I am 8 weeks pregnant and have had fresh bleeding on and off, quite heavy at times. All is ok and they can't explain why. Heart beat is fine. I would get checked out if there is any bleeding. Because it is dark red it probably old breeding so nothing to worry about but if you are worried the only way to settle that worry is to go for a check. I had bleeding with my second pregnancy and all was fine and no bleeding with my first and all was fine. But peace of mind get checked x
I've been experiencing it with this pregnancy between 9-10 weeks and have had with early miscarriages too. I've had a scan at 9 weeks at EPU and all fine, but unexplained. After much googling I've come to the conclusion that a lot of people experience this and an trying not to worry as long as it's not red. However I would still contact your EPU if you are anxious and concerned as that's what they are there for (and my local one has been brilliant so far).
I had bled red in the 4th and 5th week too but the ultrasound at week 6 showed heartbeat as 136...but today again it was brown blood so I am worried. I was asked to take TRAPIC E if bleeding increases. So I took it asap. There is little spotting now. Called the doctor but they unable to explain the reason.
Next ultrasound may be in week 12. I was thinking of doing the ultrasound locally once without informing my doctor. What do u suggest?
Hi trish. I wouldn't worry too much as long as it's not red. I would go and ask your GP/midwife to check to see if you have any infection with a urine sample. Hope all is OK. Diane
