The worrying never ends....

Not much point to this post really.... I am 7 weeks & 4 days today and woke up to some spotting, had the same at 5 weeks and doctor told me not to worry, but easier said than done isn't it. I have my 2nd scan on Friday, so now the long wait until then to make sure everything is still alright....

Spotting is normal, I have had spotting on and off for the first 12 wks, even some fresh blood which ended up being a heamatoma and I thought that was the end of it. My nurse told me, as long as it is just spotting, dark blood do not worry. If you’re bleeding red blood and or have pain you have a problem ho and seek medical attention asap. This journey is unfortunately crazy as the worry never ends, it just keeps changing but we have to learn to manage it with our mindset… wish you all the best x

Yes, it's just brown spotting, very little, but still hard to not worry though. I've had this kind of spotting 3 times so far. I'm trying my best to just relax 😅 Thank you, you as well xx

I had it more than 3 times and as long it’s brown and little it’s all good, don’t worry! Honestly I’ll had it on and off at least 6 times and it was ok. Just keep telling yourself this is normal. X

Same as me!!! I have two hematoma… I’m so worried that I can’t explain. Take care, just wanted to say that you’re not alone♥️

as long as no cramps and you still have all the symptoms I would keep positive! It happened to me 3 times as well at 5 + 9 + 10 weeks.

I’m at 13 weeks plus now and started worry about checking my cervix as well as what else could go wrong… so I agree with you. The worrying never ends 🥹

Hi, no i don't have cramps at all, as for symptoms, they've been coming and going , but that's been like that even before my 1st scan, so i don't know. My 2nd scan is Friday so not long to go now 🤞🍀

It sure is a roller coaster ride 😅

That is such good news! I was thinking about you and hoping you’d say that. I have a close friend that’s at the same week (symptoms gone) and she has a scan tomorrow. I just want everyone else to be successful ❤️
