Hi guys,
I am 8 weeks pg and I had some bleeding on Friday, obviously went into panic mode, so phoned the hospital and they advised me to come in for an emergency scan on Sunday morning. Was a bit worried as we had our in-laws coming for lunch and was nervous about how I would conduct myself had everything gone pear shaped. Anyway, the point of my email is to just reassure anyone else that has had any bleeding/ brown discharge of any description. This is such a common problem and usually there is no explanation for it but the baby is fine. I hope that has put anybody's mind at rest who is in the same situation as I was. Was great to see the heart beat on screen and the little bean was 13mm long - Ahhhhh!
Happy pregnancies!

Great news hun im so glad everything is ok for you, I really hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well!

I would just like to add though that bleeding is common and a high percentage of women go on to have healthy babies BUT bleeding should never be ignored and it is always advisable to get checked out or get advice from a medical professional.

Thank you for sharing your good news with us Congratulations on your pregnancy.
As Jo has said, any bleeding should be checked out by a professional medical person, so get advice if you have this.
But please note that a large number of woman DO have some sort of discharge/ bleeding during the first tri.......this is for the most part nothing to worry about. so try not to stress.
Unfortunately for a smaller number of woman like myself and breezee here it can mean things have went wrong and that the reason why we need to go get checked out straight away.

But PLEASE ladies....looks at the POSITIVE here, Most ladies go on to have healthy happy babies so YES go get advice but try not to worry.

I had lots of bleeding in this pregnancy, was worried all the time, in the end they told me to ring straight through to epau instead of getting refered by gp i was that much of a visitor lol..

all is good now though, bleeding is normal, but is worrying as well
