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
