View Full Version : Spotting Help-urgent Please
Hi
First off apologies to any IRL friends who I havent told I am pregnant yet, just wanted to wait until I had my first u/sound before we told anyone:D
Anyway, I am 11 weeks in a couple of days. I just went to the toilet and when wiping there were a couple of tiny spots of bright red blood.
Should I contact my g.p. If there is a problem will the spotting continue?
I dont want to be a stress head but I am:(

Def contact your doc. Its probably fine, but best get it checked just incase.
(lots of women spot in early preg :hugs: but better safe to check it)
Thinking of you and hoping all is good!
Just want to say that spotting does occur in many pregnancies - but do keep an eye as to how much blood/spotting there is.
I was 11 weeks when I started spotting and then it got heavier and sadly I miscarried but having said that I also experienced spotting/bleeding with my current pregnancy up to 20 weeks and the baby was fine.
The doctors will ask you to keep an eye out - if you experience heavy loss and pain go to the hospital and they will be able to do scans for you.
All the best :hugs:
Thank you Ecstatic Em and Bigglet :hugs:
I have made a dr's appointment 6.15pm. Dont suppose there is anything they can do apart from hopefully having a doppler and they might be able to pick up the heartbeat :confused:
God I'm so scared I hope that this isnt the start of something. Anyone know if things are going to go bad how quickly it all progresses?
:crying:
I was going to suggest your see your GP but i see you already are...
Good luck :hugs:

Manxie....an early preg bleed can be very normal especially if its around the time you AF would have been due...((((HUGS)))) I am sure everything will be ok but jeez I am scared for you too :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: get your self off to doc to put your mind at ease honey and let us know what happen when you can xoxoxo
Thanks TwoBlue and Kristi.
I am s@@tting myself. Just had a tiny bit of blood in a bit of mucous just then sorry for tmi:o I also feel a bit crampy.
I am a real worrier but I just have a bad feeling.
Oh please dont let it be I want this baby to stick so badly. I'm an old tart and cant afford to loose this one :crying:
Big :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: to you
wishing you all the best for the appointment tonight.
I am sure everything is fine.
Just relax as hard as that may be, go and put your feet up if you can. Take it easy, stressing isnt going to help.
And one more :hugs:
Let us know what happens

Good luck at the doctors i had a few days of spotting with this bubs around 10 weeks but apparently it was quiet common, i did have a dull ache similar to a period pain as well. When i miscarriaged it was a lot more blood and i was in alot more pain. Try to relax, i know its easier said than done but rest up! I am sure all will be ok though.

Good luck with ur doctors app..
:hugs:
Hope everything goes ok!!!!
Big :hugs: to you. I hope everything's alright. I started spotting at 8 weeks & unfortunatley miscarried. However, I also had spotting in my 1st pregnancy at 14 1/2 weeks & all was OK.
I spotted and mucoused at 8 weeks and then had slight spotting at 12 weeks. Both incidents coincided with when my period would have shown up had I not been pregnant and I was assured (as I'm sure you will be) that it's normal.
Best of luck :hugs: Hope it all turns out okay. Try not to stress about it.

Manxie try to relax. I know this is such a terrifying thing to have happen in early pregnancy. I have four children and when i was pregnant with my 3rd i had heavy bleeding and painful cramping. I assumed that i had miscarried and just tried to get on with life (It happened the day before fathers day and i spent a few days balling):thumbsdown: I noticed that i still had the morning sickness so decided to go to the doctor. He told me that i had most likely lost the baby but sent me for a scan. That was one of the happiest days when i heard the heart beat! They told me that the baby had implanted on a blood vessel which is what had caused the bleed. They could'nt explain the pain though??? (I'd love to hear fom others that have had a similar experience) Then the same thing happened with my 4th baby. I had the heavy bleeding and pain but it happened on three different occasions thorought my pregnancy. Even though i had been through this with the pregnancy before i was still totally freaked out by it. The doctors said the same thing about the baby implanting on a blood vessel. When i saw the ultrasound screen i was shocked, you could see my little baby which was tiny and the sac of blood around him was twice his size! Still gives me goosebumops!!! Anyway baby number four came out very healthy. I guess i just wanted to share my story with you to try and put your mind at ease a little. Stay positive and good luck with the doc, I'm sending good vibes your way!
Thanks guys.
Relax, whats that!! Am going to work out when AF would have been due:wizard: :detective:
Mumof4- Thats amazing. I'm assuming I am well past implantation bleeding though at 11 weeks.
Hopefully its just stretching pain?
Will come back on later and let you know how I got on.
Thankyou guys

Good luck Manxie. Spotting is a nasty thing - it can be bad news, but it can also be nothing to worry about. There are several women on bubhub who have had early spotting - even quite heavy bleeding - and who go on to have very healthy pregnancies. Only an ultrasound can tell you for sure.
I'm crossing my fingers for you.

i just wanted to say good luck at your appointment and i hope everything is fine for you and your baby:fingerscrossed: :hugs:
Thanks guys.
Well.....just got back from the doctors. Blood pressure ok, cervix closed, bleeding present.
It has now gone from a few spots to being present when I wipe IYKWIM.
The dr was lovely but not at all reassuring so I am fearing the worse. I have a letter for A&E should I start heavy bleeding during the night, if I nothing too much happens overnight then I am to have an ultrasound first thing.
I really feel that it has gone:crying: my heart is breaking. Oh well I will know tomorrow for sure.
Thanks for all the hugs and kind wishes stay put baby and be healthy:fingerscrossed:

Ok Manxie try really hard to calm down hey... :hugs: I had bleeding just like this at 15 weeks with Rhianna too and she is a healthy happy toddler now.
Just try to put your feet up and relax ( I am a worrier too so I know this is not helping much hehehe) the choccie sounds really good, I wish I had some too! :D
It is normal to be worried, but as I know what I am like, try not to work yourself up into a frenzy. Breathe. :hugs:
We are here if you need to chat about anything, even for something to take your mind off it for a while. xoxox
Thanks guys - I'm off to bed, no more bleeding at the moment thank god.
Heres hoping :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed:

Hey Manxie, how are you this morning? I hope everything settled overnight.:hugs:
Morning Rynosmum another one with an early riser. No major dramas overnight just a bit of browny tinged mucous first thing.
So off for an ultrasound I guess. DH is taking the day off work to look after DD so watch this space I guess:fingerscrossed:
That is good news things settled down over night. All the best with the U/S today :fingerscrossed: and i will be watching this space.

good luck, i had a really bad bleed at 11 weeks with dd3 with bad cramping..i had a huge gush of blood, i just knew i'd lost her, i mean all that blood and pain, i was in shock when i had a scan too see a little bub playing in there like nothing had happened:D
although i was told that because my levels dropped i was losing her... well i didnt, she is almost 1... and i now know that not all pg's are text book... good luck
Hope everything works out fine:hugs: Eagerly waiting to see how your U/S went. Surely the brown tinged mucus is a good sign being old blood and all.:fingerscrossed: I had a bleed while preg with DD and they told me it can happen and everything can still be fine. DD is 8 months.

Hope all is going well for you today. :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed: :hugs: :hugs:
Thanks guys
Not good news. Ultrasound showed bub to be 7 weeks 2 days and I know that I am 11 weeks tomorrow. She originally thought she saw a heartbeat but then changed her mind:gloomy: :crying:
Not sure what happens next I assume a D&C as no further bleeding. To be honest I just want to get it out, is that really bad?
Cant stop crying just bawled my eyes out to someone I hardly know poor woman.
Back to the Dr's in half an hour. I dont have private insurance so not sure how long it will take to get seen, I really hope its quick.
Thanks again guys for all your support and well wishes I'm just sorry it didnt have a happy ending
I'm so so sorry. This happened to me too and it is a terribly hard thing to go through.
I understand you wanting to get it over and done with, it will allow you the time you need to grieve.
Big healing hugs, take care of yourself, and again, I am so sorry. :hugs:
Big Hugs to you and your partner. I am so sorry to hear it was bad news. :hugs: :hugs:
Oh Manx, I'm so sorry :(
Take care of yourself :hugs:
Oh Manxie. :crying: I am so terribly sorry. :( Thinking of you. :hugs: :hugs:
Thanks guys

Oh I am soooo soooo sooo sorry to hear this :hugs:
When I read this my heart just dropped because the exact same thing happened to me.
I was 11 weeks as well and when I had the scan they said I was only 6-7 weeks along (no heartbeat but they said that usually develops after 7 weeks) and I KNEW my dates were correct - there was no way I was only 6-7 weeks along.
It doesn't matter if you don't have private health insurance - I was public and the emergency dept in the hospital just makes an appointment for you in the day surgery should you need a D&C. I had about 3-4 ultrasounds/scans within a few days before I had to have one and the procedure was fairly quick.
Emotionally I was a wreck so I can understand how you feel :hugs:
I am soo sooo sorry but I don't know if this will make you feel better but I got pregnant again within a few weeks after my D&C.
I'm so sorry for your loss :( :hugs::hugs: I'm thinking of you :hugs:

I'm so very sorry - I just logged in to get an update on your thread and have read your news.
I have been there too. Brown blood which everyone said was 'good news' but it wasn't.
I'm so sorry, feel free to vent to us or anyone else as much as you need to - these things just shouldn't happen :crying: :hugs:

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My angel baby died at 8 weeks, but I didn't miscarry until 11.5wks so for 3.5 weeks I was walking around thinking I was carrying a healthy baby, but sadly it wasn't. It really, really sucks and I'm sorry that you're going through this. Take care, cry, scream, get angry, cry some more - do whatever you have to do to get through this. We are all here for you! :hugs:
To be honest I just want to get it out, is that really bad?
When I started to miscarry I felt exactly the same way. I think it's quite normal to feel this way :hugs:
Thank you so much everybody, your posts really are a big comfort especially as I dont have any family here.
I have just got back from the g.p who was just gorgeous. She had called the gyne reg at our local hospital before I got there and they have told me to goto A&E at 7.30am tomorrow morning and they will organise a d&c. If I start heavy bleeding and cramping before then I am to go in.
The bleeding is more now so just waiting to see.
It seems so unreal, one minute your pregnant the next your not. Typically bumped into one of the girls from my mums group in the drs waiting room. She has a massive healthy bump:(
Thank you its wonderful to have this place :hugs:

So sorry to hear your new Manxie... I too, like many of the women here, have been in the same position you are now... Take all the time you need to heal and grieve...
The D&C is nothing to worry about, its over so quick... I was like you and just wanted it over and done with...
Take care and we're here if you need to vent, cry, whatever...
:hugs::hugs:

I too am so sorry to hear of your loss:hugs: :hugs:
Thank you again.
The bleeding is getting a little heavier and a lot more painfull. I feel like I could almost faint at times, I wonder if I will cave and go to A&E during the night?
I havent told my family what has happend. They didnt know I was pregnant. Its so hard they are overseas I definately dont want my mum to know as she has been so sick. My sister would be a great support she has had two miscarriages herself but I dont want to upset her. She has had to carry most of the burden of my mum's illness during the last year. There is nothing she can do anyway so I think its better not to tell her.
I am worried that I am going to bump into my SIL tomorrow she works at the hospy. Also one of the mums in my mums group works there. I can just imagine she will be oncall and come to see me:(
Its so hard to know who to tell and what to do. I only told a few people I was pregnant and have told them my news but what about the other people I come into regular contact with. All bar two of my mums group are pregnant, I dont want to see them with there big bellies.
Sorry I'm rambling DH has taken DD out so I unfortunately have space to think:rolleyes:
This is turning into a bit of a journal - sorry:rolleyes:
Anyway off to bed and aim to be at A&E for 7.30am. I am a bit worried as GP has spoken to a registrar and organised all this off the record so to speak. As a nurse I know that these sorts of deals usual turn to cr@p and that the reg is unlikely to be there and they will have me hanging around all day.
Anyway will post my final post here tomorrow with the outcome of it all.

All bar two of my mums group are pregnant, I dont want to see them with there big bellies.
Ah yes, I know what that's like. There are 7 of us in my mum's group. 4 of them have had their 2nd (and 1 of them is currently trying for a 3rd, grrr), 1 is due to have her 2nd in October (2 weeks before my baby would have been due :crying: ) and the other girl has MS and I doubt will get pregnant again. That just leave lil old me sitting here, patiently waiting for my turn.
Anyhoo, blabbering now. Just wanted to wish you the best of luck for tomorrow, and I hope you survive the night without too much pain or discomfort. As sad as you will probably feel after the D&C, I hope you will also feel a little better. Take care :hugs:
All the best for tomorrow, Manxie. You'll be in my thoughts.
Thinking of you today. :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

All done:gloomy:
The hospital were just fantastic, who needs private health?
I arrived at 7.30am was taken into a private room in A&E almost immediately and seen by a gnye reg with fifteen minutes. She knew I was comming and was lovely. I went to theatre at 9am ish and was in a private room on the ward by 11am.
All the staff were lovely and very understanding, I didnt stop crying or shaking all morning. They arranged for a social worker to come and talk to me. It was really good to have someone independent to talk to and helped a lot. She helped me realise that I need to tell my sister that I have had the m/c and I might call her tonight. I have also decided to tell my mums group mums as they are mostly all pregnant and it will help them be a bit sensitive towards me,
One of the nurses I used to work with had started work that day on the ward I was in:rolleyes: but it was lovely to see her and get a cuddle. She had lost twin babies at 20 weeks. Everyone I talk to seems to have lost a baby at some point its scary.
I dont know where I will go from here.
Thank you my bubhub friends for all your support and friendship you have helped me through this:hugs:
Everyone I talk to seems to have lost a baby at some point its scary.
I found this too. Suddenly, after my miscarriages, I found out that so many friends and colleagues had experienced the same thing. It actually helped a lot, but I was stunned by how rarely people actually talk about it. It is one of the great things about bubhub, a place where you can find people with similar experiences.
Big hugs again Manxie, we're all thinking of you.:hugs:
