I’m 16 weeks and have had very light spotting today. Has anyone else had this? Trying not to worry! I had a small Subchorionic hematoma in first trimester but at the 12 week scan it seemed to have gone away.

My LO has a very stuffy nose and chesty cough. I worry he is not breathing properly. I’ve tried to give saline drops and to suction mucus from his nose, but he is absolutely not having it.
