There's really no sure way to know what's happening without a trip to the hospital chick. Can you not get to hospital or something? Xx

I work a pretty tight schedule it's hard to find an appointment time close enough to find out

If youre before 16 weeks phone the early pregnancy unit at your local hospital they may be able to see you the same day. If it's after that phone Maternity triage. When I was in the early stages I was worried that I'd miscarried and got seen by the early pregnancy unit within hours xxx

Luckily I didn't. I was bleeding quite heavily which prompted me to get in touch with the early pregnancy unit. Bleeding can be normal in most circumstances but always best to get in touch to atleast get peace of mind if anything!! Xx

It was a dark red colour. Please do get in touch with the early pregnancy unit though just to be sure things are okay - it'll atleast put your mind at rest if anything xx

Hello dear girl!

I had some some spotting (pink and dark) I think from week 6-8 on - off every other day / forthright and everything was just fine (now week 23)

If you have excessive bleeding and fresh red blood / cloths then something might be wrong but if it's just tiny bit then probably it's not worth your worry.

However, if you worry then go and have it checked out!

Good luck, thinking of you!x

Thanks so much . It's not a lot it's just dark red and a couple tiny clots .

Keep the track of it! If it gets heavier, and fresh blood appears then go and get it checked out!

Fingers crossed that it will stop and everything will be fine!

(If this is any help - my spotting was like 1/4 of tea spoon a day / forthright- as it was so minor then I did not pay much attention to this bleeding and on week 12 scan everything was fine)x

It's usually like a heavy period if you miscarry. It depends how far along you are though. I have had 6 before 12 weeks but the worst and heaviest I had was at 12 weeks. I was bed bound for weeks after also. If it's dark brown and doesn't soak you then that's spotting. I had spotting with both of my boys during pregnancy which obviously terrified me with my history of so many miscarriages. I hope it's nothing and you are OK x

Hi, hope you're ok. I had spotting at 6-7 weeks. I mentioned it to my Gp and she booked an eary scan for the day after and said its important to get it checked out. At 11 weeks I had more bleeding but it was like heavy period and kept increasing. I passed clots too. I miscaried. I am hoping you will be fine as spotting is common but definately get checked out. Good luck x
