    If there is red blood am going through a miscarriage?

    Just wanting to know if anyone knew anything similar to this.I should be just over 7 weeks pregnant but I have not really had a few days where I have not had some other colour CM other than brown but the last few days it has been red as red. It has not been just blood, it always seams to be really mixed in with CM (not bleeding like a period though) I haven't really had any bad cramping just occasionally I do notice that it has gone from brown to red. Any help?

    It's really hard to say. It can be bad news, and it can be nothing. Best way to know anything is to have a viability scan. At 7 weeks they should be able to see something on a scan.

    I hope it's just 'unexplained' bleeding. *hugs*

    Hi, I had bright red bleeding with DD at about 9 weeks I think it was. Mine was just blood though not mixed with CM. It was quite heavy, needed to put a pad in my knickers (I was already in hospital at the time for HG so the nurse just told me to put a pad on & see how much blood there was in the morning)
    It turned out in the morning there really wasnt alot but I had lost a bit before putting the pad in my knickers. It was a huge scare as I had lost my previous baby at 10 weeks & thought it was happening all over again (although with my previous baby there had been no bleeding or any signs of miscarriage)

    I had a healthy baby after having that red bleed at about 9 weeks. The nurse said it is quite common

    Hoping u have a sticky bub there. Just remember if it gets too heavy or u get cramping along with the bleed go see a Dr

    Wishing u all the best!

    Hi kanda, I would go and get a scan done asap. There are ppl who bleed during pg and go on to have healthy bubs. I am not one of those ppl. If i bleed it's over. So i would go and get checked, at least you'll know either way. and much love from me xoxoxoxoxox
    I'll be praying for you that everything's ok xoxoxo

    Oh Kanda! I am so sorry babe. I can tell you from my experience with lots of women who I have nursed in emergency that there were many who came in with bleeding who lost their babies and also lots who had the same but kept their babies. There is no way to know other than having a scan. I had my scan yesterday and found out that I had a MC earlier this week My heartfelt sympathies

    I had bleeding with DD, bright red and the 2nd time it was period heavy. But sometimes it's not good news - I hope it's just bleeding and all is well with your baby. Might be best to have a scan and see. All the best

    I had brown spotting which turned to bright red bleeding and cramping from weeks 5-7 with this pregnancy. I'm 18 weeks now so obviously everything was fine. I was convinced I would m/c though as I had 4 times before! There was never an explanation for my bleeding but it stopped after I went on progesterone.
    I hope you have a sticky baby in there! Good luck xx
