My story (which some of you know).

First PG ended in a missed m/c at ~10 weeks - no bleeding, no cramps - was just picked up at u/s.

Second PG this year, I had spotting (reddish through to brownish) following DTD at 5.5 weeks. Did serial HCG's (about 5 of 'em!) which did my head in a bit, as didn't seem to be increasing as quickly as they should). Subsequently scan 6.5 weeks all good, but picked up a subchorionic haem - told to cut down activity. Spotting continued (very much linked to even light walking 10 mins). Advised to take week off... dr happy for me to work from home instead (it's all desk based, so no exertion).
Subsequent 8 week scan all ok, no sign of subchorionic haem. At 8.5 weeks bled (red) through clothes) followed by spotting for a few days. Further scan revealed still no subch haem, found no cause of bleeding, but now have cyst on umbilical cord. Obs advised me to continue working from home (still no activity - bending/walking/standing/straining/sex etc allowed).

Quick check at nearly 10 weeks showed bubs still going strong.

Now i'm 10 weeks 5 days, still feel very PG and confident re the PG. Wanted to tell this story for all those who are having spotting/bleeding. It's very scary, but sometimes I think it's good because it makes sure you rest.

I'm allowed back into work for a few days this week, and have been advised to continue doing nothing till 12 weeks (not long now!). Not quite sure how much I'll be allowed to do after 12 weeks. I sympathise with everyone on bed rest, I didn't realise how nice it was to be able to pop down to the shops & just pick up some heavy food haha!

Good luck for everyone in here
