    Unhappy More bleeding...

    Last night while i was at work i had some more bleeding, Like a blob of blood came out... then every time i wiped for the rest of the night it was tinged with red... Dp rang up the hosp and the midwife in the birthing suit said that there should be no bleeding after 8weeks and any bleeding is a concern if it gets to much come and see her, otherwise rest up and see my doctor this morning...

    When i woke this morning there has been no more blood... just horrible like cramping pains...

    And my doctor isn't in until Monday - the whole surgery is closed for the 4days (christmas, 26, 27,28)

    I'm freaking out here... it could just be nothing right???

    It could def be nothing... I had 3 weeks of bleeding this pregnancy until around 11 weeks. I had a subchronic haematoma, so that was the caus of my bleeding.
    The cramping doesn't sound great, but then again, it could be stretching pains or anything. I get random pains on an off throughout my pregnancy.
    If I were you, and really worried, I would head to Emergency. You may not get seen for a while, but at least they might be able to do a few tests, or maybe even a scan.
    All the best. I hope that it's nothing at all.

    Hmmm, my GP and OB have told me the opposite, bleeding is pretty common! First time I had bleeding pretty much the entire time esp when AF was due or if I did lots of lifting and bending. this time round I haven't had a lot just if I do a bit too much housework or empty a shopping trolley.

    If the bleeding has stopped for now don't stress too much, the cramping is probably everything stretching.

    But I agree with Niadla if you are worried go the the hospital.

    Def go to the hospital, if for no other reason then to ease your worry.
    Hugs! I hope it's nothing.

    I think you should go to the hospital to be checked everything is okay, my OB has always said any bleeding to report it immediately.

    Bleeding can be very common in pregnancy and especially in the first trimester, I`m just over 14 weeks now and I`ve had a number of bleeding episodes from 4.5 weeks, my last lot of bleeding was at 11 weeks where I totally soaked 3 pads within a few hours, it just gushed out of me (sorry for TMI) but baby is fine and it`s unexplained like all my other bleeding episodes. Up to 11 weeks, I was bleeding every 7 to 12 days up to that stage but each time I rang my OB for advice.

    to you Cass, honey I would go to the hospital to put your mind at rest. However, having said that they can be a little heartless before the 12 wk mark. There are many different reasons for bleeding. You said a blob which seems to me could've been a little clot?? That may have been it.

    Your GP at least you could ask for a scan to be done (which I doubt the hospital would do at 8 wks). If you're able to I'd probably try not to work until you can see either your GP or you're happy with the hospital's answer. Get Tim to do as much as he can for you and try to lay down and rest.

    I hope all is ok. Let us know how you go.
