Sore

Is anyone else getting to the point where their bump is so sore. Either side of bump and the top feels very sensitive and as if it is bruised. I have heard of round ligament pain but wasn’t sure if it is that or not because I speak to my midwife.

Had anyone experienced bleeding during thier pregnancy?.

I am currently 13+6 days pregnant and although this is not the first time I have experienced bleeding during my pregnancy, I am a bit worried now because I have now experienced it 3 times and with small clotting. I don't know if it is related to stress or could be something else

Depo injection

Has anyone been on the injection and just randomly started bleeding with blood clots? I started in November last year and have not had any bleeding or a period since. I was on it before I had my last child and never bled then either. I just thought it was weird for me to randomly bleed like this.
