If you have not had a scan in our unit please contact your GP for advice.
The Early Pregnancy Unit does not take self-referrals.
Any amount of vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain in early pregnancy can cause concern that something is wrong with your pregnancy.
However, up to one in three women have these symptoms during the first twelve weeks of their pregnancy and it does not necessarily mean that there is a problem such as a miscarriage.
If you have a scan showing a pregnancy in the womb with a heartbeat there is a 95% chance that your pregnancy will continue if the bleeding settles down.
Please read our patient information leaflet which gives advice on:
- why you may have had vaginal bleeding and/or pelvic pain during this pregnancy
- what to do if you get further vaginal bleeding
- improving your health and the outcome of your pregnancy
