Bit of bleeding Just wondring if it sounds 'normal' or 'common'?
Hi there,
I am 8 weeks pregnant, and starting last Wednesday, started spotting old blood (quite dark brown in colour). I was away on my honeymoon at the time.
Anyway, I know that bleeding is quite common during pregnancy, and because it was the colour it was and I had no pain, I decided to wait things out and see how I went. On Saturday, when I was still spotting (same colour, no pain), I decided it was best to see someone, so DH and I went to the local hospital. I had a beta HCG test that came up in the right range, and was sent for an ultrasound on the Monday.
On the Monday, we got to see our little squishee one, and bub's heart was beating away. There was a slight discrepancy with dates (I have a long cycle), but all was ok.
I got back from my honeymoon on Tuesday night and was asked by the OBS who performed my scan on Monday, to see my GP and get a referral for a scan here at home. I saw my GP yesterday, who gave me the referral and the hospital here got me in yesterday afternoon.
There was bub's again, just fine floating around in there, with a nice strong heart rate of 180BPM. The sonographer also saw some blood in my uterus where the spotting I have been having has come from. At least there was a reason.
Anyway, I was nice and relaxed about it all until early this morning.
I woke up at about 3am and felt something a little wet (sorry TMI) and as soon as I got up out of bed, I had blood run down the inside of my legs. I obviously freaked.
It was bright red and there was a fair amount, but still no pain which calmed me down slightly.
I cleaned myself up, and thinking the worst, attempted to get some sleep.
Now this is what I find a little odd... I woke around 7am, and decided to check on everything. I had placed a pad in during the night and expected it to be full. There was nothing but a very small amount of dark brown blood on it, and the same when I wiped. No red in sight and still no pain.
Should I expect more bright red bleeding?? Does it just sound like the blood I lost was what we saw in my scan yesterday? I can't help but be a little apprehensive and nervous, but I keep trying to think good things, because I have no pain and no more bright red bleeding.
Has this happened to anyone else?
