    Glad you understand. Most 2nd year nursing students didn't understand it LOL

    Yes, they gave you a shot today because of the bleeding. Since they don't know the blood type of the baby they are protecting the baby by giving you the shot. This is why it is advised that you get the shot anytime there is bleeding since we don't know if baby's blood is mixing with yours or not.

    I know you are in the UK, but this is how we do it in the US. Here in the US whenever a gal comes into the L&D with any form of bleeding, and she is negative, she gets the shot. It doesn't matter how many times, but we give it to protect the baby.

    As I said, Melissa, you are in the UK, I am in the US, that is how we do it here. Check with your MW and see if she feels this is necessary for you. I am not sure how it is done there.

    And you are VERY welcome. Anytime you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask.

    i had no pain and spotting only happened when i wiped so i didnt think anything of it.
    last night i went to the bathroom at approx 3am to find more pink spotting which i got quite worried about i went to docs first thing this morning who have arranged an emergency scan for tomorrow!
    my doctor has been really good and has told me its prob nothing to worry about as there is no pain and its just a little bit of spotting which prob only lasts for 5 mins!
    at this moment in time i have no more spotting or anything but am in a bit of discomfort with my back it is killing me i dont no if the baby could be lay on a nerve or something but its hurting!
    could someone tell me if its anything to worry about and has anyone experienced the same things as me and carried on with a healthy pregnancy im so scared right now just want to know my little baby is ok!
    thanks melissa
    Hi I had the same problem. The docter ordered a emergancy ultrasound because he thought it might have been possible miscarige. Only to find at the ultra sound everything was fine and that it turned out I was expecting twins
