    Hi Lolpigs, I had a brown bleed at 7wks and around 11wks and a bright red bleed at 13wks with my DD and thought I was going to loose her each time. Before every bleed we had gone to Melbourne or some other place for the day where I had done a lot of walking around with very little rest, but no cause was ever found for the bleeds. At my 12wk scan the sonographer said that my placenta was low lying, but after every bleed I'd have a scan that showed no sign of a bleed at all.
    I was on semi-permanent couch rest for most of the pregnancy, first because of the bleeds, and then because I had an irritable uterus as well which caused cramping any time I left the house or did any kind of exercise - even walking out to the backyard caused cramping.
    My DD is now 4 weeks old, so there is hope!
    Best thing to do until you see your OB again would be to stick to bed or couch rest as much as possible, take breaks from whatever you are doing every 5-10 minutes and make sure you sit down and put your feet up.
    Good luck and sending lots of Sticky Vibes!

    Well looks like I might have done too much yesturday and it's caused it to come back again. More than last time, but still not enough to be more than wiped on my toilet paper.

    I was feeling good yesterday so went out shopping for Mothers day gifts and a few things and was out a few hours walking around I've tried calling my GP and OB but they are both closed as its a Sunday.

    Should I call the Maternity Ward at the hospital? Or should I see if it continues I don't know what to do. I don't have any cramps at all. It started a little last night before bed, and had more again this morning.
