Spotting at 7+4
Am trying very, very hard not to panic (again!!) and have read all the books etc. so know that a bit of bleeding is very common, especially around the time your period would be due, but I'd really appreciate it if you could share your stories of bleeding during pregnancy. I wiped last night and got pink, and although there's nothing much now I still can't get it out of my head that this might be the beginning of the end. I don't THINK I have cramps, but my general digestion has been bad lately so it's hard to tell as I've been a bit uncomfortable for weeks anyway.
Hubby is being absolutely lovely and is ready to whip me off to the maternity unit if it gets any heavier or carries on for too long. What are your experiences of early scans - will they do one for light bleeding?

after the first bleed i went for an early scan and saw heartbeat which was very reasuring. if i was you id def ring epu or midwife and go for scan. but take it easy and rest plenty.
take care becs x
i also know what you mean about not sure if you have cramps or not but i figured if anything was to be bad then the cramps would be very obvious and i would definitely know about it.
if you get really stressed about it ring nhs. i just kept monitoring it and it did go although i'm still wearing pantyliners so i can analyse anything that comes out of me.
big hug hun, lots of sticky babydust xxx
was it just the once that you saw pink or have you been spotting?
When I was 7+6 and wiped I had a pink tint too (sorry if tmi) it was just before i went to bed and i had a sleepless night convincing myself i was about to mc.
But i haven't had anything since, I didn't see anyone about it because I have my midwife appointment this wednesday.
If your really worried, see someone. Just for your piece of mind. (I realise this post wont prob help you)

Percypig - it was just the once that I saw pink when wiping. I got up to go to the loo at about midnight and when I wiped I could see from the light of the streetlamp outside that the tissue was dark, so I turned the light on and it was pinky. Have had nothing in pants since and have been upright for about 5 hours now so am hoping that this was a one-off, like yours and mrs_e's.
It also makes me feel better to hear that some of you have bled heavily and yet everything was ok.
As far as getting a scan goes - if I have anything else I'll be down at the hospital in a flash. Just going to sit tight for now.
Then at 12 weeks i had blood pouring out of me for 5 mins solid followed by a large clot and then it stopped. I was convinced the clot was the baby so took it with me to the epu. I had an internal examination which showed my cervix to be closed (which is a good sign!) Thankfully the clot was just blood! I had another scan which showed a healthy bubba again measuring correct for dates and no sign of the cause of bleeding on the scan.
So since then i've had a dating scan at 13 weeks and all was normal, i've seen my midwife a few days ago and she found a heartbeat with a doppler straight away and said that it was more common than you would expect to bleed during early pregnancy.
I kinda expected to bleed again at 16 weeks (since it was 4 weeks apart last time) but fingers crossed nothing and i'm now 16+5 weeks.
I would defo get in contact with your epu and at least it will put your mind at rest and you'll get to see your baby early!!!
Take care hun, rest is always the best thing to stop bleeding.

Try and relax, take it easy and if you get any more worried then go and get checked out. As my midwife said to me at the time, not good for you or the baby to be worried! xx
Try not to panic

I would try not to worry (I know easier said than done) but that sounds like the most tiny bit of spotting and the dact there has been no more is really good...
I had heavy bleeding (period like) at 5-6 weeks and 10 weeks which they could find no cause for...
However if you are still worried or have anymore spotting don't hesitate to call your EPAU of GP for advice... I had scans at 6 and 10 weeks and they were lovely at the unit...
take care chick

i had bleeding at 7 weeks and then again a week and half later at nearly 9 wks. i have had scans and all was well they could not tell me why it happened but as a precaution i have been put on a progesterone supplement to support everything. i am now12 weeks . i wake up this moring and i am bleeding. i came stright to the hopital and they scaned me the baby is still doing well and my cervix is still closed which is reasuring but they said it may be a old blood colt or they said the placenta is lying very close to my cervix and the presure could be causing burst blood vessels. but all seems to be well try not to worry and if it gets worse go to the hospital bleeding can mean alot of things.
