Hi, how much blood did you lose was it a small amount and were there any clots? No pain and cramping is a good sign. I bled on and off from 7-17 weeks with my last baby and he was absolutely fine, nobody could explain why I had it. The best thing you can do at the moment is to rest with your feet up and try not to worry although I know myself that its impossible! Fingers crossed on tuesday they will tell you that everything is ok :-))xx

No there was no clots n it seemed alot to me but slowed down by the time i got to a & e today its brown so i no its dry. Im just hoping for the best and thank you it does make me feel a little better but yes it is hard to relax as u say. Xx

Thats good then, and brown today means no fresh blood just the old. It all sounds really positive, keep your chin up roll on tuesday xxx

Meant to say, did they check baby's heartbeat in a&e? Cos you could see midwife tomorrow and get that checked by doppler which would also help to put your mind at rest xx

They did try but couldnt hear it however the screen said there was a reading of 200 we just coulnt hear it! So he said not to worry its still small xx

I'm not surprised they couldn't hear it I bet your midwife would have got it straight away lol, they don't have the experience in a&e with that that she will! Thats really good though that heartbeat was there and strong, so all sounds well :-)))))xx

Hey i just went to the toilet n there was a brown clot :-\ dont no what to think now :-( x

it may well just be blood that has build up because it is drying out - just like if you have a nose bleed, it runs at first, but clots and stops.
call your midwife for advice though, it is always best to get these things checked out.

Im going to try n ring her tomorrow but i dont think she works till wednesday so dont no what to do :-\ xx

if you cant get hold of a midwife, then go to A&E or your GP. i dont know what it is like in your area, but if my midwife isnt available they have a pager service so i can get hold of a midwife, even if it isnt my midwife. best wishes. x
