Spotting

I had light bleeding at 9 weeks and again at nearly 11 weeks with my son. I had a scan both times at early pregnancy unit and all was fine they couldn’t determine where it came from but he’s 20 months old now. I would ring your epu for advice they might bring you in just to check

Hey, I had this a few days ago , would have been my second baby but unfortunately the cramping continued and the blood got a little worse and I went to EPU turned out I had a miscarriage. 😭 I would defo go get seen if the bleeding continues better to be safe x

I’d definitely call 111 atleast, if the cramping is on one side in particular or in your lower abdomen I would say to go to out of hours x

I had some light spotting and the gynaecologist checked me over and said it is most likely just old blood! Unless you start bleeding red blood and heavy amounts that soak a pad in an hour that is when you should go to A&E xx

So our EPU is shut Saturday/Sunday.

It’s pale pink when I wipe.

Not sure why your midwife has said that, they should get you booked in for a scan at EPU. They aren’t open on weekends usually, but you should be able to call Monday and see if they can get you booked in. You could always call 111 in the meantime over the weekend and they should be able to tell you what service over the weekend can help.

I had some bleeding with my first and it was a subchorionic hematoma that cleared up by itself by 12 weeks

Hey Lucy! I can imagine you’re quite stressed out about this 😢 it’s not nice to hear from a midwife when you’re seeking support that there isn’t anything they can do for you. I agree that EPU should offer an early scan. Is the spotting persistent or is it one off? With regards to the pain that is like cramping and period-like, I was told by my midwife that it’s growing pains with my uterus and as long as it isn’t severe or one sided I didn’t need to worry.
