I had a scare today, I thought I had lost Button. *MAJOR TMI WARNING*
Early hours of the morning I woke up and knew I was bleeding. I tried to ignore it for a bit, then got up and put a pad on. It was 4.25am. I was still bleeding, but I kept fairly calm and thought to myself ‘It’s ok, this has happened before, it’s just the placenta.
I went back to sleep for a little while then when I woke got up to go to the toilet and little clotty bits of blood were on the toilet paper. I started to get a little bit worried, but tried not to. I went back to bed then again got up (maybe about half an hour later) and there was still heaps of blood in the toilet. As I was wiping there were still little clots on the paper. Then I felt a clot slide out. As the toilet was full of paper, I got it out to inspect it. I had no clue what it was but it was a clot, completely intact and about the size of a 50c piece. Then I freaked. The clot was huge (to me) I was figuring the placenta must have come away from the wall or something. I started crying hysterically because I thought Button was gone for sure.
I rang the hospital, but I wasn’t guaranteed to get a scan, so I did what I did last time and went to the medical centre and got a referral for a scan and went straight in. I was lucky, I only waited about half and hour and I was called in. I started to cry again, I thought this would confirm it. The chick placed the thing on my belly (what’s it called?) and there was bub, kicking away!!!!!!!! My baby is ok. Everything was perfect. HB of 154 and measuring ahead of dates!! She couldn’t see where the bleed had come from, but everything looked good. ABSOLUTE RELIEF!!! I was so scared, once I passed the clot I thought that was it. I am so relieved and I don’t want anymore scares like that! I am only bleeding old blood now, I haven't had much since the clot passed thank goodness.. 12wks today, only another 28wks to go!! I hope my heart can handle the pressure Lol! I can't wait til this baby is safe in my arms!
I had a bleed at 10wks too, it was apparently caused from my low lying placenta. There was a fair bit of blood, but no clots like this time. I was soooo scared! (I was last time too)
I thought you'd had an earlier bleed I passed a big clot (about 50c piece if not bigger) and it freaked me out, especially given the blood was bright red.
Oh gosh, how scary for you hun!!! I had a bleed in my first pg at exactly 11 weeks and I was just beside myself with worry. It was a big gush of bright red blood and it was the first time it happened. Had the scan within an hour and it showed that bub was good. They couldn't tell me exactly where the bleeding came from though....
Big hugs hun and to your bleeding, stop it already!!!!! Stop stressing and scarring mum!!! Rest up hun
Oh hun!!! Scary as! I had a bleed with Oskar and it just frightens you so much... I understand so much why you were so scared too even more than I was I'm sure. Text me if you need to if you're scared ok!!!
Hugs xx, I had a lot of bleeding with dd1 - everytime I bent or lifted something heavy and whenever af was due. It was terrifying but she is about to turn 4. I also had bleeding with dd2 but not as bad.
Oh BLB! How scary! I hope you are feeling better now that you have seen bubba. I doubt it is any consolation, but some women just bleed like that the whole way thru their pregnancies. It is a state of normal for some mums. It explains why some women never know they r pregnant cos they never stopped getting their periods.
Mind you the ones who do no doubt spend a fair bit of time really worried as I know you are and I can only think I would be doing the same. big hugs babe. I hope that is the last one for this pregnancy. Take care of yourself. Xx bella.
