8 weeks pregnant with light bleeding and cramps

in 1st Trimester
Hello all. I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and have been bleeding for 2 days now. I am bleeding a dark brown light then a little during the day. Tonight I have felt light cramp feelings. I went to my GP today and he has booked me in for a scan tomorrow afternoon, this feels like years away as I'm worried and anxious about my baby. Has anyone or is anyone going through the same symptoms as I?

Thank you

    Good call on contacting your GP. Cramping and bleeding can be normal for some women. As long as there isn't any severe pain or heavy bright red bleeding that is soaking a pad, I would do your best to stay calm until tomorrow's appointment. It's easy to ge

    In my first pregnancy I had no bleeding whatsoever so when I saw brownish blood (which means it's old blood) it really freaked me out. My fears were calmed though when I went in for an internal ultrasound and saw and heard the heartbeat. Don't believe eve

    Bleeding and cramping can be a sign of m/c. Then yet women do bleed during pregnancy in the begening. I expierenced that and unfortunantlly had a miscariage at 6 weeks. Now with this pregnancy It happened again luckily everything was ok. I say jus rest yo

    Just another reassuring story for you -- I had spotting at almost 6 weeks with my first pregnancy. Went in for the u/s the next day (and it DID feel like forever) and everything was fine. We even saw a little flicker of a heartbeat And now I have a 2-y

    I'm shy of 7 weeks , had some pretty good cramping, drink lots of water and rest as much as you can! I also had brown blood and cramping in my first trimester with my 2nd baby, all normal!  Try not to worry too much.

    Thank you for your response, it makes things a little easier knowing I can talk to other woman going through the same thing. This is my 3rd pregnancy, but I have never experience losing blood :.

    I will keep you posted x

    I had the same symptoms. I did not miscarry. I am the happy momma to a 16 month old girl. At 8 wks I was watching a movie with the hubby and felt a gush. I went to the restroom to investigate. I was bleeding fairly heavy. It trailed off to light bleeding.

    Replying about my message from earlier.

    I'm totally confused, my scan only detected the baby sack, therefore they said I'm only about 5 weeks, but going off my last period I should be 8 weeks tomorrow. I think I'm even more worried now as i

    Well try not to stress too much. The first instance of bleeding in my pregnancy we went to the er. Didn't realize it was completely pointless. The er doc could not find my uterus on the ultra sound. You read that correctly. This was an actual physician
