Bleeding or spotting.
Hi ladies. Just wanted to share a wee experience just to put anyone in the same situation at ease a bit. I started spotting very light over the weekend. Saturday was a little red blood on the tissue when I wiped. Sunday morning a little red spot on my underwear and when I wiped. As the day went on it become slightly heavier but no need for a sanitary towel. But the blood was red and quite a lot on the tissue when I wiped. I called nhs 24 and I spoke with a nurse whom had no concerns and said bleeding is very common in first 12 weeks of pregnancy as the body is adapting to accommodate a baby and I was probably just having a pregnancy stain. On Sunday night before bed I found a small clot and the blood was a bit heavier. I put a sanitary towel on and in the morning there was blood on it. I called the early pregnancy unit and the midwife there told me to rest assured that bleeding red blood and small clots are perfectly normal and as long as I am in no pain or soaking through a sanitary towel quickly which I am not, then it is absolutely normal. I am not saying don't call to put your mind at but please do not panic as all the medical people I spoke to over the weekend told me its completely normal to bleed/spot/have clots as long as it's not causing extreme pain.
I really hope this helps and try not to google your symptoms it just feeds your already panicked mind.
Good luck to all you ladies and have safe happy pregnancies xxx
