On Tuesday 24th September, I took three pregnancy tests because my period was late. All came back positive. The third one was done late at night on Tuesday or just after midnight.

Fast forward to today. I’ve been having some bleeding and I have contacted the doctors, who then passed me on to EGU (Emergency Gynaecology Unit) and told me that bleeding is common in early pregnancy. I’m 4 weeks & 5 days pregnant (the first day of my last period was the 25th of August) and to keep an eye on the bleeding “if it can fill a pad or two in less than an hour or the bleeding lasts more than 7 days get back in contact”.

My concern is that the blood is not light pink any more, it’s dark red. I’m not having any painful cramps but my back is hurting. (This is my second pregnancy)

I haven’t filled a pad but when I go toilet some blood will leak out. Should I get back in contact with EGU or just wait it out and hope for the best?
