19 weeks and bleeding this morning - please help

Hi guys,

Just need some reassurance.

Felt baby moving last night as usual, slept fine all night.

Went to the toilet this morning and when i wiped there was a large amount of old blood.
I am terrified, i have had a mc before but not this late. Can it be something else?
I dont have any back pain that i had during my last mc, but that didnt come until a bit later.

I am so scared.

I have just spoken to my OB and i am going into see him this am to have a scan...

Anything positive would really help me right now

Oh honey, Im sure things are ok, old blood is just that, old blood ...... Don't stress just go get a check up so you can feel at ease :hug:

Sending you big hugs. It's good if it's old blood. IYKWIM? And baby moving is great

Best wishes for today

Big hugs sweetie :hug: How scary for you. Old blood is definitely good. Did you happen to dtd last night at all? That could have caused the bleed.

Hoping and praying that everything is ok for you xo

First of all big :hug: hun, its so scary when there's blood and there shouldn't be :(

I had a bleed at 18 weeks which freaked me out too. i went straight to my OB who did a scan and bubs was fine. i knew at my 12 weeks scan that they'd found a large cyst on my left ovary and when my OB checked that, it was no longer there so he said it was most likely the cyst had burst, causing the bleed as my cervix was closed nice and tight and there were was no evidence of a bleed or rupture on the placenta. As a precautionary measure he also sent me for a more detailed scan at my regular ultrasound place and they agreed with his initial diagnoses that it was in fact the cyst that had burst. Since then i have had no further bleeds and bubs is doing well.

Goodluck at your appt :hug:

Have you had your morphology scan yet? Just wondering if so do you know where the placenta is? If its covering the cervix then its very common to have bleeds here and there as the uterus gets bigger. Also have you DTD in the last 24hrs as there is a possibility the cervix which is very vascular has become irritated and bled some.

No haven't had my scan yet, not going for another 2 weeks as they are fully booked due to cup weekend and a short week next week.

I am trying not to stress, but the wait is killing me, i need to come in at 11 - aaaahhhhhhj dont they know that i want to be seen NOW

Not long to wait now. Has the bleeding settled?

:hug:GL hun i hope everything is ok i agree with everyone else if u dtd last night it is often the reason but like they said old blood is good blood...
i hope ur baby is in there comfy n happy as can be :) that way u will feel better :)

Hope all is well SJ

Fingers crossed your scan goes well!!

Thinking of you SJ. I'm sure everything is fine :hug:

You've probably been seen by your OB by now, but I just wanted to let you know that I had my 12 week scan yesterday and they saw a small contained bleed behind my pregnancy. It was little a little fluid filled space. They said it wont cause any problems but could come out at any time. You could have had something similar and with bubs moving around so much, he/she could have released the blood? Apparently its quite common and no dangerous at all.
I hope all is well.

Hi hun,

How did you go? What did your ob say?
Hope all is well!!

Hey SJ

Just sending you some :hug: and some luv on here! Hope that all goes well with the OB! I agree with what everyone else has said, DTD can cause bleeding or it might be something else, not necessarily bubs.

Hope all is going good! xoxox

:hug: Thinking of you and hoping everything is ok.

I've been thinking of you hun,m I hope everything is okay :hug:
I had a lt of bleeding with my last pregnancy into the 20's and also for my previous pregnancy, and it is very scary whether it be red or brown :(
Take care we are here for you xxoo

Thanks so much for your kind words everyone...

baby started to kick when i was waiting for the scan, felt a bit relieved, but still didnt want to believe everything was OK until i saw a heart beat... Cried when i did, it was such a relief. OB did an internal and could find NO evidence of a bleed, cervix is closed and he told me that baby was staying put. Nice thing was that i got to see bubs again, but could do without the worry beforehand!


To answer the DTD question, no we hadnt, it was completely out of the blue
A timely warning i think, i am going to start saying No to people and lighten my load, i take on way too much stuff and i think that it is time to think about me for a while!

It was very scary and not something that i want to go through again...

So pleased all is well and so nice to get that kick before going in!

Congratulations

That's good news!
Take care of yourself

Oh wonderful news :hug:

Definitely lighten your load, it is a good time to start winding back on a few things and rest up a bit more :)
Take care xxoo

oh thats great news!

That's great news! So glad all is well :)

Glad to hear all is ok with you and bubs. What a scare! I think taking things easy sounds like a fabulous idea. It's incredible how taxing pregnancy can be on our bodies. Relax and enjoy your pregnancy :)

SJ, I have just been reading through your thread, I am so glad you had a happy outcome. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy. And yes taking it easy is definately a great idea :D All the best.

Great news hun! :hug:

great great news :)

glad everything is ok with bubba!!!!

oh SJ! What a scare! I am so glad it is all ok! Congratulations on your PG - I didn't realise you were!!! I am so so glad everything worked out yesterday - you must have been petrified! :hug:

MG

So glad to hear all is well. And what a cheeky monkey waiting until just before your appt to give you some reassuring kicks :)

Hope the remainder of your pregnancy happy and healthy x

Glad to hear Bub is fine. Whenever I have been worried about my bub not moving for what feels like a long period of time in the past I have eaten an iceblock or something sugary and they usually respond to that, I mean it's not fullproof but it usually works and might ease your mind quicker :)

Good to hear everything is alright!! Bleeds are soo scary!
I had one at 11 weeks right after my US and I was hysterical!!! It was just left over or something but I completely understand!

And yes lightening your load would be a good idea anyways! Take it easy cause you are growing a little person inside you and need the extra rest!! It took me a long time to realise that being pg does change what I can and can't do. I can't do all the same stuff I used to an be ok... so relax, take it easy and enjoy your little miracle growing inside you!!!

only just saw this SJ.
:hug: glad all is ok. look after yourself x
