Spotting at 30 weeks???? :(

you must get a wee infection test done just in case! it can cause premature labour if not treated

Did yours just stop then hun? xx

yup. it was weird.
i went to the toilet and it came out like a pink watery mucousy show...
I went to the hospital and was there for 3 hours with nothing more on a pad or anything so they let me go.
I went home and within 4 hours I was spotting bright red but only a finger tip full.
I then went back to the hospital where they did a speculum exam and said they could see blood in the vagina and they want me to stay in.. funny thing was that there was more blood on the speculum than on anything else.
That night I had no more bleeding, nothing....

I was scanned and all was ok and then sent home. This happened on a wed and I was discharged thurs. By Friday I had the normal white discharge though friday morning it was off white (but no blood)

I spoke to the health visitor the other day about it as my baby seems to have flipped into breech position from head down.
She asked when it was I found out he was breech and I told her he must have flipped breech on the night before the bleed as the morning before it (tuesday) I had seen the MW and she said he was head down with bum up to my left hand side.

She seems to think that because my son did a u-turn and went from head down to completely breech that this caused the bleed. (she was once a midwife, fully trained)

No explanation from the drs and they wasnt aware my baby was ever anything other than breech-
I have no idea what caused it but since had an extra scan, (paid for) and hes still breech with no issues found

Awww bless you, that was a long process then!! Well youve reassured me loads. Thanks for that xx

it was an awful process... Id told the drs to piss off more than once (ive got a phobia of hospitals) so I was sat there for 3 hours trying to decide whether or not i'd allow the dr to examine me.

glad ive reassured you, though I too need a bit of reassurance as Im convinced its gonna happen again been researching endlessly to try find reasons for it. I think thats the worst part, not knowing why it happened.
