nearly 3 months pregnant and just saw some bleeding

I've also got slight twinges.. not painful but they are low pains and just saw blood after going to the loo. I've read it's usually ok if it's a dark colour but it's bright red with slight clotting. Should I go to A&E or just contact my midwife if I can find the no?

    You can't ask for medical advice here hun, please ring NHS direct/24. The board guides will delete the post.

    Fingers crossed for you.

    oh dear, I'm sorry. Since you have cramps and bright red blood I'd go down to A&E if it's not too far. Hope everything's okay

    i had this exact thing, and 6 months later my son was born - try not to worry too much, it may not be what you think. i dont advise a&e though, i went cos i didnt know what else to do and got told by the doctors it was pointless to be there cos there was nothing they could do either way at such an early stage. they arranged a scan for me for the next morning, nobody could be bothered to scan me on a sunday evening. speak to your midwife, she should be able to arrange a scan for you asap. if you cant get hold of your midwife, ring your local midwife-led birth centre. good luck xx

    Call your midwife first off. If you want someone to see you tonight, then she's the best person to speak with to know what you'll be able to expect on a Sunday night in terms of going to the hospital.

    The problem with going to A&E is that it can involve alot of sitting about and often not in private, which isn't going to be what you need to be doing.

    Give her a call first off before you go anywhere and see what she says.
