Bleeding in early pregnancy

[scottie77]

Im going tomorrow for my first scan (im 7 weeks today) and started on Friday with a light pink when i wiped which has turned into red when i wipe. There isnt enough for pads but some is on my knickers. Ive also go slight cramps which come and go (typing this just now i aint got any) and to be honest i feel better when im lying down. I still have sore chest and i took a pregnancy test this morning and it still says im pregnant but i know that sometimes thats the case if your loosing it. I phoned the hospital on friday and they said just to wait until Monday and come in then. Im going out of mind with worry. I think i know what they are going to say tomorrow and dreading it ! Am right to think bad ament i?

You will just have to wait and see.

Nobody can stop you thinking the way that your mind has told you to think. ?does that make sense?

You phoned on friday and they told you to come in on MONDAY? Even after when you told them your bleeding? WTF? Go hospital and get it checked out, bleeding when pregnant should never be taken lightly, good luck, hope its nothing serious!

[ummmm]

Not neccesarily. It could be implantation bleeding which is quite common. Cramps are also common.

Easier said than done I know but try not to worry as stress isn't good.

They told me that there would be nothing they could do and just to wait. I did think it was a bit odd but hey they are suppost to be experts!! Im wondering now if i should go to A&E

[AndThenSome]

Ummm, but surely its safer for her to go and checked out asap, evep if it is just for peace of mind so that she does'nt stress herself and the baby?

[scottie77]

Thank you for your replies - i think ill phone my docs and take it from there. Trying to keep calm!!!

scottie.....have you had an accident?......NO
Are you an emergency?.........NO

Then what can A@E do?

[ummmm]

If she wants to for her peace of mind then Yes....but if she's losing it there is nothing they can do. With very slight bleeding there is a good chance that she'll be ok. The hospital will also know that.

This same thing happened to my son's GF earlier this year, she rang the hospital with the same symptoms on the friday and they told her to wait until Monday to go in. It made no sense to me either back then. Good luck, hope all is well when you go tomorrow.

Ultimately the decision's yours scottie77, All the best.

I hope things are ok for you
The reason they say wait till monday if u call late friday is because sonographers work mon-fri. Even if you were to go what exactly would you expect them to do? If you are llsing baby (hope that is not the case) they cannot stop that and u must let nature take its course
On monday when u are due your scan (way to early really as you cant always pick up a HB or you may not be as far along as you think and not see anything at all causing more worry) if there is anything to see they will tell you. Do you have an history of m/c for such an early scan?

And, no it may not be bad - it is quite possible it is implantation cramps and bleeding although the blood is usually brown

[scottie77]

Ive had 2 miscarriages before - one with bleeding very early on (day after my period was due) and a missed miscarriage - only found at 12 weeks. Trying to remember what my one with bleeding was like and it wasnt like this. By this time it was a full blown period. Anyway, im gonna try and relax today and wait for tomorrow. If its bad news - least im kinda prepared.

[ummmm]

Good luck xx

Really sorry to hear that hun, look after yourself and I hope you find yourself having a viable pregnancy in the future when you are ready.

I'm very sorry to hear that scottie
However, there is something you can do now after 3 m/carraiges. You are now able to have investigations done on the NHS as to why you m/c
