I bleed in every pregnancy and I have had four unfortunately I did miscarry one In between the four children but it's safe to say bleeding seems to be normal in some women pregnancy so try not too worry too much.. Easier said than done I know but you had a scan and everything was okay so that's a good sign.look at the positive rather than the negative.

keep us updated on how things r going good luck x

Hoping and praying that this is nothing and you finally get the child you desperately want. Let us know how things go!

Another msg reassuring you that bleeding in the first three months is relatively common.
My daughter-in-law is 9 weeks pregnant and has had bleeding on and off for a few weeks and also chronic back pain, but had a scan and babies heart is beating strongly and she has been told all is fine.
Of course you will worry, it's only natural but many have had similar symptoms and gone on to have fine healthy babies.
Try to stay calm (oh that's so easy to say isn't it) and know we are sending good wishes over the ether for you and baby.
Let us know how you progress won't you.

Hi, I can totally relate.

I had two m/c's in 2011, the second was horrific as I was nearly 12 weeks and baby had actually gotten to the 11th week before passing away.

Then in 2012 I became pregnant again after giving my body a few months rest and to grieve.

16 weeks into pregnant I was diagnosed Type 1, but leading up to that I literally had weekly little bleeds, they were the most frightening things, every time I would think its happening again! i had so many scans, mainly to put my mind at rest, this time I needed to know what was happening after every bleed.

As I write this I am listening to a very lively 11 month old boy scream at Katy Perry on tv, we were blessed this time with a healthy full term pregnancy. The bleeds stopped, finally, at around 18 weeks. I remember my Consultant at the time saying some times these things happen as womb changes, only advice we were given because of the other two m/c's was to lay off the physical side of our relationship.

Anyway, my point is, bleeds can mean the worse, but as I can prove, not always.

I send many hugs and good luck to you for a successful pregnancy

Good luck and remember to enjoy your journey xxxx

Glad it is going well - I was told that when you see the heart beat then some stat over 90% of pregnancies will go to term, so I just looked for the heart beat!

Also a friends sister accidentally got pregnant and had 'mini' periods each month which convinced her she wasn't pregnant and the Drs who started to investigate IBS, she'd kept food diaries and then found out she was nearly 20 weeks pregnant! That was a big of a surprise.

How did you get on at the scan?

Thats wonderful news before you know your longed for baby will be in your arms

Look, he/she can already say "I'm ready for my close-up Mr De Mille!"
Congratulations! Bet you can't wait to cuddle him/her!
