I don’t want to give you any false hope but I do want to say honestly I know a few women this has happened to and their pregnancies have been fine and their babies are now primary aged kids
if you go back a few pages, I commented in reply to someone else it was happening to that I've had it with all 4 of my pregnancies between 4 and 8 weeks and spotting is listed as a symptom for the whole of the first trimester on the nhs website.
It was different with each pregnancy. With my first and second pregnancy it was only a week but with my third pregnancy, who I had the scan with, I spotted from weeks 4 to 8 on and off constantly.
Thank you for this!
I will add that one did end in a miscarriage however, that was weeks after the bleeding stopped and completely unrelated to the bleeding that happened. As the mc was nearly 5 weeks later!
I'm currently going through exactly the same. I had spotting for 5-6 days with the last bit being bright red. I'm going for a scan tomorrow so fingers crossed everything will be okay. I'm almost 9 weeks and still having dizziness and nausea. I'd say if you are really worried to ask for a scan. Keeping my fingers crossed for you
Thank you! Yes I remember your posts! Is it gone now? I called back and I got booked in for Wednesday afternoon. The midwife said if I get pain, or the spotting gets worse to call right back.I'm currently going through exactly the same. I had spotting for 5-6 days with the last bit being bright red.

Yes luckily the spotting stopped over the weekend so keeping my fingers crossed for good news tomorrow. Glad you have managed to book in. Hopefully it's just a normal part of pregnancy but I'd never heard it spoken about before so it is a worry. Let me know how you get on
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you too! My friend had this whilst pregnant and her son was fine. I’m hoping and praying this is the case for us too.Yes luckily the spotting stopped over the weekend so keeping my fingers crossed for good news tomorrow. Glad you have managed to book in.

We know we're having a boy but I still wanted a fairly neutral room with light colours as it's a small space - we've gone for yellow walls with light grey carpet, and pale yellow curtains in a giraffe print, then white furniture. It looks lovely and fresh, and could easily be turned into more of 'typical' boy or girl room with accessories
as people have said, spotting can be a really normal symptom in early pregnancy but I know how anxious it can make you - I hope your scans give you the reassurance you need Yes I had it at around the same time as you, it doesn’t make it any less scary but it’s really common. My friends who have had kids all had it as well at different times during the 1st trimester so it is fairly common easier said than done but try not to worry
It’s just because that I don’t want her to keep messaging him for updatesWe’re currently living with my parents so if they’re home (currently on holiday) will tell them that we’re leaving. But other than that no oneWhat has everyone done/ planning in terms of telling people if you’ve gone into labour? My husband wants to tell his mum when I do but I’m not sure, we will have to tell my mum as she’ll come and sort our dogs out, husband thinks I’m being very strict and saying no to everything though so might just have to let him have this one

I only mean family btw as definitely don’t plan on letting friends know ( personally anyway)!
I want to be left alone & just act as normal until I know he’s here safely
My mum is my birth partner so obvs my parents, my husband can deal with his side. Not sure about my sister, my mum might tell her but I’ve got two close friends I speak to pretty much daily so will tell them. Other than that probs nobody!What has everyone done/ planning in terms of telling people if you’ve gone into labour?

I think it depends on how pushy your family is tbh! We told both sides as I was going in to be induced, but ended up going into labour naturally while I was on the ward waiting to be induced. My partner updated my family and his family every now and again, but I didn’t touch my phone at all (probably because I went from nothing to contractions every 3 minutes so couldn’t concentrate even if I wanted to) but no one harassed him for updates and it was very much on his terms that he kept them updated which they all respected. I’d happily tell them this time too, but I guess it depends on how forceful they’ll be and how willing your OH is to set the boundaries!What has everyone done/ planning in terms of telling people if you’ve gone into labour?

We have decided to let my sister know so my hubby has someone to support him if needed. Other than that I've said I want noone to know because both our mothers have big mouths and would tell everyone and our only plan for birth is that it's as calm as possible with no phones. We don't want to have to update anyone whilst in labour.What has everyone done/ planning in terms of telling people if you’ve gone into labour?
