Bleeding in pregnancy

Bless you. I know it’s all scary and if you’re really feeling that you’re being fobbed off, definitely put your foot down. Remember this is your body and your baby, you know best! Also, I’d recommend going to your early pregnancy unit at your local hospital. It may be absolutely nothing and I have heard of lots of woman bleeding throughout the pregnancy. Goodluck and I hope things get sorted for you xx

@Beccie I have been to the early pregnancy unit and it’s them that have refused to do any examinations and checks. There the ones that have fobbed me off. Telling me they can’t do anything and just to monitor the bleeding. But it’s been two weeks nearly and I’m just so fed up of being messed about. They also told me they couldn’t scan earlier Because they’re not allowed but they scanned me from 4 weeks with my first so just feel let down and left to worry

Maybe a private scan? Xx

@Beccie that’s what I’m thinking but I’m thinking see what the midwife says when I go soon and then if they can’t do anything I’m going to book a scan. It’s strange how no one knows why it’s happening and I know you can bleed during pregnancy as my mum did with all 3 of us but I’m just worried, I don’t feel pregnant, I’ve never had any sickness. I’ve got no pain at all so I’m not sire what it could be xx

Bless you. Say you really would like a scan as you are really concerned. Part of midwives and consultants jobs are to reassure Mum too. I hope all goes well xx

@Emma Cotterell they would only give me a scan for next week at the hospital but I’ve got the midwife in half hour and I’m going to ask them what to do and for them to check as it just doesn’t sit right with me xx

Yes, I completely get it. When i was pregnant with my son I bled a tiny bit very early on because it was so early in the pregnancy the doctor told me on the phone if it was anything, there was nothing they would be able to do. I have a healthy, happy 3 year old. Well waiting for adneoid and tonsil surgery but he is full of beans and healthy in general. I hope you feel supported by the midwife. I think some ladies can bleed throughout pregnancy and it be completely normal for them but even if the midwives and consultants feel this is your situation, they should be doing what makes you comfortable as keeping mumma and baby stress free is important too xx

@Emma Cotterell it’s not a tiny bit though, I can wipe and there be loads of blood and mucus and then the next there’s very pale pink blood. I just don’t know what else to do anymore. I got told by the midwife I can have progesterone to stop the bleeding once I’ve had my scan Monday. Other than that they can’t help. Xx

How far gone are you? I hope everything works out okay and you can feel more at ease soon. No, I know our situation is different. I felt the doctor on the phone was a bit blunt though, there was nothing they could do but still it was worrying if a tiny bit of blood, so I can understand why you are worried. On the other hand, some women bleed throughoit pregnancy and bubba is fine and healthy. Inbox me if you like xx

@Emma Cotterell well no one actually knows because when I had my “period” last month it was clots and mucus and blood and I tested positive and then had a week where I tested negative and then I’ve had 4 weeks where I’ve tested positive again so nobody knows how far I am. Midwife I seen today said I’m 6 weeks tomorrow and hospital midwife’s are saying 5 weeks so we can’t go off anything until Monday. So it’s not helping xx

Oh I see. It must be difficult because you are living with uncertainty. Take care of yourself and try to be as relaxed as possible. You got this mumma xx

@Emma Cotterell it really is. I’m just trying not to worry with having loses in the past that it’s not another one. I’m so on edge and I’m not sure why but this bleed is just not sitting right with me but hopefully after Mondays scan they can help more. X
