Thanks Lou. I am sorry you have had to experience bleeding/spotting throughout your pregnancy, but I am so glad that everything is going well with your baby.

Bowel movements (not even straining) is a link in my bleeding that I have noticed, I have never personally heard of it being a cause for bleeding in pregnancy but it seems like a very likely cause for me.

I know what you mean about there being minimal information out there for bleeding in the second trimester, I think I know everything there is to know about bleeding in the first .
