I had bleeding in my first pregnancy at around 13 to 14 weeks. Had a scan and everything was fine. They offered to do an internal examination which I declined as they said they still might not know the reason for the bleeding. I was scared to death but fortunately it was a one off. After all the worry I gave birth to a baby girl on her due date who is now a 5 year old who I still worry about!!

hey i had bleeds with both mine with 1st it lasted about 2 months and second only a couple of days. if its brownish blood i was told it was old blood and this is what i had for 2 months. if at any time it becomes bright red again you need to give your m/w a ring xxx

I went through unexplained bleeding through both of my pregnancies, with both of them it only lasted a day at a time. The first pregnancy it happened twice and the second three times. If you're still bleeding tomorrow or if you get any pains then give the maternity unit a ring back but if it stops then just try and rest and relax x
