Light bleed..what to do?

**minimatron** · June 7th, 2008, 08:37 AM

Hi,
I am 15 weeks pregnant and I just went to the toilet and have a light pinkish bleed. Theres not a great deal, but enough to worry me, since DH has just left for the weekend to go bush and am alone with dd.

Any suggestions? I dont have any cramping bar the pulling I have been having over the past few weeks.

TIA

Melissa

I agree, it is probably nothing but worth getting checked.

Take care

No harm in giving the hospital a quick call.

Hi,
I went to the gp to organise a scan, unfortunately I couldnt get one, so I had to go to ED. They checked me out and my urine is fine, they took my bloods and want me to go back at 9am tomorrow for a scan.
The blood has turned brown, which to me is a good sign. But I have lower back pain. Am a bit nervous, especially with dh away.
And I'll have to find a sitter for dd coz she wasnt all that bit interested in staying still for 4 hours thismorning, although she did great.

Will keep you posted,

Thanks
Melissa

Good luck hun - brown discharge generally means old blood and some people get a bit of discharge and back pain around the time AF would be due. Good luck with your scan tomorrow and rest up loads today.

I had bleeding at 16weeks with my 2nd dd and I was so scared as I didn't know at the time that you could bleed in pregnancy and not lose your baby. But now I know its quite common. Luckily everything was fine and I was reassured when the Ob showed me her breathing and moving on the ultrasound. Hope all is well with you and little darl!

Hi Melissa,

Thinking of you today and hoping everything was fine with your little bubba.

Melissa

It is very nerve wracking but I am sure it will be fine.
Thinking of you

Firstly I just wanted to thank everyone for your advice and well wishes.

I had my scan this morning and bubs is looking fine, yay. Heart beat was at 122bpm and it was moving around. I still have niggly pain and lower back pain, but the bleeding has stopped

Thanks again

Melissa
