Hi all,Im going to be 17 weeks tomorrow and last night after doing number 2 in toilet i discovered very light red blood on the tissue and brownish discharge after that ,i freaked out and so worried,as i went to toilet this morning ,still a little light brown discharge..im not sure what caused the spotting but i have still been feeling my bub kicks and movements last night and alot this morning, that relieves me abit...but just wondering if anyone else experience samething and end up fine after all????
and also i never have missed taking Elevit before but cus of what happened i kept thinking about and forgot to take Elevit last night, i dont know if i should take one in the morning to make it up from last night and one before bed or not ??!!!
Im sure everything is ok! If you can still feel baby kicking thats a good sign. If you are concerned about it maybe give obgyn if you have one a call or go to local doctor just for peace of mind.
Im taking Elevit as well, you are ony supposed to take one tablet a day so just wait until you would take the one for today, don't take any extra
Baby is kicking so I'm sure everything is fine, some spotting/bleeding in pregnancy is actually pretty common. But I would call your Dr/Midwife just to let them know anyway and they will probably put your mind at ease.
I had some spotting a few weeks ago, I think I was 18 weeks at the time.
Of course I freaked out, but after a couple of days with no more spotting I gradually relaxed and everything is still going fine.
I think these things just happen sometimes.
One thing that can happen is that if you've been DTD, that can break blood vessels on the outside of your cervix and cause a bit of spotting, and that's normal. So that could be the reason and nothing to worry about.
I had spotting at pretty much the exact same stage of pregnancy as you. 16 weeks and 5 days... I freaked out as we'd gone through so much to get pregnant and stay pregnant and I wasn't feeling a lot of movement at that point in time.
I went in to see my OB (luckily I'd taken the day off work before this happened - I was simply exhausted) and she did a scan and checked my cervix and all was well. We never discovered a cause for the bleed and I didn't have another episode and Samuel will be 4 weeks old on Friday.
Please call your OB and get checked out if you are worried. They'd rather you come in for nothing than stay at home and stress and find out later that something was wrong.
Opening your bowels can often trigger a little bleed. Don't take an extra dose of vitamins, missing one day won't make much difference. (Other than folate there isn't much evidence that vitamins do much anyway.)
spotting at 16 weeks and 5 days.....anyone else??
