Hi pelaja,

I was just about to post a new topic when I stumbled across yours...Yesterday I had some sharpish cramping pain and then a small bleed just as I was about to go to work! When I called my obstetrician, she said to have an ultrasound today to see if everything is OK.

I too am 7 and a bit weeks pregnant. When we went in I was incredibly nervous, not knowing what to expect. This being my first pregnancy, the sight of a little blood completely freaked me out, so I was expecting the worst.

When we watched the ultrasound though, even at 7 weeks, we could see our baby's little heart beating!!!! Althought the size of a peanut, it was reasuring to see the little life inside me was OK, in the right place (ie not a tube) and that it was doing everything it was supposed to be doing.

Good luck with your scan, I'm sure you will be fine. All of a sudden, my pregnancy seems 'real' now, as we have seen our baby for the first time.

I still am not sure what causes the cramping or the small bleed, but the OB said that it's never a very easy thing to discover why these things happen so early in pregnancy. She said I may just be one of those unlucky women who has several bleeds throughout the pregnancy for no apparent reason. Not entirely reasuring, but the ultrasound helped a lot!

Hope this helps your anxiety.
