Spotting 5w3d

Hi all!

I am super stressed this morning as I’ve had some light brown spotting and this is what happened when I last had my MMC.

Does anyone have any positive stories from spotting and their pregnancies being ok? I’ve called the EPU and they say my symptoms are mild so even given my history there’s nothing they can do.

I have an early scan booked for 8 weeks but is it worth waiting?

Just looking for some hope or advice.

Spotting for me the last few days resulted in a repeat ultrasound today. Everything was fine for me. I’m at 7 weeks now.

5 weeks is a little bit early to see much in on ultrasound I believe but I may be wrong. There are many reasons for early bleeding pregnancy that can be not related to miscarriage.

Hoping everything is ok for you!!

Hiya I had spotting around the same time, I had an early NHS scan as I had a loss recently and she said it's completely normal and everything looked healthy. Fingers crossed it's the same for you!

I spotted for most of the first trimester and then at 13 weeks I had a full on bleed but everything ended up being okay! I’m currently 18 weeks with a strong heathy baby :)
I was under the care of a fertility clinic so when I started spotting early on they prescribed a high dose of progesterone for me to take for the whole first trimester. I believe your family doctor can also prescribe it so it would be worth mentioning to them that your spotting

I had a spotting exactly at 5w3d, lasted 2 days maximum and everything was totally fine! I was told it’s late implantation bleeding that got stuck in the uterus. Now at 15 weeks.
One thing I would say though, if it doesn’t stop after 2 or 3 days, follow up with EPU again and push for a scan. I had a miscarriage in Jan that started as spotting at 4w5d but that spotting was accompanied by cramping and never stopped and eventually got worse.
Hope it all goes well for you!

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! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

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

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?

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?

32 weeks
