So very nervous, please share any positive experiences🥺

10 weeks, had some red bleeding on Friday night, not enough to fill a pad but enough to be concerned. I have a scan booked for tomorrow but have started having a tiny bit again, a lot less than before but also some brown blood with it. I’m so so nervous for the scan, we lost our first baby in September last year so I’m beyond petrified and feel I’ve already accepted the worst but would appreciate any positive stories around this?🥺

Hi how awful. I’m not sure if it’s going to be the same experience. But just to reassure you I am going into my 11th week next week and I’ve had a couple of awful experiences with red bleeding followed by brown. I’ve had a scan each time and they’ve advised everything is fine. They are unable to explain why I’ve had these bleeds but confirmed heart beat and no issues with baby. Due to the couple of bleeds I’ve now been put on progesterone to help reduce this and keep baby safe. It could be a hematoma or an unexplained bleed like mine. Try to stay as calm as possible and rest. Brown blood is usually a good sign it’s old blood so means it may be slowing down. Good luck for tomorrow’s scan.

I’ve had the same but for 3 weeks. Then turned red and brown with clots, I had a scan on Friday (about 5 days after the clots started) and baby was all ok, heartbeat seen and wriggling about. They said it was a hematoma and could be pictured on the scan too. Sending you love 🩷

I had bright red, period type blood at 6/7 weeks in my last pregnancy, everything was fine and he’s now 11 months. Was terrifying so I feel for you but it’s not automatically bad news, it can be a hematoma that gets dislodged by the placenta. If you aren’t having severe cramping then try to stay positive, brown blood is a good sign that it’s not continued bleeding. Good luck!

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?

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

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!
