14 weeks pregnant and spotting. Red area seen on cervix

Hi, I'm 14 weeks pregnant and have had brown mucous spotting intermittently since becoming pregnant. Midwives reassured that this can be normal in pregnancy but advised if it were to carry on I should get a speculum examination done to look at the cervix. I have had this done and the g.p has said she can see a reddish area with a blood clot at the lower lip of cervix. This has of course worried me, g.p is going to let me know next course of action. I'm 33 and have had two previous smear tests both normal, the last one was Feb 2017. I know that anything to do with cervix whilst pregnant needs to be approached with caution. Just looking for some feedback/advice. Thanks

  • Hello Sunshine11,

    I understand you're worried, but the best thing to do is to wait to hear about the next steps from your doctor. In the meantime, try take your mind off it and try not to look for answers online, this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. 

    I hope this helps,
