Bleeding During Pregnancy - Women's Stories Of Bleeding In Pregnancy #3

[elaine.lot]

Hey Ladies,
I need some advice here,

Af is regular, 17th everymonth and this month on the 7th I had some brown bloodbout the size of a ten cent peice, just once. Possible implantation? So i went to the doctors (yesterday) to inquire what it was because it is the first time it has every happened and with all other symptoms like very sore bbs Doc seemed pretty convinced I've conceived so He booked me in for a BT a week from now. But today (two days before AF is due), Straight after we DTD it hurt a little and straight after I had similiar AF cramps and about two hours later there was blood, its not heavy, its just red and watery. doesnt look like normal AF blood but certainly FEELS like it. cramps and bloating.
Could it be AF playing tricks and bleeding on the 7th was just spotaneous? or could it be breakthrough bleeding? damage to cervix during sex??


Thanks, Im really worried about this one.

Just woke up and bleeding wasn't much overnight, and has stopped now.
Still confused to what this is?!

AF has never done this before so fingers crossed

cn you go to your local hospital hun? Is it spotting or actual bleeding? I think going to your gp or calling your hospital is the best thing to do. Hugs hun.

Hi All,

I just found this thread when searching for bleeding during pregnancy. I am 9 wks pregnant. This is my 3rd pregnancy. My 2nd one I had MC when I was 18 weeks. I have a 3 year old.

I have been having little bit of bleeding (streaking and when wiping)from the day I found I was pregnant (4 weeks). when I was 6 weeks saw more blood than normal. After my MC I was advised to take low dosage asprin to prevent clots and increase blood flow. And also I am taking the Progestrone pesaries.

My spotting stopped totally for 4 or 5 days end of last week. Suddenly on Monday morning I started to bleed. It was like period bleeding. I did not have any pain or cramping. I was scared, cause the blood was dripping when I went to toilet I kept a pad and it was totally damp in blood. I soon went to see my OB he did an ultrasound and showed us the baby. There was good heart beat and the baby even moved a little. He said he couldn't see the cause of the bleeding and there is no clots visible in the scan.

I still have the bleeding but its not like dripping, the blood is dark red and I see it when I wipe it .

Did any of you experience something like this. I have been reading about this and trying to be positive. I have read that 50% of women who had bleeding do have a healthy baby. Keeping my fingers crossed hoping I am in that 50%.

Mum - how did you go? I hope that the bleeding stopped.

Raffy - did you get your scan?

Seph - hey hun. Wish we didn't have to see each other in here too!

I am in a similar position, I have had bleeding on and off through this pregnancy and it is unexplained. They can't see anything on scans and my Ob keeps explaining to me that if they saw blood on the scan then we would expect me to bleed until that blood comes out but since they see nothing - I shouldn't bleed anymore. BUT THEN I DO! It is the most upsetting and frustrating thing. I am supposed to be 14W1D as per my Ob dates today and have woken up to a WARNING TMI - toilet bowl full of red blood. Since it's not the first time, I am not feeling that shocked, just scared and sad. I am calling the Ob at 8:30 to try and get an appt but I feel stupid because I was just there on Friday and everything was fine. We told my family on Saturday night and my sister was quite upset which in turn made me upset and then yesterday I did have a fairly busyish day but I can't understand why I would have bleeding. I know that bleeding in pregnancy can occur and lots of women go on to have a healthy and happy baby but I am struggling with the day to day checking and waiting and hoping.

I have my first appointment with my ob tomorrow. I'd always thought that you weren't supposed to bleed during pregnancy but it seems that people on this thread, and my own body, are contradicting this line of thought. I'm glad I found this thread as it eases my mind somewhat.

It's been 31 days since conception and there's been intermittent but persistent spotting, mainly the brownish streaking stuff. You try not to think bad thoughts but you just can't stop them from creeping in.

I've also been having a lot of pain in my lower region. I know I have an adhesion from my appendectomy which is tearing and retearing and it hurts like anything. I've had other ops through my stomach also and I'm wondering if the internal scar tissue could be contributing to not only the pain as my uterus expands but also to some of the spotting?

My lovely husband also managed to give me what was for him a simple cold. Unfortunately it's had me bedridden for a week. The coughing and blowing my nose seems to have increased the spotting. Any sort of strain seems to do that.

Has anyone else had experiences like this? This is my first pregnancy and I know I'm being overly paranoid but I can't help it!
