Trip to the ER tonight

[koomy56]

Hi girls..I guess I am just wanting to share my story and get some extra support. At about 6 pm tonight I went to the bathroom and bled a fair amount into the toilet. It was dark dark red, almost maroon, but mostly terrifying. I had spotted brown around 7 weeks but the amount that I spotted then was so much less that I wasn't too concerned. I will be 10 weeks on Thurs and my first appointment is scheduled for that day as well. Of course we panicked, and phoned the hospital and they advised me to come in.
Unfortunately they couldn't do an ultrasound b/c it wasn't available after 5. But they drew blood, and did a pelvic exam and the doc said I felt about 10 weeks but that my uterus was titled pretty far back and that is probably why they couldn't find the heartbeat as it was farther away and harder to find. She also said their equipment was outdated (small town hospital?) but it's not uncommon to not find the heartbeat at 10 weeks. God I hope she's right.
My uterus is definitely closed, which is a great sign. I have no cramping, which is also great. She didnt seem to think it was an impending miscarriage but the ultrasound will give us the most information..
I am calling my main doc tomorrow to see if she thinks she needs to see me sooner, or if I can just wait until Thurs morning. UGH. This stuff is so scary!
Anyways..keep me in your thoughts, send some good vibes, and I'll post an update.

I had a moderately big bleed at around 5w2d and then spotted for two weeks. Then nothing for a week, then I've now been spotting for about 4-5 days again. I check the heartbeat with my doppler for reassurance, and everything is ok. I get cramps too - since blood in the uterus is an irritant and it hurts.

I have/had a subchorionic hemorrhage (SCH), and that is the most common reason for bleeding/spotting in pregnancy. They normally don't pose a problem, just a whole lot of worry and are annoying. Ask about a SCH and see if that is the cause of your bleeding. Lots of hugs!!!! Fx

Thank you ladies. My doc said to take it easy and to come in tomorrow as scheduled.
Still bleeding a little bit this morning, but I am in better spirits. I had no idea being pregnant would be so worrisome!

I had this between 12-16w last time, sometimes the flow was a big flood all at once and I spotted for weeks inbetween. Mine was due to a subchorionic hematoma which resolved at 20w. I went on to have a normal natural delivery at 38w

I had a significant bleed at 10 weeks and 16 weeks. Mine was caused by a cervical erosion that wasn't discovered until the second bleed. It had no impact on my pregnancy and I now have a very healthy 18 month old. Good luck, I know how scary it can be.
