An update and a question
Hi ladies, some of you may have seen my previous post about bleeding for a week and an early private scan not finding anything at 7 weeks pregnant. Well, I had a scan at EPU today and they found a heartbeat! They dated me at six weeks, which is a week out from what I thought, but blood levels were fine and baby's heart rate was also good. They did an internal scan, and since about 3pm I've been bleeding heavier than before and have passed a couple of small clots. I'm not cramping but felt a bit achy since the scan was carried out. Do you think the bleeding could be from the ultrasound? I felt relieved for an hour or so after the scan and now I'm back to panicking

Good news on the heartbeat!
They should tell you when you have an internal it can cause some spotting or a slight bleed. With the small clots though im not sure. Have you told your doctor or midwife about this as i think you will need to x
Deffo make sure you mention it to your midwife. If you get any pain i would ring her strait away. Just take it easy though and rest as much as you can
Ellie,
Fabulous news honey - glad they found a heart beat! I am not sure about the small clots, monitor the situation and let your midwife know next week. They do say that an internal scan can cause bleeding or spotting although I have never experienced it myself.
Good Luck Honey
