With DD I bled from 9-11 weeks, it was mostly older blood, with a few patches of red, it was determined that it was from my cervix.
This time it has been completely different..... and the reasons quite different and it took a couple of scans to get the full picture, the first being like yours in the ER of our WCH, where the OB said she thought she could see a HB, I think I saw her pick it up on the scan, but she couldn't confirm as she wasn't properly trained to use the US either. It was also an external US, where as I saw my OB two days later and she did an internal and found a HB.
I would request your next US to be an internal it will be a lot more accurate.
Bleeding in pregnancy is common and it can be terribly scary, no pain is good, and only a small amount is also good, as is the HB, I hope that it just means that you are not as far along as you thought. Big will be thinking of you for the next few days, I understand how hard this time can be xxoo
Best of luck at 10 weeks you HCG levels can already be dropping off so that is 'nt that helpful, main thing is not a lot of blood and no pain, are all good signs.
I have had bleeding in all of my pregnancies with good and bad results, it is extremely worrying I would suggest taking it very easy, no lifting, rest with legs elevated when possible and no sex, usually if you make it through the first trim you will be okay..the risk of MC drops off dramatically especially when a HB has been seen.
Good luck and take it easy.
and wish you all the best!
