19 weeks and bleeding this morning - please help

[Sammiejane]

Hi guys,

Just need some reassurance.

Felt baby moving last night as usual, slept fine all night.

Went to the toilet this morning and when i wiped there was a large amount of old blood.
I am terrified, i have had a mc before but not this late. Can it be something else?
I dont have any back pain that i had during my last mc, but that didnt come until a bit later.

I am so scared.

I have just spoken to my OB and i am going into see him this am to have a scan...

Anything positive would really help me right now

[Mum2Romone]

Oh honey, Im sure things are ok, old blood is just that, old blood ...... Don't stress just go get a check up so you can feel at ease

[Loula]

Sending you big hugs. It's good if it's old blood. IYKWIM? And baby moving is great

Best wishes for today

[Manhattan]

Big hugs sweetie How scary for you. Old blood is definitely good. Did you happen to dtd last night at all? That could have caused the bleed.

Hoping and praying that everything is ok for you xo

First of all big hun, its so scary when there's blood and there shouldn't be

I had a bleed at 18 weeks which freaked me out too. i went straight to my OB who did a scan and bubs was fine. i knew at my 12 weeks scan that they'd found a large cyst on my left ovary and when my OB checked that, it was no longer there so he said it was most likely the cyst had burst, causing the bleed as my cervix was closed nice and tight and there were was no evidence of a bleed or rupture on the placenta. As a precautionary measure he also sent me for a more detailed scan at my regular ultrasound place and they agreed with his initial diagnoses that it was in fact the cyst that had burst. Since then i have had no further bleeds and bubs is doing well.

Goodluck at your appt

Have you had your morphology scan yet? Just wondering if so do you know where the placenta is? If its covering the cervix then its very common to have bleeds here and there as the uterus gets bigger. Also have you DTD in the last 24hrs as there is a possibility the cervix which is very vascular has become irritated and bled some.

[Sammiejane]

No haven't had my scan yet, not going for another 2 weeks as they are fully booked due to cup weekend and a short week next week.

I am trying not to stress, but the wait is killing me, i need to come in at 11 - aaaahhhhhhj dont they know that i want to be seen NOW

[Mildez]

Not long to wait now. Has the bleeding settled?

[~Gee_Whizzy~]

[Twin Sister]

Fingers crossed your scan goes well!!

[Persephone1]

Thinking of you SJ. I'm sure everything is fine

[MummaBear79]

You've probably been seen by your OB by now, but I just wanted to let you know that I had my 12 week scan yesterday and they saw a small contained bleed behind my pregnancy. It was little a little fluid filled space. They said it wont cause any problems but could come out at any time. You could have had something similar and with bubs moving around so much, he/she could have released the blood? Apparently its quite common and no dangerous at all.
I hope all is well.
