I know lots of ladies on here worry about spotting/bleeding...I was one of them until today and wanted to share my experience in the hope that it eases some of your anxiety if you are one of those ladies.
I have been experiencing spotting for about 4 days and it seemed to get heavier so after being told by out of hours doctor that it sounded like I was having a miscarriage but to go to A&E to check...of I trotted to hospital preparing myself for the worst.
I arrived, did urine sample, blood test and they sent me off for a scan right then and there (I love the NHS, I know not eveyone is as lucky as I was t oday)...long story short...I saw my baby AND its heartbeat! Doc said risk of miscarriage is now significantly reduced, all is as it should be, measurement was right for the stage of pregnancy and my pregnancy was classed as viable with a 90%+ chance of success.
This has eased my worry more than I can explain, I know how terrifying it can be to think there is something wrong but what I hope to get across by writing this is that spotting or bleeding should always be checked out but it doesnt ALWAYS mean disaster.
