Bleeding At 5-6 Weeks.

[NoMercy]

I hope Sqad is around.

I arrived in Croatia this morning and went for a walk around the old town. When I got back to the hotel I noticed a bit of brown sludge followed by reddish/pinkish blood. This stopped for a few hours and then tonight I had a repeat of this.

I've had no pains or cramps whatsoever. I have been stressed out with the travelling and my glands are still swollen after 10 days.

Any advice would be appreciated:(

Lie down fast and stay there. Elevate hips. Seek medical advice. I lost a 1st pregnancy like this. Good luck.

[ummmm]

It is quite common in early pregnancy. Worrying though...xx

[jourdain2]

Sqad - advice needed here.

I had this at 8 weeks with my first pregnancy. Midwife just said it's normal, but, whatever will be, will be. Just put your feet up and try not to stress.

[ummmm]

I would try and get to a doctor for a blood test.

Sqad is not usually around at this time...

Not stressing is good advice, rocky.

I was told the Gynaecologist only works until 7pm so I'll have to wait until tomorrow:(

[rockyracoon]

I bet it's cleared up by tomorrow morning.

[ummmm]

Get plenty of rest until then xx

[jourdain2]

Sleep with a pillow under the hips (I didn't know this before) and do as Rocky says.:)

There's a bit of stretchy stuff coming out but again I've not had the slightest twinge or cramp x

[ummmm]

No cramps is a good sign x

Does sound similar to my experience. I now have a lazy, 17 year old to show for it.

[jourdain2]

That's good, No Mercy, my early mis. was like a really, really horrible period.

^^^ Keep the pelvis elevated!

[ummmm]

And mine. I was getting pains for days beforehand...x

Copy and pasted from NHS website

In early pregnancy you might get some perfectly harmless light bleeding, called "spotting". This is when the developing embryo plants itself in the wall of your womb. This often happens around the time that your first period after conception would have been due.

It's not unusual nm, but you are at the stage when you need to rest as much as possible after a long journey. Don't get up too early, and have an hour or so in the afternoon. Try not to have late nights.
I ain't squad , but I am a medic. Also I have four sprogs. :-)

I'm a bit far along for an implantation bleed.

I'll try sleeping with a pillow under my bum and just keep everything crossed x

[ummmm]

That would depend on how far along in your cycle you conceived. 5 weeks means your period is only a week late.
