Bleeding Again...

Hi,

I am having some bleeding again. I had a bleed at 6 weeks which was determined to be from a chorionic heamorrage next to Bean but that all cleared up a few weeks later.

I noticed just the other day that I was starting to get what felt to me light tightenings. It felt like when I had an irritable uterus with Colby.

I spoke to my Midwife as I wasnt sure if it was possible this early in but she said it could be and to just keep an eye on it.

I've been still cramping over the last few days and lastnight I went to the loo and saw a spot of blood. I wiped again and nothing so I wasnt sure where it came from.

I've just returned home from a walk and went to the loo and wiped and there was a LOT of mucousy red and browny blood. I've spoken with my Midwife and she's advised that I just chill and I can go get an u/s done if I want to.

I'm really not sure what to do. I am still cramping. I might just watch the blood loss and if it continues or gets worse I will go to the Hospital.

So I am not sure what to do....

I had bleeding a few times when i was pregnant, and it was horrible each time. Hope that it clears up soon, and everything is ok.

take care,

Kate

I had similar bleeding and mild cramping/tenderness too around 6 to 8 weeks. It turned out to be placenta growing and hitting a blood vessel.
But boy, did i WORRY. its NOT fun.
Do SOMETHING- ANYTHING to take your mind away from it. rent some videos if you can and distract yourself.
I also had an ultrasound to calm myself down- which worked.

might be a good idea to rest and see how u go but deffiantely have the scan done at some point it will ease ur mind and possible find the problem
I had early bleeding with my DD and it eased my mind when I saw the heartbeat

I had bleeding at 17 weeks (similar to what you mentioned - a mixture of bright red blood and brownish mucousy discharge) and all turned out to be fine. To ease your mind, I think it's a good idea to get a scan. It could just be bleeding from the blood vessels in your cervix, or another subchorionic bleed, or a low lying placenta?

I have nothing...but :hug: babe, I'm thinking of you.

I'd look into getting a scan just for reassurance. Take it easy - I hope all is well :hug:

I don't have any advice except just try to relax and rest!! Stressing won't help... Just lay on the couch and watch a movie or read a book. Bleeding is scary regardless of whether it is harmful or harmless!!! Keep your chin up and get an US when you can!

Lots of love and hugs!!!

Hi Sara.

Cramping and bleeding are not always a bad sign. Exercise can cause the type of bleeding that you describe. Cramping can be caused by your growing uterus. However a scan may well help to ease your mind. Whatever you decide to do I suggest that you take things very easy for the next few days, lay on the lounge and watch TV.

Thanks for your comments.

I've just returned from hospital where it was confirmed that my baby passed at 8 weeks.

I chose to come home and await events.

My heart is broken....

Thanks again for your advice, support and comments...

So sorry for your loss Sara :hug:

Sara, So sorry your baby couldn't stay.

Kate

Thinking of you beautiful Sara. I'm so sorry for your beautiful little Bean. There are no words that can make it better but I will give you a huge silent hug when I finally meet you. Sometimes I think a hug is worth a thousand words.

Oh Sara I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could say to help with the pain you are feeling. Are you at home with B and the girls?

So sorry to hear of your loss Sara :hug:

OMG Sara I am soo sorry for your loss!
I don't even know what to say except sending lots of love and hugs to you!

Oh Sara I am so sorry for ur loss :hug:

Hugs to you hun

So sorry Sara :hug:

I am so very sorry Sara to hear that your baby has flown away. I hope you have strong and supportive arms to hold you as you grieve your baby. Sending you my loving support. :comfort:

Fly freely Little Bean :angel:

My sweet girl :hug: I am so sorry.

Thank you all so much for you kind words and support. I really do appreciate it.

At this stage I am just waiting for things to happen. I've chosen to try for a Medical Management but it doesn't look like its going to happen in a rush.

My body, and probably me emotionally doesnt seem to want to let go just yet. I have started to pass a few clots but only when I visit the toilet and wipe.

I'm still in quite a bit of shock. I can't understand how my body can hold a baby who died 5 weeks ago. Seems such a long time to be going on without even knowing what had truely happened. I think thats what hurts the most. At the same time I feel silly for mourning a baby that was so small. I also feel so silly for making all these plans and telling everyone. So much of me was invested in this only to have it taken away silently.

Sara its not silly to mourn a baby so small. We told people as soon as we found out at 4 weeks. Your heart can't help but plan and dream when you realise you have a little bean in there. I think still being in shock sounds totally rational also, its such a big thing to process, that I'm sure there is part of you trying to hide away from it all. I hope things start happening soon for you so that you can start to process what is happening physically and emotionally. Thinking of you alot. You really are a special person from what I have learnt so far and I pray there are a thousand little angels holding you tight through this really unfathomable journey.

Sara

Your baby may well have been small but it was still your baby. Do not feel silly, you have every right to mourn this loss.

big big :hug:

fly free little bubba :angel:

How are you going sweetheart? I want you to hear darling that missed miscarriage is not uncommon - what is common with this sad loss is that it is very confusing as a Mother that we didn't know instinctively that our baby was gone, or there was no sign. Maybe in time you will reflect and think aah maybe that's why that happened etc etc.

For now though just try to let go. This baby has flown away & now it's time for your body to give him/her up. It's hard & it's one of the most painful things you will ever do. But you will do this and you can. If I can help in any way please reach out. Know my thoughts and prayers are with you, your baby and your partner as you say goodbye. :comfort:

so sorry hun :comfort:

So sorry to hear of your Bean's passing Sara :hug: Take the time to grieve, it is something I cannot fathom either.

Thank you all for kind words of support and encouagement. I really do appreciate it.

I have just returned home from hospital. I ended up going to The Mater who were great, and had a Medical Management. The experience was made a whole lot easier through the support of what I wanted.

It took some time but it seems I may have passed my baby in the early hours of this morning.

Now I just need to work on getting over the fact that I am no longer pregnant.

Thanks again for all your support....much love to you all!

dont want to scare you hunni but i woke up bleeding two months ago with first preg went straiight to GP an he sent me hospital an i ended up losing it around 5 weeks an wished i had went earlier as they found out i was o neg blood type an my body thought it was an infection an i lost bubba when all i needed was to get there ealier an get an anti D shot :( so id suggest go straight to hospital an have it checked even tho it may be nothing to worry about but with all that said the best thing to do is not stress hard i know :( good luck with it all keep us posted xx

Hi all!

Just thought I would update...

I've just got hom from hospital again. I went in on Monday to have bloods done and have a repeat u/s. U/s showed that baby and sac were still there so I was booked in for a d&c yesterday afternoon. It all went well apparently.

So now I feel like I can let go. I feel like my baby has finally flown away. I didn't feel like this when I came home last time.

I've still be thinking about whether to try again but I think I leaning towards waiting now. I am looking into getting the Mirena put back in but I really don't want too tbh. But I know if I don't have anything in place I will be too tempted to try again. So right now I am just trying to work out what I really want to do.

I'd like to thank you all for all the love and suppor that you guys have given me over the last week. Without your support and "shoulder" I think I might have gone crazy!

Thank you!

So where to now.....

I kind of know what you mean, now you can focus on the future.
Take your time and go easy on yourself and in time you'll know whats right and what you want. You dont have to decide now. Maybe go and treat yourself with something special?
Best wishes to you and your family,xx
