Hi mum, I totally understand how scary that must have been! The good news is that bleeding at 11 weeks doesn't always mean something's wrong, some mums I know have had spotting or even heavier bleeding around this time and gone on to have perfectly healthy pregnancies, while others unfortunately faced complications. Since your doctor's already checked and baby's doing well on scan, that's a really positive sign to hold onto. That said, bleeding can sometimes point to a few different things (infection, cervix issues, or in some cases something more serious), so it's worth staying in close touch with your doctor and going back straightaway if the bleeding gets heavier, you develop cramping, or anything else feels off. Wishing you all the best, do check in with your specialist about what to watch out for in the coming days.
I’ve had sudden bleeding at week 6 and week 9. Doc said it could be due to the expanding of uterus, causing surrounding blood vessels to burst. I was given lots of progesterone medication to support the pregnancy, and asked to bed rest 100% esp during first week of bleeding. So i guess just rest as much as possible!! :D Hope all goes well for you and your little one!
