Well, I've had an awful day today

I'm 10+6 and this morning I had a bright red bleed when I went to the toilet. It wasn't enough to soak a pad, just the tissue when I wiped and left a streak on a panty liner, but I'm terrified! Went to A&E and they did a test, took my blood pressure and felt my stomach and everything seemed fine with that (strong positive test still) but obviously blood isn't good Got a scan at 1pm tomorrow and I'm absolutely s***ting myself that it's going to be bad news. Bleeding seems to have stopped for now, only lasted bright red for about half an hour, and then it was just really watered down when I wiped after urinating. Hoping this is a good sign.

Keep your fingers crossed for me and my pumpkin please ladies xxx

Oh maz, so sorry to hear what has happened. I'll be thinking of you and pumpkin tomorrow. Hopefully your little bean is hanging on in there. My cousin's wife had a bleed which sounded similar to you, everything was fine on her scan and she's due tomorrow. Everything has been fine since. Fingers crossed hun

Xxx

Thanks BBH, I'm trying to stay positive as I know it could be many things and doesn't HAVE to be a mc. It's so hard though, I never thought this would happen to me....

Put a post up in 2nd Tri asking if anyone else had ever had red blood and everything turned out fine, and had 9 positive replies so far. This is reassuring at least, although I'm scared to get my hopes up too much to just hear bad news tomorrow.

Also ended up telling my sis in law (she works at the same place and was worried about what was wrong with me) and found out she also had a bleed at 14 weeks, and my nephew is here as proof that it was all ok in the end.

I'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow.

MnD I'm so sorry you are going through this. It really is the most terrifying thing ever I had 2 bleeds at 7 and 9 weeks with my son. 9 weeks was on our wedding anniversary and I went and got scanned at the EPU. I was so scared. But little kidney bean was there, and he is a strong 2 year old now.

I will be thinking of u hun

 

[Elz]

Hope everything goes ok for you tomorrow MnD! X

 

[Jembug]

Hope your scan goes well maz, i also had a bleed at six weeks and she was fine. Xx

 

[Soniamillie01]

Maz, will be thinking of you and sending positive vibes! X

 

[mazndave]

Thank you all for your support, hopefully I will be back on tomorrow with some good news!

xx

 

[miss malteser]

Good luck for today Maz. Let us all know how it goes.

I know of lots of people who have had bleeds during the first tri and had no problems with LO or during the rest of the pregnancy. I´m sure you´ll be fine x

 

[mazndave]

Just to let you all know that everything is fine!

Scan was really quick as they rushed me in before someone else as was bursting for loo! Baby measured as 10+5 but on the scan picture she printed out it said 11+3, so think it moving about must alter the length slightly! She showed me the heartbeat, which was fine, and at one point it was stretching it's legs out!

Couldn't see anything in there that could've caused the bleeding, said it's just one of those things that can happen. I'm not to worry if it happens again, just give them a ring and they'll book me in.

Roll on 28th March for 'proper' scan!

[miss malteser]

Brilliant news Maz x

Have you had your 20 wk scan yet Emz?

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

Hi Hun, yes we had it on Tuesday. Everything is fine and as it should be. I saw the 'potty' shot!!!! Looked like girl bits to me as no winkle like when I saw my sons potty shot. Of course I am no expert and completely happy either way. Our hospital don't tell gender and we are having a 4D scan but staying

I looked at my sons notes for 20 week scan. He was 2 days earlier at that point than this bean, but was quite a bit heavier, bigger head and overall bigger, so we shall see. When is yours Miss M? X

 

[Soniamillie01]

Ah great news Maz, bet you are releaved. Not too long till the next scan.

I had my smear today and spoke to nurse about ttc. She said stop trying! Had some slight bleeding with smear which she said isn't uncommon but worried me a little, she said that my inner cervical cells are protruding slightly outside the cervix so when take the cells they are more sensitive so bleed. Not heard of it before. Also took some other swabs for tests as had that bleed outside of period. Results in one week x

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

Glad you've had you're smear Sonia. I think they are very important. I've had polyps on my cervix which sounds a bit like what she is describing by 'protruding cells'.

When she said 'stop trying', did she mean go with the flow instead? X

 

[Soniamillie01]

I think so, she said she sees so many women who are actively trying and as soon as they stop, as in stop worrying about it, temping, opk'ing etc and just go with it they fall. She did say we were still early doors considering how long had been on the pill for.

Maybe that's what she meant then? She did say it was absolutely nothing to worry about and when they do smears now they have to take cells from just outside and just inside the cervix to compare the two to see if any change. She said those inside the cervix are much more sensitive and delicate to those just outside and it maybe that the brush she used just irritated them. She was certain it was nothin to worry about, the bleeding had almost stopped now. I had to take the swabs (not smear ones) to hospital as no collection till Monday and doctor said they wouldn't be viable then. Those are for testing for HPV and chlamydia, I tend to let them test me for everything whilst I am there as you can never be too sure! Should be back nxt week. She did say the slight protrusion could be the cause of my spotting last month especially if a lot of BD'ing, although it was a good day, day and a half later.

Oh exciting about your scan, I would love a little pink bundle but be equally happy with blue just means we'd have to have two

 

[miss malteser]

Glad it all went well Emz. You´ll have to look away at the crucial moment during the 4d scan to amke sure you stay team yellow until the end! I haven´t got mine until the 19th April which seems ages away! I´m still undecided about the 4d scan as deep down I think the money could be better spent on something else for the baby.

Sonia, hope all the results come back ok. About the "not trying" comment. One of my friends was trying for a while, nothing happened, she then decided that kids weren´t for her and was going to stop TTC when BINGO she got her BFP!

I´m a little bit worried as I still hardly have a bump! I mentioned on another thread of September mums about how there was still no need for maternity clothes as our bumps were still pretty small only for everyone to answer me saying that no, they all had pretty big bumps already (some have been in maternity clothes for weeks!) with pics to prove it. I´m still in my size 8-10 clothes with no problem at all!
