Update Bleeding/Spotting

I am 7 weeks pregnant and I had a big scare last Wed. morning...woke up at 1:00 am to use the bathroom and was bleeding bright red blood like a light period. It lasted a couple of hours and was only pink spotting by morning. Dr. Braverman called me as soon as he got my email and said not to worry, that it can be pretty common in early pregnancy...could be caused by a subchorionic hematoma, but he did not see one on Monday's ultrasound. Could also just be irritation to the cervix. He didn't think that it was necessary to get an ultrasound, so I didn't. My next ultrasound is scheduled for tomorrow (Mon). I haven't had anymore bleeding, but I have been still having bright to dark red spotting off and on. I am staying on partial bed rest until my ultrasound on Monday. Even though Dr. Braverman says to take a deep breath and not worry, it is so very hard! Has this happened to anyone else and if so did they put you on bed rest or anything...what was your outcome? I guess that it is concerning me that it seems to go away and then when I awake in the morning there it is again and then sometimes throughout the day. I am so worried about the baby and tomorrow can't come soon enough...trying to stay calm!!!

Wed 10/24...Baby looked fine on ultrasound this past Monday. The doctor did see a Subchorionic Hematoma so that is where the bleeding/spotting is coming from. The good news is that it isn't near the baby and they are hoping that it will resolve quickly. I am on rest for now and go back next Monday to get it rechecked. Thanks for everyone's responses and for helping to ease my mind.
