8w 5 days - pink discharge when I wipe- should I be worried? -UPDATE

[vitriolic_vix]

Hi ladies,

As per the title. I'm panicking a little if I'm honest. I had a horrible pregnancy last time and bled a lot but not in the first trimester. I know it's quite common but cant help but feel worried.

I've called the early pregnancy unit who said I need to see my gp. Have made an appointment for later today. The midwife said I should ask to be seen if I had any problems as I only have one tube following surgery last year.

Has anyone has this and everything been ok

UPDATE - I've just been to the EPU for a scan and baby is fine. I got quite emotional when I saw its little heart flickering away heck there is actually a baby there. I'm going to be a mummy of 2 They used it as my dating scan and put be back from 9 weeks to 8 weeks 5 days. Thanks everyone

Oh, I wouldn't worry. I get spotting all the way through the first trimester and into the second. It happens if I push to poop (I spot pink or red the day after pushing or even 2 days later!). It also happens from sex. The cervix is very sensitive in early pregnancy, and my cervix gets more sensitive with every pregnancy, so I spot/bleed more with each baby. Sometimes, I spot for seemingly no reason.. Maybe I coughed too much or lifted too much? Who knows? But I've got 4 perfect babies and spotted through much of three of the pregnancies. Actually, I just wiped pink when I peed a few minutes ago because I pooped last night. TMI, but I hope it calms you.

Thanks ladies. I've been to the doctors and she has referred me to the early pregnancy unit for a scan first thing on Friday morning. I've got some period type cramps and just feel like I'm about to come on so she thought I should go just to be on the safe side. It could just be that I overdid it yesterday but I'm fretting nevertheless so I'm glad that I'm being seen this week to ease my mind. As it's still early I've not seen a heartbeat or anything yet so that will help I think.

May have you been seen yet???

I am having spotting like this for over a month now... it comes and goes. My scan at 8w4d was fine after two weeks of spotting. Now, I just try not to worry and wait for my next scan next week.
spotting is pretty common at this point. unless it turns heavy like a period with clots and cramps, most cases you should be ok.

I had a bleed at 8 weeks, not loads but covering the tissue when I wiped and a bit on the pad, it was sort of pinky red. Had a scan and all was fine, just a little pocket of blood in my uterine lining that they said was very common. There are lots of reasons why spotting happens early. The other main one is a delicate cervix. I hope your scan is lovely, try to relax and get some extra rest x

I was seen and they used a handheld crappy ultrasound thing.. they were quite sure they saw the heartbeat but I have an appointment for an ultrasound tomorrow. I got home and tried my doppler (been hearing heartbeat for 3 days now with my Sonoline B) and got the heartbeat right away, 178-180, thank god! I honestly think I may have had a subchronic hemorage.. right now theres nothing else but untill about an hour ago it was still pink when i would wipe..but only when i wipe.

Glad yours went well too May! Did they say what had caused your bleeding? They couldn't find anything to cause mine. Just one of those things I suppose. Feel like I can relax a bit now though at least.

Do you have to back or anything

Pic attached too!

They could see a very very tiny "suspected" hematoma at the bottom of my uterus.. they said everything should be fine and its not something they are concerned about because its so small.
