Bleeding after scan

I had my 12 week scan today and have just woken with wet pjs(no blood) and blood in the toilet/ when I wipe. Is this normal?

Call EPAU or go there directly ASAP
Might not be anything to worry about but it’s better to be safe, when you say you have wet pjs how much is it? Sounds like your waters have broken

Also how does your stomach feel after your scan? Any tenderness or bruising?

You need to go to the early pregnancy unit and get scanned. Fingers crossed everything is ok. Please don’t waste time

Definitely get checked out, but I experienced this also and my baby is now 6 months old and perfect. I had a couple of bleeds throughout early pregnancy including one after the 12 week scan. Always always check but it can happen and be okay.

It’s been a few hours is everything ok?

I had this after my first scan, they said that the pressure of the scan had just prompted some excess blood from behind my placenta to be released or something to that effect and everything was fine.

But yes, get it checked out

Please go straight to EPU and get checked out I hope everything is ok

We were told anything prior to 16 weeks call GP anything after 16 weeks we could m call triage. So see what it says in your book / text your midwife. You can always ring triage and they’ll let you know if they can take you. When something similar happened to us at 10 weeks, we called m the GP and they referred us to the early pregnancy unit and they booked us a scan 2 days later.

Thanks everyone. I called triage and they asked me to come in. Had a bedside scan, bloods and a speculum check and all seems to be ok.
Home and resting now

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
