i am currently 6 weeks pregnant and have had a tiny bleed tonight followed by a little cramp about 2 hours after.. the bleeding was only a little bit but can someone help as this hasn't happened to me before, could this be implantation or could it mean that i am having a m/c... would love for u to give me advise

Hi there Rosa

Firstly i just wanted to say, don't stress!

I know how difficult it is when you don't know or understand what your body is doing!

I am sure you'll hear this lots - every body is different. But it's true. I have had a pregnancy where i bled loads, yet gave birth to a healthy baby girl who is now 3. Saying this, i have experienced miscarriage with bleeding, miscarriage without bleeding, and an ectopic with just spotting. When i bleed as a result of a miscarriage, it's like someone has turned a tap on full blast! I can't use sanitary items as they are pointless, all i can do is sit on the loo until the worst of the bleeding subsides. With the ectopic, it was just spotting with some tiny clot-like material that looked more like what u get when u wash your clothes with a tissue in the pocket, only brown. The bleeding during my healthy pregnancy was normally fresh blood from memory. i can't remember if there was any clotting etc... I didn't really take too much notice to be honest.

It's important to go and see a doctor to be checked out, but it's also just as important to stay calm for now. It could be something, it could be nothing.

I wish for you that it's nothing to worry about. Sending you happy healthy pregnancy vibes!!!

Good luck

A small amount of bleeding early in pregnancy is not unusual however I agree with Ciara it is worth getting things checked out

Thanks ciara.e its helps to know what might happen during different situations. I have had 2 days of brown spotting and this morning I woke up and went to the toilet and when i wiped the paper was covered in fresh red blood. Its still there, no clots no cramping, but still quite a bit and has mucous in it too. i rang the midwife for advice and as it is i have a scan booked in for the morning. Not much I can do but wait.

It doesn't sound too bad just now. With my most recent loss I had pretty severe cramping! Horrible back pain for weeks too. Glad to hear this isn't the case for you.

Not long to wait until your scan. Just try and keep yourself busy with other things. And keep me updated about the results! I'll be thinking of you

All the best hun

I know this might be a stupid question but if i need to have an internal ultrasound tomorrow, will they do it even if I am bleeding? Am still bleeding, just like my period.
