I need advice…
I am 8 weeks pregnant. Tonight I have been having painful cramping and dark pink spotting (not enough to need a pad but enough its there every wipe)…
I was wondering if I should just go to emerg and check it out?? I have a fairly physical job and want to make sure that wont cause more problems - I havent told work yet so if there is an issued Id want a doctors note for me to take it easy for a couple days if necissary. I live in Canada and the hospital is a 10 minute drive…

Go in. Don’t take unnecessary risks.
Have them do an ultra sound to see how the baby is doing
Go to the hospital if it’s so close why not just get checked over

Go in. I’d rather be safe than sorry. I was supposed to take it easy at my last job but bc we were so short staffed I was constantly on my feet and lifting heavy shit and I really feel like it is why my water broke and my son came a month early.
This sounds similar to when I miscarried, i would go asap just to be safe.

I don’t see why you shouldn’t just go and get checked out. This question seems kind of unnecessary. Anytime you have bleeding during a pregnancy you should ALWAYS go get looked at.

I’d get checked out but implantation bleeding is common…i had it and my son was full term
I would definitely go get checked. Better to be safe than sorry. Hope everything turns out okay for you.
Get checked right away is the best
It never hurts to go get checked it puts your mind at ease
Maybe it’s time to stop your heavy physical job nd go to the doctors.
I would definitely go to emergency and get checked out just to be safe.
Idk why everyone encourages y’all to go to the ER when there isn’t anything that can be done anyway. All that will do is take up time and space in the ER. The best thing to do is just rest and call your OB in the morning.

Has anyone honestly ever been pregnant and went to the hospital because of spotting this early on??? I have a I’ll tell you it’s a waste of time there is nothing the hospital can do for you but charge you money and tell you to call your ob! If it’s heavy bleeding they do a exam and maybe ultrasound but again what is that going to do if your this early if your going to have a miscarriage it’s going to happen and going to get checked won’t stop it ! Going to the hospital isn’t always the answer

In the first trimester, spotting and mild cramping is common, but should be reported to your Doctor. Having painful cramps is a bit concerning, it wouldn’t hurt to check in with you OBGYN.
Go to get it checked out please be on safe side
Er. Any bleeding needs to be checked out while pregnant

Go.
Get a note.
You simply can’t do overly physical jobs right now. It’s not safe.

Absolutely let your dr know
Actually there is something the ER can do! They can tell you if your baby is ok or not! Yes cramping and bleeding can be normal but it can also mean something bad that you don’t wanna hear so you have to always get it checked out just to be safe

It’s probably nothing to be concerned about, but I would go just in case. You never know. Go for your own peace of mind. Better safe then sorry! Hope everything is okay mama 
You need to drink water andofs of it
Everyone says go to the ED but the 2 miscarriages I had at home, they hurt and everything but I was able to just pass them in the bath. You can go in if you want but they can’t do much for you there. Best to wait it out at home. More comfortable

Go to the hospital… Don’t even hesitate.
Same thing happened to me at 8 weeks. Triage nurse was annoyed I was there, told me not to come in again unless I filled a pad in an hour (however I was seen by a doctor after 6 hours and everything was fine). Go with your gut!
Call your OB’s emergency line and see what they say. If the cramping gets worse and/or unbearable then you definately need to go to the ER. There isn’t really anything they can do aside from pain management if needed and if - God forbid- it is a miscarriage, make sure you don’t need any further medical intervention. I bled off and on from 7wks until 6months due to a placenta previa with one of my twins. Good luck.
Get docs or nurses advise not people’s advise they are not qualified
Go to the ER you could be having a miscarriage
