Positive update :)

Hi Mommas, I woke up in a bit of a sweat to discover Im bleeding. Proper bleeding. I'm not shocked which I can't explain but I am feeling quite sad. I've suffered with really bad MS since 5 weeks which had eased up slightly over the last few days but came back last night quite bad.
I'm not very hopeful anything will be ok but I can make peace with it.
I'm going to miss this little one, I never got to see it but I already loved it.

Our doctors office is closed until Monday and our EPU don't scan on wkends. Is there anything I should do?

Oh crap :(. I'm so sorry True! What is happening to our due date group :(
I will pray that it will all turn out OK xx
Big hugs xx.

Thank you covered :hugs:

Fingers crossed for you. Have you got an out of hours doctor you could ring ?

So sorry to hear this true, I hope everything works out OK, big hugs. Xxx

.

Are you having any pain with it? I know its not the same but when implantation happened with my first pregnancy and this pregnancy I had what I considered at the time to be a full blown period but my little beans were still snuggled in tightly, I've also had additional bleeding with this pregnancy and it was due to a subchorionic bleed, maybe that is what is happening with you hun. Really hope everything works out for you. Xxx

Just to update I have called the EPU and will have a scan in the morning. I put a towel on during the night when the bleeding was there and despite it being a proper bleed it seems to have stopped? I expected to wake up with a heavier bleed but it is down to old blood and pink mucous :confused:
I am completely confused.
I did have cramping all day yesterday so I literally did nothing all day but today no cramps or pain - maybe a little twinge here and there but nothing worrying.

What is happening?

I hope it turns out to be nothing bad! I have known several women who have had bleeding early and gone on to have healthy pregnancies. Fingers crossed this will be you too.

When I had bleeding at 5 weeks I too had cramping (like af was on its way) the bleeding wasn't excessive but I was very worried at the time, will keep my fx for you for tomorrow, I hope you have good news to update us with. Xxx

Just popping in to say I hope it's nothing, True! And that your little bean is snuggled in tight! Praying for you!

Ok. This sounds exactly like what happened to me. This may very well be a subchorionic bleed. It is when the baby implants on or near a blood vessel in the uterus and as the placenta forms it causes bleeding to occur.

Around 5 weeks I noticed a lot of blood on my panty liner (I was surprised it didn't soak through). I called my office and they scheduled me for an US a week later. It never progressed and lightened to only being present when I wiped or a dime sized amount at most on my panty liner. I would continue to have a bit of blood occasionally and brown spotting, but I was told that was the scab falling off and causing it to ooze a bit until it healed. It was completely gone by my 13 week 5 day scan.

I hope and pray this is what has happened to you and your bean! I'm praying that it snuggled in super tight!!!

Huge hugs!!

Thank you so much everyone. I know it's terrible but I'm terrified to hope, I do hope but I'm preparing for the worst. I wish it was morning already the day is going so slow. I'm afraid to do anything in case I start it off again.

Oh gosh True. That must have been so scary. I hope it is something like what XX went through and tomorrow you see that baby is doing great!!! I'll be thinking of you today!

NO NO NO. True I am so sorry you are going through this. I really hope and pray that your little bean is ok! I am so sorry.

Oh True, I'm so sorry to read this. Even if it turns out to be nothing, it is such a horrible worry. Try to keep positive and take proper care of yourself, lots of rest. Praying for you and for good news at your scan xx

Thank you so much mommas :hugs: you are all so precious.

So sorry :( I had a SCH bleed at 8 weeks with my youngest. I actually have a thread in this section somewhere that was posted two years ago. Bleeding during pregnancy is always scary. I really hope that all turns out for the better for you!

Thinking of you true xx

When is your scan True? I have everything crossed for you xx

Firstly - thank you so much to all of you - I'm feeling really emotional right now and so grateful to each and every one of you for your support & kind words.
I've had my scan and baby is perfect, measuring exactly to dates and a beautiful little heartbeat. There is a bleed visible on U/S, I'm waiting to see the doctor now.
We have been blessed and are so thankful.

Yay :). I'm doing a little happy dance right now! Wooohoooo!

Such wonderful news! I'm glad baby is doing well!

Oh wow so relieved!! So happy for you :D

So pleased to hear this :-) its fab news, so happy for you that everything is well. Xxx

Yay! I'm SO happy for you [emoji8][emoji170]!! Please keep us posted on what the doctor says. I'm sure it is just a subchorionic bleed that will resolve over time. What a relief and a beautiful site to see the heartbeat [emoji4]!!

Huge hugs!!

Very pleased to see this update, True :bluecheer:

Great news! I had a similar bleed, very scary but now she's 4 days old! x

Oh gosh I"m sorry I missed this yesterday but so thankful that everything seems ok!! It is really common!! I bled heavily for 5 days with my 4th son and then spotted several times after that. Praying!!

The doctor has said it is a SCH, they didn't have much information or reassurance just a lot of wait and see.
I'm nervous but hoping all will be ok :fx: :pray:
So happy to hear many of you have had this and gone on to have your beautiful babies :)

Deaks congratulations on your new arrival :HH: enjoy every minute.

I think they have to play it that way, yk? I was told that these happen a lot and people simply just don't talk about them. Probably because they are sitting and waiting for the worst to happen, instead of being reassured that most often things will be fine!

I was told by my OB and the MFM doctor that unless the SCH measures the same size as the gestational sac or larger, everything will be fine. If it is very large, it might cause the placenta to abrupt as the scab falls off. This is rare. For this to happen a lot of bleeding happens. Not spotting. Bleeding like a heavy menstrual period or more.

Hang in there, play it safe for a while. Hold onto the fact you saw the heartbeat (YAY [emoji4]!!), and try to relax a bit!

Do you have another scan scheduled or appointment?

Hugs!!

How much fish oil are you taking if any?? Let's wean that back by half now (don't stop it cold turkey, wean back)

if you can't wean (pills are big or whatever) then start taking every other day

Thank you so much XX :kiss:

I do have another scan in 2 weeks it was booked prior to this but I will keep it :)
I saw the measurements for the bleed but can only remember 18mm - I'm sure it was 18 x 2 x 6 or similar. I'm hoping that's small? It said sub to sac which again I'm not sure about.

Atomic I had 1000mg capsules so have been doing EOD with them, is that ok to continue?

Start skipping 2 days between them.

Atomic the only supps I have continued with are my pre natal, extra folic, vitD & fish oil :)

I weaned off CoQ10, stopped EPO & keep forgetting probiotics now :D

Oh that's good! That means it is super tiny! They want to watch it and make sure it doesn't get larger, but don't worry! With one that small everything should be fine! Mine was 1mm X 5mm X 12mm.

FX!! Has the spotting stopped? Don't be alarmed if after it stops for a few days that you see brown spotting and the scab come out in the toilet or when you wipe. When this happens you may have light spotting for a day or two as it oozes while it heals. Once this happens, it should stop for good. This is what the MFM doctor told me! I was thankful, because I noticed the scab and thought crap it's a clot! It wasn't though, but I thought it was at first glance.

I'm praying this resolves quickly and you can enjoy this pregnancy fully!!!

Am I aiming to stop the fish oil eventually?

Thanks Atomic :)

The proper bleeding has stopped its down to blood stain mucous (mostly old) and pink streaks occasionally.

Thanks so much I was warned it could happen again and to go back in but nothing about a scab - I'm glad im prepared for that now. So if that happens it's a good sign of healing?
I hope you are right XX and that this fixes itself :pray: I haven't gotten to enjoy this pregnancy at all yet between MS and then this.

Sometimes the body will reabsorb the scab and you won't know it came off, but you will see a tad more spotting and brown spotting after it happens. I was told I may see mine pass because my placenta was in front.
