Spotting 10 days till Week 5

I personally know of women who spot/bleed throughout their pregnancies and are classified as unexplained bleeding but go on to birth healthy babies if this makes you feel better. It could be hormonal and difficult even for medical professionals to pinpoint the exact reason why one is bleeding, unfortunately 😔 I’d advice you to take bed rest whenever possible and also, request for duphaston (oral progesterone) pills from your gynae to stabilise your pregnancy. My own personal experience with spotting lasted from weeks 7 to 17 and it was due to cervical polyps. After my gynae removed the polyps, my spotting stopped entirely and I am currently in week 27 of my pregnancy. You might want to ask your gynae to check for polyps to rule that out.

I had brown spotting during my first trimester too. Gynae said no issues after doing all the necessary checks and my friend told me prolly was all the “old blood” being expelled from my body too. Everything progressed smoothly and fast forward to today, I’ll be delivering next month. So don’t worry too much! Week 5 is still pretty early on, as some commented here as long as no fresh blood accompanied by cramps, it’s ok! By week 8, u will be able to hear your bb’s heartbeat alr, relax in the meanwhile and keep ur everyday duties light!

I had spotting similar to yours all the way in my first trimester. Then when I hit my second trimester, it stopped completely. I am now in week 32 of my pregnancy and my baby has been growing happy and healthily. I’d say take the necessary precautions and checks from your gynae but also don’t worry or read up too much about it because curiousity and anxiety kills the cat! If you don’t have any fresh blood or cramps, you’re generally fine!

*Update: Did the 2nd blood test, there was an optimal rise in my HCG. Doctor said implantation bleeding may still be ongoing, nothing to worry. Appreciate those who shared your experiences, and hope this will come in useful for anyone who experience the same symptoms. All the best everyone!

Same here, had some prolonged spotting in first trimester and I had a small clot which resolved on its own by second trimester. You should be ok, don’t worry too much!

can i check how much they charge for such a&e visit and how long did you have to wait?

it was normal for me, cos i had polyp. baby now born healthy
