Bleeding in 12th week

Help! I just went to he loo and noticed that the water was really pink when I flushed it. Did another wipe and there was blood. It has now stopped (only lasted 20secs) and there was nothing on my underwear at all, strange. Rang MW and she said not to worry unless it starts again and dosnt stop. Still feeling freaked out. Has this happened to anyone before? Its probably been talked about before but in a panic and didnt want to search through pages. Need reassurance!

If you don't have any cramping or pains in the tummy then you should be ok. I had a very small bleed at 15 weeks which totally FREAKED me out, had a scan a day later & showed baby was fine, but it had come from behind the placenta which FREAKED me out again!! I haven't had any bleeding since & didn't have any pains or cramping at all with the bleed.

Its not nice seeing blood down there when pg though, so hope everythings ok & it settles down quick. Don't hesitate to go to Dr or MW & get cervix checked (makes sure its closed) if you're worried though. I went to A&E when it happened to me as I didn't want to wait for a scan & that gave me peace of mind as they did blood tests & cervix check & we heard the heartbeat on the dopler.

Had you just had "special cuddles" that can cause bleeding. I got that early on and it put me off sex!!! Then at about 18 weeks I got the slightest bleed (about a drop or 2 on a panty liner). Totally freaked me out as I was away from home and DF. Midwife toldme much the same as yours. I didnt get a scan as I was away and just had a stressful couple of days.....but nothing came of it. Peanut is kicking me like mad and I'll never know.

Apparently it is VERY common especially aroun 4,8,12 weeks (ie when your period would have happened)

Hopefully as long as there is no cramping and the bleeding doesn't have any clotting (big or small) you should be fine.
Don't want to put a damper on it, but I started bleeding (with cramps) at 12 weeks, just a few days before my 12 week scan, and it got worse, then at my scan it showed my baby hadn't grown since about 8 1/2 weeks and I was finally m/c.

Sending best wishes and hoping that its just a wee bleed - so many women get it during pregnancy! My MIL told me that she bled right through when she had my DH! Scary!

With no cramping and bleeding settling, it sounds like you'll be okay. But take this week easy and roll on Friday!

I had three lots of bleeding with the gremlins, at 5, 9 and 25 weeks. After the 9 week bleed my midwife told me that first tri bleeding often comes from the mother not the baby and is common around the times your periods would have been due.

Best of luck with your scan this week Topsy!
