TW: am I having a chemical? Advice please

II have had 3 previous losses in 2025 (2 chemicals & 1 mmc). I have fallen pregnant again and currently am 4w 4d but I have had some bleeding, which is a dark brown colour, there was a tiny bit of red but it wasn’t bright red. I also did a test which was positive but was a bit fainter compared to the last few days when I tested. I also had some pain early hours of this morning for a couple of hours and took painkillers but now I don’t have any pain and bleeding is there when I wipe.

I called the miscarriage clinic and they advised me not to lift anything heavy and to stick with a scan I have next Friday which would mark my 6 weeks.

I’m concerned cos I have been taking cyclogest and aspirin, so I’m not sure whether to continue this or what’s going on. Not sure if it is a chemical, as my period was due on Saturday but I tested positive last week Thursday.

Any advice would be great

There isn’t much you can do other than what’s already in place like your scan, because if they scan you earlier they can’t see much anyway. You could maybe ask for blood tests to see if your HCG is rising but other than that it’s just a shitty waiting game

I know you didn’t ask but I had 2 chemicals and 2 early second trimester losses last year and this time I took aspirin from 3dpo and now I’m 28 weeks! Jusy incase you haven’t tried that x

I would keep taking your meds just incase as there can be other causes of bleeding in pregnancy

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?

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

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

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!
