Hi ladies
Just looking for some advice/ reassurance really. I'm pregnant for the second time after ttc my daughter for 4 years and then having 2 cycles of IVF. This pregnancy happened naturally - just before we were about to have another go at IVF
So I'm about 9 weeks now, and last week had some brown spotting then pinky/ red blood one day when I wiped after going to the toilet. The hospital said I could go in and get checked and they scanned me - all looked fine and I saw a little heartbeat
The brown spotting went away for a few days but then last night I went to the toilet in the middle of the night and there was more fresh blood when I wiped. However it had gone this morning, in its place just some brown spotting.
Anyway the midwife at the hospital has said I can go in for another scan at the end of this week if I want to. She was nice but sort of said that they don't normally scan you unless you are really bleeding. I suppose I don't want to be wasting their time and am wondering whether I should go or not. Maybe I should just relax and wait for my 12 week scan in about 4 weeks?
Has anyone experienced something similar?
Thanks ladies
