Bright red bleeding?!

I am around 8w, woke up this morning to go for a wee, wiped and saw bright red blood with some very small bits/strings (no chunks).. my heart sank!! Called 111 and got a call back, being referred to epu and they should call me tomorrow to book me in for a scan. Had an early reassurance scan last week where I saw baby and heartbeat so don’t know what to think!

6 hours later now from when I first noticed - I didn’t lose any blood throughout the day (pad is clean) and thankfully bleeding has pretty much stopped (very faint pink). Anyone experienced this and turned out ok? I am so anxious, don’t know how I’ll sleep tonight 😭

Are you sure it's coming from the vagina I've had bleeding but it's not actually from the vagina the joys of pregnancy eh xx try not to stress to much

yes I am sure :(

I am going through same. But currently it’s like period, went to the emergency but they can’t do scan. EPU gave me scan slot tomorrow. Longest weekend for me.
I hope things goes well for you❤️

Ah I'm sorry just try and relax
Spotting can be normal maybe your doing to much or straining xxx good luck xx

I’ve had bright red bleeding at 7-8 weeks. It was when I wiped and I spotted for a few days. I also had a gush of blood. (Small amount) and apparently it can happen. No explanation as to why. Always stopped after it happened. Never followed with pain or anything. I’m now 10 weeks and baby is fine. Try not to worry it just happens sometimes! Xx

I had two experiences of bleeding in my first pregnancy, I was told I had a polyp and that was the problem! Hope everything goes okay xx

My sister had bleeding around the same time as you and they said it was from a haematoma caused by implantation. They said it was fairly common, and her pregnancy has gone on to be fine. Totally understandable that you’re worried about it, but hopefully yours will be okay too 🤞🏼 xx

I had the exact same yesterday and they couldn’t tell me why as baby was fine. Message me if you want to chat 🥰 xx

Update: unfortunately confirmed baby stopped growing at 6w4 and lost its heartbeat so it was the start of a miscarriage. Bleeding isn’t necessarily a sign of mc but in my case it was. Heartbroken to say the least

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
