OK REALLY FREAKING OUT NOW!!!!

Yep. Lots of other causes. I have no idea about specifics but plenty of women spot during the first semester.

If it is bright red and lots of it (as you probably already know) that's when I'd get really concerned.

Or give midwife a call for reassurance.

lol Nikki is your brain on Uni? Think you mean Trimester

I second what everyone else has said so far, but I also think that if you were able to reach in and check your cervix it may have been a natural reaction that some of the mucus came away. If it wasn't bright red blood I wouldn't panic, but for peace of mind I would get it checked out. I am still sure that both you and bubs will be fine

^^^Same as everyone else has said.
Try not to freak yourself out, and if you can't help it then make an appt with your gp or midwife just for reassurance sake. (thats what I did)
I had cramps all the way through my first 12 weeks, some quite severe in the first few weeks too, apparently they can be worse in second and subsequent pregnancies as the muscles are 're-stretching'.
All the best!

Hey, how are you doing this morning?

Hi All,
Thankyou for your replies there is no sign of it this morning but in saying that i didnt get that from just whiping (SORRY WAY TO MUCH INFO!!!!)I only got very small bits mixed in with normal mucous when i did cervix check, hubby told me off for doing it because it just makes me more frantic!!! and also i thought my cervix was meant to have rissen really high by now and i dont think it has! its unbeleivably soft but still in reach????
My cramps arnt too bad, with my son i ended up in hospital with them as they were so severe but i only notice these when i sit down and think about it but thats just what im doing!! and making myself go nutts!!!
I feel like total crap thia morning - im comming down with the flu, my son is sick, i have MS and i cant even take my pregnancy vitamins because i keep on bringing them back up!! im not sad about that though because my boobs are sore again also and i was adding to the hysteria last night because my boobs wernt as sore and i didnt feel tired but this morning it is all back with evengence (good i must say )

I had a scan last week and we saw a healthy bubs with a good heartbeat but it only eased the mind for a few days

I have a MW appointment on tuesday too so i could ask then.

Thankyou ladies for the support this is always a good place to come

Hey, sorry you are freaking out. Easy to do huh??? I can't help you with the cervix thing (as I have no idea!!!) but I had browny pinky discharge for most of my first trimester with a couple of episodes of red blood. I also get this coloured discharge for a few days before my period is due. mw said it was just old blood coming away and some woman have it right through their pregnancy. Easier said than done, I know, but please try and relax, especially if you aren't feeling well (which by the way is a good sign!!) Take care.

I had mild bleeding at 8 weeks, and then mild bleeding at 10 weeks and a major bleeding at 18 weeks. Every time I thought I was loosing Zaara....but here she is healthy, happy and a very stubborn 1 year old!

Please dont worry!! I am sure all will be well!

I know how you feel right now....ask your midwife to have another scan!! You will feel better after!

I'm probably the last person to give advise right now, but if you are at all worried, I would contact your midiwfe or GP and demand an emergency scan.

I went to my GP Tuesday to ask for one simply based on intuition, and on tiny amounts of pink/red spotting in my CM at the end of each day for a week.  I mean really tiny.  When my GP wrote out the form for the scan, she told me she wasn't worried and would make it sound worse than it was just so I could get seen.  I only had the scan for peace of mind.

I got my scan, and as you've probably read by now had the worst news possible, which I really wasn't expecting.  I had a D&C yesterday.

What I've learnt from it, is trust your instincts.  There is most likely absolutely nothing wrong, but if something in your head is screaming out at you to do something, then listen.

Sorry if this comes across as scary or blunt, that truly isn't my intention.  I really doubt there is anything wrong with your baby.  S/he is most likely flipping around in there having a ball of a time! lol

emma that is funny and DH suffered the same fate...i think the whole UTI rush to scan at 7 weeks and A and E visit affected me psychsematically and him well...hes missed out a whole lot as a result lets just say...poor boy! He and Willy should talk...LOL
