I'm bleeding :(
oh this is rubbish, I'm bleeding. It's just brown blood just now, looks really like the stuff at the start of my period, I know the drill brown means old lots of folk bleed in pregnancy, I just can't shake this horrible feeling that something is wrong

I've heard that about one third of pregnant women bleed during pregnancy so it's not as unusual as you might think. It might spell a problem if the bleeding is accompanied by strong cramping. I've also heard that if it's old blood it should be fine. Perhaps you could call your mw tomorrow? They might be willing to give you an early pg scan to put your mind at ease. I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry at this stage. I've read lots of posts by ladies on this site that said they have bled but then they went on to have a healthy baby.
I hope everything turns out ok for you x
Hope it stops soon x x
She said I've to phone them back again on Sunday to see how things are, and if I'm still worried they'll get me in for a scan on Monday or Tuesday next week.
That seems like a good compromise to me, as it stands just now I really don't think I've lost the baby and if I don't bleed much more then I don't think I'll go in for the scan, NHS resources are stretched enough as it is.....
I'm glad to hear that the bleeding is slowing down. The EPAU sounds like they are very supportive.
I hope everything works out ok and that the bleeding stops

My bleeding alot worse last night, with clots and very painful. i called the hospital this morning and they brought me in for a scan. I am having a m/c BUT it was twins and the other one is measuring bang on for dates and saw the heart fluttering!!! Very mixed emotions. Also very painful as I'm miscarrying but all I can take is paracetamol because I'm pregnant!! They're not sure what will happen with the other one, but right now it's OK. Have to go back up in 2 weeks for another scan, and rest up as much as possible in the meantime.
Weird day.....
Hope you're ok, take care. xxx
