Went to the loo last night and noticed some bright red blood when I wiped. I assumed the worst and put a pad on in case, nothing. Went to the loo before bed, nothing. Slept with the pad in case, nothing. Went to the loo this morning, brown blood when I wiped.
Is this how a miscarriage starts? What should I do? Thank you

Hi im so sorry to hear this has happened i know its a horrible feeling. Firstly I wanted to say that just because you're bleeding doesnt automatically mean its a miscarriage especially if its stopping and starting i bled through my entire pregnancy on and off and my baby was fine but it was a panic every time. I would contact your early pregnancy unit and let them know you're bleeding and they'll get you in for bloods and a scan i imagine to check things over and monitor you to check things are ok. I know hoe horrible this all can be ive lost a few babies myself and its the worst feeling but dont loose hope yet.

This happened during my first pregnancy. Bled at 6 weeks with big clots, went for an early scan at the hospital and all was fine - they said it just happens some times. He is now 2! Fingers crossed for you, I know how scary it can be 💖

Sorry to hear that, it's very stressful :( this happened to me twice with healthy babies. Find your local early pregnancy unit and ask for a scan - look it up beforehand as you may need to be referred. Hope all is well xxx

the truth is i have had bleeding in healthy pregnancies and miscarriages with no bleeding 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

i do hope it settles for you
