Worried - what should I do?

Yesterday morning I was being silly (meaning: trying to annoy DF) and I ran and jumped/flopped onto the bed belly first (:redface: stupid I know - I just didn't think!). I felt pressure on my uterus as soon as I landed and it caused pain almost straight away - which I put down to ligament pain. The pain kind of hang around all day and I've felt it a few times today aswell.

Being a Sunday I decided not to do anything about it because my GP was shut and I have my first MW appt at the hospital on Wednesday morning - so I thought as long as the pain didn't get any worse I'd just mention it to them then.

I've just been to the toilet now and when I wiped there was dark brown discharge. Not heaps of it but it's definitely there - I have had 2 other bleeds in this pregnancy and all has been ok - I'm just not sure whether it's time to freak out about this or not.

I am not sure who to go and see if I should get it checked out.
1. My maternity hospital where my appt is Wednesday (im not sure if im actually registered there before my first appt?)
2. my gp tomorrow (good chance I won't get in)
3. my local ER (where they were absolutely useless at reassuring me previously with my bleeds).

Otherwise I can wait until Wednesday and just keep an eye on things?

I'd love some advice!!

If you want to get it checked out, go to your maternity hospital, even if you haven't seen them yet. They will see you. Do they have an ED?

As to whether you should get it checked - if you are concerned, I'd go get it looked at. Ease your mind if nothing else.

:hug: How stressful.

I'm sure everything is fine! You probably just strained yourself. The blood could be from your cervix, maybe there was a little pressure made when you landed.. :dunno: if the blood increases and you feel more pain definitely get checked out.

Thanks ladies! I know that it's meant to be pretty safe in there - I would have been happy to leave it but the blood has scared me :(

I would head to the hospital.. but thats just me!!! I would rather be sent home and told nothing was wrong than to sit a minute too long and have something be really wrong :hug:

When I was about 20 weeks, DH, DD1 and & were playing on our bed. DH went to tickle DD1 and she fell backwards right onto my belly. The pain was really bad for a while but I never got any discharge. The pain hung around for a day or two so I went and got checked, like starbright said I could not stop thinking about it and thought better to just get checked and know. Everything was fine thankfully. By you posting means your worried and that to me is your answer, go get checked. If you want to wait till tomorrow ring your GP, tell them what happened and they might make room for you, if not call your hospitals birth/Maternity ward and talk to someone there. Ease your mind I say.

Thanks so much for the replies - DF is on his way home now and I think the discharge is getting heavier.

I'm going to call my maternity hospital when DF gets home and see what they suggest - if they suggest getting checked out then we'll go in. I just hate the idea of a late night hanging around a waiting room - better to be safe than sorry though!

Thanks again! :hug:

Oh Ash, I hope everything is OK hun. Pregnancies certainly do cope with a lot, that amniotic sac is a great shock absorber. Bit scary eh. How many weeks are you? I hope you are able to see someone and have your mind put at rest.

Hope everything is ok Ash and your mind is put at rest soon xx

Poor Ash!

I hope the hospital tells you to come in, you have it checked and it turns out to be nothing at all!

I am sure all is fine, will cross my fingers for you :)

hugs ash, thats quite scary. while im sure all will be fine, i think its best to get checked out jic. let us know how you go.xx

Hope all is ok xoox

Thinking of you, Ash. Hope everything is okay :hug:

I hope everything is okay. :hug::hug:

xox

Hope all is ok Ash. Thoughts and prayers are with you

Ash, hope all is ok :hug:

I ran into a door belly first when I was pregnant and had alot of pain after that. The midwife said it was an irritated uterus and it settled after a few days. I did not have any discharge so I would certainly head in to see someone. I hope everything is ok, sending lots of love and strength to you x

that's a little scary! Hope you're ok :hug:

It is very likely that everything is fine but it wouldn't hurt to get checked out. Hopefully you are doing that now and everything is fine.

Hope everything is okay. :hug:

Im hoping all is ok too... stalking a little bit..... :hug:

Checking in to see how you are going. I hope everything is alright.

Checking in aswell, saw your post yesterday but didn't reply as everyone had already said what needed to be said, big :hug: and hoping all is well.

Thanks so much for checking in ladies - I saw bub on an ultrasound and my cervix is shut - thats about all they could tell me for sure.

They put the bleed down as unexplainable again and said it may just be a coincidence in timing with the impact.

They said I may have irritated my uterus and stretched the ligaments and maybe done some muscle damage so I just need to wait it out. Go back in again if the bleeding/discharge or pain gets any worse.

I'm really glad little monkey is ok but I wish I had some actual answers for it instead of a bunch of guesses but oh well! I'm still having the discharge but it hasn't increased at all.

Thanks again :hug: this place is so awesome for support!!

Im glad to hear you got checked!! Bummer though that it didnt really help much!! FX the discharge goes away!!! Your lil monkey is sure a cheeky one already!!! :)

Glad you got looked at. And hey, you got to see your cheeky one again, that has to be nice. Maybe the imact has helped push out some old stored blood, is it still dark brown?

How are you going now Ash? Has everything settled for you now?

Yep - everything has settled down now. Thanks for checking in with me :hug:

I'm still getting ligament niggles every now and then but nothing I'm worried about - getting more and more excited about this baby coming everyday!!!

That is good to hear. Are you finding out the sex at your scan?

We're going to try lol we had no luck at all finding out DDs sex at any of the scans. I was certain she was a girl though - even had a girly layby on for after she was born because I couldn't help myself!

I'm feeling very strongly that this one is a boy - hopefully we can find out!!
