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

[Ilithyia]

Hi All,

Glad I found this thread cause it looks like this pregnancy is going to be a bloody one.

I been having bleeding and spotting on and off since conception. The most recent is occuring now. I am just over 13 weeks.

I've never experienced a "viable" pregnancy with bleeding so this is a new experience for me.

I had a scan yesterday which showed a healthy baby but also showed a small area of bleeding in the lower part of my uterus. This is where the bleeding has been coming from the whole time.

I guess I'm looking for stories where bleeding has been a continual occurance throughout the pregnancy and led onto a healthy bub.


Cheers!

Hi Sara

My first pregnancy i had 5 or 6 times of bleeding, begining at 6 weeks or so, and i think the last was at 24 weeks. My DD was born healthy at 41 weeks. I had some bleeding earlier on in this pregnancy, but not as much as last time and i am now in the 3rd trimester. Bleeding can be worrisome, but things can still work out ok.

take care

Hi Sara,

Sorry to hear you are going through a particularly anxious stage of being PG and bleeding. My story is a good one. I fell preggers with twins and started bleeding a only 5 weeks - about 2 days after finding out we were pregnant. I developed a blood clot which was quite close to the twins and nearly lost the babies. Went on bed rest from 5 weeks to 13 weeks. I think the bleeding stopped at about 8 weeks?

No-one understands until they have had bleeding while PG and unfortunately no-one knows if the embryos are going to stick.

That said, I think your ticker shows you are at week 13. That is really positive. Take care of you. Rest up. Put your feet up. Drink plenty of liquids. Get plenty of rest.

Good luck, hope you have your baby in your arms soon xo

Hi Sara, I'm 27 weeks & 6 days pregnant, I've had heavy bleeding on & off since 11 weeks it's very scary at times.
I was diagnosed with vasa previa & on Monday I'm moving in the hospital until bubs is born which will be at 34 weeks now if I can last that long. Fingers crossed!
I hope things settle for you x take care

Best wishes Bex! hope you got lots of reading and things to do. Maybe learn to knit or something to keep you from going crazy.

Hi girls,

Thanks for the reassuring words.

Still continuing to have bleeding and spotting here.

Had a real scare recently. Woke up in the middle of the night to leaking. Got up and checked my undies but was only white discharge. While i was wee'ing i felt myself pass a huge clot. Looked into the loo and the water was red from blood. I couldn't see the bottom of the toilet but wanted to see what I had lost so got on a glove and scooped out a large blood clot. I freaked as it looked just like a sac!! I was terrified to open it as I thought baby was in there but did and it was only a blood clot.

Got up the next morning and went to ED where they used the doppler and found babies HB straight away!! Such a relief. They couldn't tell me where the clot was from but sent me for a u/s.

U/S showed a very small peri-sac bleed which at another scan at the EPAU at The Mater on Tuesday, showed that the bleed has all cleared up. But again, no reason for the large clot.

So at the moment, I'm trying not to be to anxious but am terrified at at any moment the baby is going to slip out.

Fingers crossed this all settles down soon.

Thanks again for your kind, reassuring words
