Hi everyone, some people might remember ny story, others wont so i will briefly go through it. Had my coil removed 28/08 and Started ttc #3 after my first period 13/09, was due af on 16/10 and got faint positive on 11/10 but then started bleeding on 12/10, i assumed it was the witch. 5 day heavy bleed full of clots, i assumed a chemical and continued with life, we went away for the weekend on 19/10 and on the sunday at the fair my boobs where hurting, i said to my husband i think am about to ovulate. Later at home 2 postive opks. That was early cd10, am usually cd18-22, i continued to test and after 4 days of positive opks i decided to pregnancy test. Knock me down with a feather i had numerous Bfps 2-3 on clearblue. I had a little spotting a week later and hospital wouldnt allow me to book in due to the original bleed so i booked private scan. Empty sac, 2 weeks later on 8/11 showed baby and heartbeat measuring 6 weeks 6 days. I was over the moon. Had my booking in appointment on 20/11 and all was good however on Wednesday 21/11 i didnt feel right, had what can only be described as period pains to my sides, i stood off the sofa and felt something come out, it was blood and lots of it, it continued for half an hour, clots, bright red blood, blood ended up up my bathroom walls, i was convinced the baby was gone, my husband took me to epu and they checked my cervix which was still closed and bleeding easing off but due to the bleeding they were assessing me for miscarriage and i had to go back the next day for a scan. I convinced myself baby would be gone and the next day i had the scan, baby was there alive and well with a nice heartbeat and measuring bang on from my last scan 8 weeks 6 days. They couldnt see any source to the bleeding but told me to rest. Now i am absolutely terrified, i have had constant mild period pains and back ache, the bleeding has stopped but occasionally when i wipe old brown blood is on the tissue. Has anybody been through this and baby has been ok? With my previous 2 pregnancies i never bled at all.

Sorry for the long post, i know i said i would briefly explain, thank you for reading if u got this far, i am currently 9 weeks and 1 day xx
 
That sounds super scary. Sorry you are having to deal with that! Glad baby is okay. I haven't had any bleeding in pregnancy but I know some ladies on here have and babies turned out fine :)

Oh my how frightening for you. I havent personally experienced it but so glad baba is doing well. I know sometimes they cant explain the source of the bleeding. Will they scan you more regularly?
 
Sorry you are going through this, how scary! Glad baby is ok. I have had bleeding on and off with this pregnancy at 6,8,10 and 14 weeks but not to the extent you have had but I know of people who have had big bleeds, been convinced they have lost the baby and baby has been absolutely fine. Any bleed no matter how big or small is terrifying. I never had any bleeding with my previous pregnancy. This pregnancy I had early scans because of bleeding a scan at 6 weeks showed baby with a heartbeat and a 8cm ovarian cyst... I thought I was 8 weeks and was pretty certain about this I was told to go back for an 8 week scan to check pregnancy was viable and thankfully baby was growing and all was fine so I was discharged by EPU.... very scary time though. Now having a hard time with this cyst and being referred to specialists to talk about removing it. I hope your bleeding stops and you are able to enjoy your pregnancy x
 
Hi Vicky, sorry that you are going through this :( for reassurance I can tell you that in my pregnancy with my DD, I spotted and bled heavily for the first 17 weeks. They couldn't find anything wrong and said it must have been my cervix. Everything turned out okay and she is 10.5 years old now. With my pregnancy with my DS, I began bleeding badly around 9 weeks. They found a subchorionic hematoma, but he was okay. I bled for several weeks and he is now 4.5.

I know it's a worrying time and I empathize with you completely, but rest assured that baby is most likely okay. Hugs!

No the lady just said baby is fine, i should take some time off work and try to rest. I am awaiting my 12 week scan appointment and that should be here soon. I may book a private scan this week to see how things are going. Xx
 
Thank you everybody for your replies. This is a very scary time and i do have mild pains and backache but i will try to remain positive xx
 
I'm glad you're okay! This happened to my friend with two pregnancies, the first was due to a subchorionic hemotoma and eventually placenta previa. Her little guy was born premature but is doing well now! Her second pregnancy she had the same bleeding you described early on and they couldn't find the source. After 12 weeks she was diagnosed with placenta previa again. She's now 18 weeks, the bleeds have stopped and by all accounts looks like she'll carry to term!
 
Oh hang in there! I had bleeding with DD - spotting straight away that went on and off, some days worse than others. Mostly just brown spotting but sometimes like a light period with red blood. It was completely unnerving and scary and I never got an explanation for it!! It eventually tapered off in second trimester.... DD is 5 years old and flourishing!!

This time I had straight up RED spotting that scared the bejeebers out of me - again no explanation - but baby looking good at 12 weeks.... so fingers crossed


No amount of bleeding in pregnancy is technically considered “normal” but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen and it also doesn’t mean that things will go badly!

Try to drink water and take it easy as much as you can! Keep us posted! It could be something as simple as a cyst!! :hugs:

When i had an early scan when there was only the sac there i was told i had 2 cysts on my right ovary however on my last scan she said my ovary was clear so who knows. The bleeding has stopped now and i have hardly had any pain today so fingers crossed. Got my 12 week scan appointment through today, its next Thursday 6th but i have booked a sneaky private scan in for tomorrow, i feel like i need a little reassurance. I will keep you all updated, thanks for your reassurance xx

So i had my scan this morning, it seems i have a subchorionic hematoma. It was clear as anything. Baby was fine, measuring a day ahead and literally its arms and legs where moving kicking and punching about, so active. The hematoma is only small so hopefully it might reabsorb but if not i can expect to bleed a little more but at least i know baby is well. Such a relief xx
 
Hematomas are a pretty common cause of bleeds! Glad you got results and that babe is doing well!
 
Omg!!!! Wonderful!!!! Excellent news!!!! What a relief!!! Happy and healthy pregnancy to you! Thanks for the update!
