Bleeding at 8 weeks but no cramps.

So I laid down to take a nap and about an hour later I was bleeding and it was bright red. I have no cramps or any odd pains. I have had miscarriage before but it was bad cramping and heavier bleeding. Should I be worried? I don't have an apointment til the 28th and I am 8 weeks today.

    Light bleeding is okay. Normal even. If it's not heavy and you aren't in pain, you don't have anything to worry about. Just rest, try to relax, stay hydrated, and pay attention to your body. If something hurts or the bleeding gets darker or heavier, I would give your doc a call, but I'm sure you're okay :-)

    I would call your doctor and let them know. They can decide if you should be seen earlier than your appointment. Bleeding can be normal, but as you know it can also not be. I'd be more comfortable letting the expert decide if I were in your shoes.

    You're doctor doesn't have an answering service or an after hours phone number? Most doctors have a phone line for emergencies that can occur after hours of operation.

    Couple of things... have u had sex in the last 2 days? Have u done any major lifting or cleaning? Any burning or stinging when you urinate? Taken any meds?

    Your ob should have an after hours number or even L&D at the hospital may can help. Good luck!

    I'm going through something similar but not bright red just brown. I called the doctor and bleeding isn't considered normal, but it is common. All they told me to do is to monitor it. If you're bleeding through a pad an hour you need to be seen, or if there are clots, grey tissue you should be seen. I know my sister and mom had light "periods" the firsr three months. Sometimes your body thinks it still needs one. Keep us updated! ♡♡
