really went to town when she was scanning me. Any guidance reassurance would be appreciated.

I would go to the maternity triage in your hospital. Just because of the brown discharge. Is the pain similar to a sharp stabbing pain? I had this when my muscles started to rip during the first and second tri.

Hi, no it’s not that sort of pain it just feels like when you’ve done a big workout and it’s tender around your tummy and I’ve got a heaviness/pressure when I stand. I called EPU this morning and they said monitor
