Spotting?

[anonymous1-]

So I went for an early scan yesterday that my GP referred me for due to two previous and consecutive miscarriages.

I measured earlier than I thought at 4 weeks but actually works out perfectly from the time I would of ovulated (obviously the nhs calculate your pregnancy from the date of your last period). The sonographer could only see my gestational and yolk sac which she said all looked good and she couldn’t see any bleeding which again is all good, my uterus was bulky which apparently is normal and has booked another scan for in 3 weeks time as thats when a heartbeat should be detected and they’ll be able to see the baby - it’s gonna be a long 3 weeks lol 😫

However last night I had a tiny bit of spotting, more like pinky mucus type discharge but I literally mean the tiniest bit which obviously I am now panicking about. I don’t have any cramps and haven’t had none since last night. I have read that it could be where I am so early it will be lining into my uterus or something like that or could also be where I’ve had an internal scan.

Has anyone else had this before and everything be okay / normal? I’ve kept myself awake going to the toilet every hour through the night to check as I am absolutely petrified and there’s no other word for it. I’ll never be able to enjoy these stages of pregnancy as it’s been completely taken away after everything I have been through before.

If anyone has any similar stories they could share I would be so grateful. Praying for a healthy pregnancy right now😢🥺

If they did an vaginal scan, it could be that they've irritated your cervix and caused a bit of spotting or it could be implantation bleeding.If they couldn't see any bleeding on the scan I'd say it was from the internal scan, it doesn't take much to irritate in there especially as your blood flow will be increasing during pregnancy so it makes it easier to cause bleeding from things like that.

Thank you hunni! You’ve made me feel a lot better. I haven’t had anymore although it seems to become an obsession to keep checking😣 I still have all my symptoms sore breasts and lower back ache so I’m hoping all will be okay🤞🏼 Thanks again xx

Agree with Seb9 it doesn’t take much for it to be irritated, I experienced this with a vaginal scan. I think we all worry at this stage and the earlier you find out the longer the wait!!

Try your best to take it easy and chill out. After my miscarriage I took the attitude of whatever will be will be. No drs or nurses or you can prevent the natural course whatever that is. Focus your attention on being kind to yourself and keeping well. Good luck!

I always say I wish I was further along when I found out then I wouldn’t feel like I’m waiting what feels like forever! These next 3 weeks are going to be a real drag.

I try to think “what will be will be” but it’s just so scary and always will be. I wish this feeling would subside but it just won’t ☹️

Glad to hear it can be normal though, it’s put my mind at ease a little bit x

I had 2 bleeds early on in my pregnancy and like you was so worried and kept checking constantly. I had 2 early scans (one internal, one normal) and everything was absolutely fine. They advised it was likely implantation bleeding where the embryo was attaching to the uterus wall. I have absolutely no clue if it’s related or not but my 12 week scan showed i had an anterior placenta. I had a healthy pregnancy and I’m now a mummy to the most amazing little girl. I wish you luck for the same outcome x

Thank you for sharing your story with me! It’s so worrying given my history but I’m just trying to keep positive 🤞🏼🙏🏼 X

I had a bit of bleeding after 7 weeks. It seems to be really normal - baby is trying to snuggle in and get access to your blood aka food.

I had this, right in the beginning. They sent me for a scan and everything was fine. Then again at 9wks there was dark blood. Another scan and baby was all good. Try not to worry (I know easier said than done) I've had fertility issues for 8 years and I am finally 22 weeks pregnant. And please don't Google. It makes the worry and stress do much bigger. Try and enjoy the moment. In my fear I took that excitement away from my partner and family and I really wish I'd enjoyed it. Good luck love xx
