Had a really bad scare last night. I felt a bit sticky down below and when I went to the loo before bed there was a brownish smear of Blood on my knickers.

I rang NHS direct and had to wait for a nurse to ring me back. She was wonderful, she asked me a serise oF questions - like:-
Q = Was I hot or cold? (A = warm)
Q = Did I feel faint or clampy (A = Neither)
Q = Any Abdominal Pain (A = No)
Q = How much blood? (A = A smear)
Q = Blood Clumpy? (A = No)

She said it sounded like normal bleeding, caused by the Baby settling in (I'm 5 weeks). She pointed out that a lot of women have intermitant bleeding at different times during their pregnancy and some even have period type bleeding throughout their whole pregnancy.

I was going through anything I might have done. And I'd only just told a friend about it so I was wonderng if I should have been superstious. All I could think was that I hadn't tod my Mum yet (waiting till thursday night when I see her face to face)...

Anyway I wanted to share in case anyone else goes through this type of thing. I'm still a bit worried, will have to keep an eye on it and it it happens more I will have to ring GP to move my scan forward just to be safe.

I hope all is well hun,
rest and try and keep your feet up for a while.
Make sure you go to the doctors if you are worried or have more.
Take care

Anything you say wont make any difference at all. I'm very mildly superstitious but telling people isnt going to jinx it hun.

Its normal hun

glad u got itchecked out and all seems ok!! take it easy! x

I'm sure it's fine chick, try not to worry

At such an early stage it could've even been Implantation bleeding. That normally happens around week 4 there abouts.

Luckily it sounds like it's nothing. Bleeding can be a big scare!

Im there with the bleeding worry hun.
I went to a&e and they took some blood tests to see whats going on with hcg etc... am now booked in for early scan next week to check why was bleeding. If it happens again id pop down a&e just to feel reassured.
Hope its all stopped now for you!

Sorry you had such a scare. It does sound like implentation bleeding though which is good. But like other girls have said, if you're still worried go to A&E or EPU if you have one at your hospital.
