Hi ladies,

I've had such a trying day today. Everything seemed to be going great with the pregnancy - no morning sickness, just ever growing boobs - until this morning.

I went to the toilet at work and noticed spots of bright red blood on the bowl afterwards. I immediately called my midwife who said I should go to A&E straight away to get checked out.

The hospital were brilliant, and I got seen to within 10 mins, even though there was a packed waiting room. I had a good chat with the doctor, who although said obviously this could be the start of a MC, also said because there wasn't a lot of blood (even though it was bright red) and as I'd had no pains that I shouldn't worry. I had my blood pressure taken, did a urine sample and they took some bloods which I'll get the results from tomorrow. They tried to book me in for a scan today but couldn't so I'm back there at 3pm tomorrow.

I'm really trying to remain positive, especially after speaking to my Mum and a friend who said they bled like this and their babies were fine, and after what the doctor said, but its really hard. Hubby is being great and being the eternal optimist keeps reminding me we could be seeing our bean waving back to us tomorrow.

I'm so scared and nervous and my head is all over the place at the moment. Have any of you ladies had similar experience?

sorry i didnt want to read and run hun ive not had this before but i wish you the best of luck xxx

Good luck with your scan tomorrow. No cramping/pain is a great sign. I had a huge bleed at about 7/8 wks and everything was fine with bean. Rest lots tonight, keep your feet up and drink plenty of water, it helps stop any uterus contractions and may help settle any possible spotting.

be positive and try not to stress. i had bleeding on and off for about 3 weeks. old blood new blood, some heavy some light. from i think about 5-8 i would say. im now just coming up for 14 weeks. mines was a threatend mc but it stayed strong in the end. believe it or not it is very common to bleed in pregnancy. good luck and update us

xx

i had bleeding at 9 weeks that was bright red had a scan and everything was ok and now im 16 weeks so think happy thoughts huni gd luk xxx

yea also as mentioned above. keep ur feet and and best to try lying on the couch or keep in bed. when i had my bleeding, i did nothing but stay in bed, i was told by the doctor to do it. relax ur body as much as u can xx

good luck tomorrow hun! some woman do bleed around the time they would have had there period! try not to stress to much! xx

I had some bright red spotting a few weeks back. When i went to the doctor two days later everything was just fine. Baby had a strong heartbeat and they could not find any reason for the spotting. Hope everything works out well for you as well. Good luck tomorrow.

i've had brown bleeding for about 2 weeks now that started with a huge red bleed. just try and get lots of rest hun.. as others have said, no pain is a good sign!

I had bleeding alot through my pregnancy and i have a healthy little boy, im sure everything will be fine
