Spotting or Bleeding in Early Pregnancy

If you have any bleeding during your pregnancy, accompanied or unaccompanied by pain, it’s very important to get it checked out.

It’s common to have spotting or light bleeding in pregnancy during the first trimester, for several reasons.

Implantation bleeding

Implantation occurs when the fertilised egg embeds into the womb, and usually happens around the time that your period would be due. An implantation bleed is usually very light spotting, and can be pink or brown in colour. It usually only lasts for a day or two, but can sometimes last slightly longer.

Cervical changes

Pregnancy hormones can cause changes to the cervix, as it gets an increased blood supply and becomes softer. This can cause some bleeding, particularly after sex (known as post coital bleeding).

Infection

Occasionally bleeding can be caused by an infection, which would need to be treated by your GP/ healthcare provider.

Sometimes, bleeding can be caused by something more serious, which is important to get checked out.

Ectopic pregnancy

An ectopic pregnancy is where the fertilised egg implants outside of the womb, and can cause bleeding, pain on one side of your abdomen, pain in the tip of your shoulder, and discomfort when going to the toilet.

Molar pregnancy

A molar pregnancy is when a foetus has not formed properly in the womb, and can cause bleeding, severe morning sickness and an unusually swollen tummy.

The Wellbeing of My Baby approach

We know that having a baby is the most special thing to happen in a woman’s life. That is why when you visit us at our clinic, our Sonographers will take you through a supportive, personalised service that gets to the heart of your concerns and explores what you are hoping to gain from your scan. We can give you a more thorough understanding of how your baby is growing and developing throughout your pregnancy. Our aim is to provide you with high quality scans which include an educational experience that comes together to have you leaving our clinic feeling knowledgeable and empowered.

I had two scans with Eisher and found her to be so lovely,  she was a thorough professional, caring, friendly, positive, kind and personable. The clinic itself was very inviting as was spacious, warm and welcoming. I would definitely come again if ever needed a private scan and would recommend Eisher/clinic to anyone thinking of booking a scan. You will be  great hands and definitely leave with a smile on your face :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing service! Eisher is really a professional. She went above and beyond to meet the needs we had. Explains everything in plain and understandable manner. Also, we were surprised that she encouraged us to ask any question and call her if we have forgotten anything or need information. Very clean facility! I will have every check up I need with her by default. If you wonder where to do your scans, look no further. You will be happy with her! Thank you, Eisher! X

So easy to communicate with and answers all questions and concerns even when she's off work or busy! I even reached out to her many weeks after my appointment as I had a concern about baby's growth and she was so eager to help. She's just Brilliant! Thank you!
