I'm late to this, but just wanted to say that during my pregnancy with DS1, I had quite a bit of bleeding that started early on and continued on and off throughout the pregnancy. I ended up on bedrest for much of it. I was terrified, always thinking I was going to lose him. When he was finally born, healthy and strong, they mentioned that the placenta seemed to have come off a bit in some spots, which was probably what was causing the bleeding. I've had a couple of early losses, too, so I know how that feels as well. I hope that things turn out OK for you.

Hi Faith,

The most helpful thing anyone said to me when I was going through this came from a very kind emergency room doctor.

He told me that with this kind of bleeding, I would have a 50% chance of keeping the baby, and a 50% chance of losing him or her. He put his hand on my shoulder and asked, "Do you want to keep this baby?" and of course I nodded, and he said, "Then protect it. Go home and rest. Eat lots of healthy food. Sleep well. Do everything you can."

I remember going from feeling so helpless and scared, to feeling like at least there was something I could do. I spent the rest of that pregnancy protecting my son, and now I spend every day protecting him.

When I started to bleed again very early in another pregnancy, I tried again to protect that baby, but lost it. This happened to me twice. At these times, I told myself over and over again to trust my body, that my body knew what was best. That my body was helping me, even if it didn't feel like it. I do believe that both those times, the baby wouldn't have been healthy, and my body was being kind to me and to the little one by letting it go.

Trust yourself. Do everything you can. Believe that your body knows what is best for you, your baby, and your family. I will pray for you, too.

My ultrasound at 6 weeks with my DS2 had no heart beat because it was too early at that stage. And he's healthy and happy sleeping beside me now al ll fingers crossed for you.
