ok so I feel like I'm going crazy! I've been experiencing brown spotting on and off almost every 2nd week. I'm now 9…

I don't think you can self refer to an EPU, you need a GP referral. That's how it works in my area anyway. I was referred by my GP for an early scan without issue, I know it's worrying but it really is quite common in early pregnancy to bleed. I tend to find GP's and midwives unsympathetic until later in pregnancy anyway. x

Thanks for all your lovely comments it's just so frustrating when you feel like you get NO support from the midwife or GP. I have the midwife at 12:30 I will speak with her and if not I will phone the early pregnancy clinic direct. Not holding out much hope with the midwife. xx

Surely you can skip your GP and just go to your local hospital EPU for a scan? That's what I did when I had bleeding before 12 weeks. X

Some bleeds can be normal hun..and don't mean anything really. My auntie was on her 'period' throughout her pregnancy. I would still get a scan though to check everything is alright. You may have a hematoma( bleed ) on the uterus. But get plenty of rest Xx

I would demand that they scan you just to put your mind at rest, if your gp doesn't sound interested your hospital should have an early pregnancy unit, give them a call x
