I was just wondering if I'm having a miscarriage or if this is normal. I don't see my doctor till next week but I go for blood on Wednesday.

I had both bleeding and cramps in the first 12 weeks n now have a 2 month old :) they told me not to worry unless the blood was bright red. The cramps can be you womb adjusting to being pregnant. But if you are worried call and speak to your gp x

I had bleeding with my first pregnancy, it was pink spotting then it turned brown. It happened again at 8 weeks. My baby was fine he turned 5 last wk. U would know if it was a mc, u would be bleeding really heavy passing clots & changing a pad more than 4 times a day. Sorry for tmi but I am jst trying to put your mind at rest if u only have spotting. Take it easy & keep an eye on it.

It does happen... pop to ur g.p they can refer u For a scan to put ur mind at rest... it is scary I had bleeding the day after I missed my period. .. and bleed for a month but always best to get checked x

I had a MC 1 1/2 weeks ago and I had twinges more than cramping, it started off as light brown blood but then progressed onto heavy bright red blood with clots within days. I worried myself silly about it and turned my OH nuts with daily updates and worried looks. I rang 101 and they said that I should see my doctor, she was really lovely and reassured me that the MC would not affect other pregnancies. My doctor also said that I was to take a test in 2 weeks to make sure. If I was you I would go and see your doctor or phone 101, my doctor said she would rather see a patient than have them worry at home. Good luck xxx
