Have you called your midwife? It could just be implantation bleeding which is common in the early weeks of pregnancy.

I’m nearly six weeks and I had one very recently on Saturday (when I was just over five weeks). I called my midwife and explained symptoms and she said it was nothing to worry about and that it’s very common at around this time to have bleeding. I’d suggest speaking to your midwife and keeping an eye on it. Stay positive 😘

Thankyou I always thought I had it as I had some bleeding about 2 week after ovulation and it seemed about the right time I’ve just rang epu I’m waiting for a call back as I’ve had a few pains I don’t understand like mini contractions

Don’t worry, it’s normal to get a small bleed again. The midwife I spoke to yesterday said she had bleeding in the first trimester for all four of her pregnancies and it was all fine. The pains could potentially be standard cramps as your uterus will be expanding - could even be a case of trapped wind! Try not to worry xxx

Hi, so sorry you are so worried. I understand. I have had a lot of bleeding in pregnancy. Brown discharge is common. The doctors say to worry when it's bright red. Even then, this has happened to me and gone on to be OK. Discharge and light bleeding can be very common especially early on.

Really hope things work out for you Afrohair. I had slight bleeding which didn’t mark the end of my pregnancy. Good luck...x

Thanks Hun x

Hey sorry to hear this.

I had brown spotting between 6-14 weeks with my daughter. I even lost fresh blood with clots at 10 weeks. The scan showed nothing wrong with the baby & couldn’t find any explanation for the bleeding. My drs put it down to my endo. I wonder if that is causing yours?

I would get a referral for a scan at early pregnancy unit just to put your mind at ease. The midwife told me brown spotting wasn’t a concern ( it concerned me!!) by 7 weeks you should be able to see a heartbeat.

I’m sorry you are going through this it’s so rubbish. Rest up as much as you can hope it eases soon xxx
