    yeah it did. i had been spotting from 30 weeks and when i was 34+1 weeks i had a small ante partum hemorrhage. they admitted me to hospital for monitoring hoping to get me to 38 weeks. the next day i had a scan which showed the vasa previa. the next day i had another APH so they decided not to take anymore risks and i had a c section that night. try not to worry. i know its easier said then done but its no good to stress. you can read my birth story for more info if u like

    Teresa - it must have been so nice to have your bub in your hands after the trauma I havnt read your birth story yet - but going to soon

    Gosh - I started spotting. Just really lightly. Hopefully I can get in to see my ob when she opens - about 4 hours time ... ahhh the waiting. The baby was fine on Friday and my cervix was closed. So hopefully its just something minor!

    So my ob wasnt opened on the day I was spotting and on the same day my DH organised a surprise getaway. We almost cancelled (because we were worried about the spotting) ... The spotting went away and we decided later that day to go anyway. The next day I had a little more spotting and now its gone completely. Never had spotting before in pregnancy except when I had a mc. Thankfully its gone now and will see the ob next week

    thats good news. if it happens again is there anyway u can contact your ob out of hours or maybe call the hospital you are booked into?

    Spotting came back again and went back straight to the ob (glad she was open) ... baby is doing well and my cervix is completely closed - but the placenta is really low down and she said I should expect light spotting over the next 2 months. She said it should correct itself and move up towards the end of the pregnancy. In the mean time Im not allowed to lift anything heavy and not to do any strenuous activities . I also found out one of 3 umbilical cords is separated from the other 2 - I think this doesnt pose any risk though??
