Bleeding early pregnancy

So i took a digital test 4 days ago & came back 2-3 weeks pregnant, but then a cpl days later ive started having cramps & bleeding- started light pink but over the last two days its been red blood (no clots) not heavy - far from a normal periods worth. Enough though to need a pad- so far been two days of bleeding
I took another test (not digital) & said not pregnant… have I miscarried?

You been changing a lot of pads ?

Your HCG levels wouldn’t drop that quickly if you had miscarried. It could be that the levels are too low for the non-digital test to pick up.

I’d keep testing and try to get an appointment at an early pregnancy unit to be properly checked!

Sorry hun!! That exactly what happened to me. Its called Chemical pregnancy, these digital tests can detect hormones so so early but stops developing. Going through that emotional rollercoaster had taught me not to test that early even if trying....Best to assume a period vs miscarriage. Wish you luck, you'll get thru it.

You can bleed during first trimester of pregnancy and cramp. Both should be light. If it's heavy and you are in pain then you should go to the Dr to see what happening.

I bled for a week straight .. went to the ER They said everything was ok & I’m currently 37 wks

I also bled right after I found out I was pregnant! This can be totally normal! Bleeding can be caused by a few different things in the beginning like implantation bleeding or a subchorionic hemorrhage (which was why I bled) Everything ended up being totally fine and I am currently 21 weeks pregnant! I wish you the best!

I’ve bled quite a bit through my second trimester but no pain, I’d definitely recommend contacting a hospital just to put your mind at rest xx

It sounds like a chemical pregnancy…but only a visit with the dr will help you know that.

The test said 2-3 w pregnant? That usually means 4-5 w since you can’t test positive at 2-3w. Was the test early? Like before your period was due? Usually with a chemical, the positive test comes before the expected period then the negative test comes after

The best way to be sure about pregnancy is a Blood Test. These days most the GPs are doing Telehealth. You can get a phone appointment from any and just get a Blood Test form over the email.
This was you can get your Test done while you are waiting for a week for your GP appointment.

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?
