Early pregnancy spotting

[Lexi88]

I am in the early stages of pregnancy and developed spotting.

I had a scan on Saturday and it turns out I’m potentially 4/5 weeks pregnant as apposed to 7/8 weeks.

My next scan is on the 11th October. Has anyone been through this and can offer some wise words or reassurance please?

Hi. I would go to the EPU and have another scan. I think if you are spotting then you need to be seen before 11th. X

Hi,

For me, most of the times spotting was a warning sign that something was wrong with my previous pregnancies.

But I'm 20 weeks pregnant now and also had a lot of episodes of spotting and bleeding during my 1s trimester.

Did they see something in your uterus during your scan on Saturday? If so try to rest as much as you can and if possible ask for anothet scan before the 11th.

Good luck!

Xx

They did they saw the sack. Which is why I presume they wanted to wait a few weeks to see if the baby is developing properly as they think I’m much earlier in pregnancy than first thought.

Trying to stay calm and positive, and rest up when I can.

Thank you for your advice, makes me feel a bit more positive.
