Hi Jay Jay,

I'm fairly new to this forum too and I've found it a bounty of information and peace of mind.

I had a similar bleeding episode when I was at 13 weeks with our second daughter Charlotte. I had been cleaning all day and chasing after a hands on everything crawling baby and when I was sitting down with DH watching tv I felt an enormous draining feeling and I ran to the toilet. Blood gushed into the loo and my pants were drenched too and when I wiped myself there was a long thick clot which I collected. My husband rushed me to the hospital where I waited in the emergency department anxiously for a doctor to see me. Eventually, I saw a Dr and upon examination of both the clot and my cervix, he claimed that I had m/c'd and told me to come back in the morning to make arrangements for a d&c. When I turned up the next morning fully expecting to be 'cleaned out', the lovely midwives sent me to the ultrasound room where I had both the external scan and an internal one. Baby was alive and kicking and my cervix was closed. I was never given a full explanation of what happened. I had spotting for about a week and a half which of course I was very concerned about, just like yourself. Subsequent visits to Dr's two weeks later showed everything was okay. I now have a healthy active 20 month old girl.

I thought that by letting you know what happened to me and that there was a happy outcome that it may give you some peace of mind. Best of luck for tomorrow Jay Jay.
