Hi Dee,

I too had bleeding at 8 weeks with my last bub. It was bright red and enough of it to scare the hell out of me. After calling the hospital the night it started they told me to come in, I was determined to stay at home because I thought that if I went they'd give me an internal or something and I'd definately loose him. I didn't go. The next morning I called my GP and went straight into see him, he organised a scan for that afternoon, he told me to take my bag packed with me because if there was no heartbeat I would need to go to the hospital for a D&C. They could find no reason for the bleeding though.

There was a heartbeat and I went on to have a beautiful, healthy little boy. I did keep bleeding for about 2 weeks on and off and just rested as much as I could.

There is hope for your sister, but I agree with the other girls she should get a scan organised.

Take care
Trish
