Hi all!

I'm nearly 13wk pg and started bleeding last night, very bright red, but not lots and lots like a period. It stopped almost as soon as it had started but i;ve had really bad pains, almost like labour pains (this is my 4th pregnancy!) and i've had a small amount of red/brown discharge today. I;ve never had this in any of my previous pregnancies and i've got an appt 2mo at the epu but i'm scared witless. I know there are lots of other threads about this and i know its one of the most googled topics in pregnancy but the more i read the more i worry! Anyone who's been in similar situations - can you give me some advice? I'm worried that i'm miscarrying and i don't know what to do.

Hun, call your doctor or epu for advice, it may be nothing but you need to put your mind at rest

I've been to the docs today and she says its a threatened miscarriage and given us 50/50. But i keep reading about people who've had worse symptoms and gone on to have healthy babies and then others who've had far less symptoms and miscarried. God, this pregnancy thing is such a nightmare! The funniest thing is the docs say to rest - how the hell r u supposed to do that with 3 kids (8,5,and 2!)?!?!? Thanks for you advice - its much appreciated.

I am so sorry lovely you are going through this.

Please take care of yourself and I wish you well xx

Lots of women bleed and go onto have healthy pregnancies and babies - My sister did for example. Its easy for me to say try not to worry or relax but when its you that is happening to then thats not easy.

Get you OH to take over with the kids tonight. You really MUST try to rest. Worrying wont make any difference now so try to get though this evening and we will all be sending you lots of love and sticky vibes. Let us know how you get on at the EPU.

I had red bleeding in the first trimester and my LO is fine. I hope you get a positive outcome too!

Sending sticky thoughts your way

Hope everything´s ok hun

Hope everythings ok hun, thinking of you

Hiya hun

I had bleeding pretty constantly from 6wks (light when i wiped) but had a heavier bleed with bright red blood at 13wks, i got checked out & had 5 seperate scans and the baby was fine. I haven't bled since then and am now 16wks so hopefully it has settled down for good. I know how terrrifying this can feel but try to relax as much as possible & it will probably turn out to be nothing serious. Good luck hun, I'll be thinking of you so let us know how you are feeling xx
