Nasty shock this morning - bleeding

Melissa

Hi all - I woke up this morning to find blood when I wiped. I’d describe it as a very light period flow at this stage. I’m 37, this is my first pregnancy and I’m 8 weeks along.

I’ve called for a GP appointment... just wondering if anyone has any advice for me? I know it could be for a variety of reasons but not sure what to do with myself now... stay home? Go to work? Try and get a scan? Will a scan even tell me anything if it’s early stages of a MC?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated and I’m feeling a bit lost.
