I’m sorry if I forgot to mention that. I’m just not thinking. They said my hCG is on but I have red flakes today and I don’t know if that’s normal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-hello-im-very-worried-about-brownred-tiny-flaking#post-2806065 Sat, 24 Feb 2018 14:04:55 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2806065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So when I had bleeding in early pregnancy it actually took weeks to go completely away which I think is normal for bleeding in early pregnancy if you do bleed or have an SCH. I had a VERY early vanishing twin and an SCH. I know you can't help but worry, though. It took three ultrasounds to see a heartbeat for my son, and he's 2.5 now. It was very scary. Keeping you in my thoughts &amp; prayers, hope it stops soon and your appointment goes well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-hello-im-very-worried-about-brownred-tiny-flaking#post-2806064 Sat, 24 Feb 2018 14:04:44 +0000 mrswin 2806064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lilmommy: I’m sorry you are going through this. How far along are you? Does your OB not have an emergency number you can call in a situation like this? What did they advise you to do at the ER? Pelvic rest? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-hello-im-very-worried-about-brownred-tiny-flaking#post-2806061 Sat, 24 Feb 2018 14:01:21 +0000 Lilmommy 2806061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>😥 PLEASE HELP, So I’ve been diagnosed with high-risk pregnancy due to not having a thyroid. I was bleeding yesterday it was more red not superheavy but dripped a little. I went to the emergency room they said my cervix is closed but they found a 2.6 hemorrhage on wall. I looked everywhere I don’t even know if that’s a small or medium one. No cramps Some back pain but I’ve have back problems anyway so I don’t know the difference. When I went to the hospital they did the blood test and said my cervix is closed and minimal bleeding. They did a vaginal ultrasound and saw the baby and good heartbeat along with the hemorrhage. I’m home and there are tiny dots of red when I pee. I’m really scared and trying not to stress so I need peace of mind. Has anyone experienced anything like this and has been fine? I have 2 days til I see my ob and really wigging out. PLEASE HELP. 😿 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating-and-scary-bleeding-at-14-weeks#post-2357084 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 13:26:34 +0000 hoogirl05 2357084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: thank you so much, that definitely makes me feel better! I am very cautiously optimistic that things are improving. Last night I had much much less when I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and so far during the day it has been light to almost nonexistent and only on tissue. </p> <p>DH has been amazing about keeping me off my feet and DD and I have done a lot of book reading in the couch. </p> <p>FX that I have a relatively quick resolution like you did! I have been able to feel baby's movements which is some comfort :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating-and-scary-bleeding-at-14-weeks#post-2356982 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 11:39:04 +0000 jh524 2356982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hoogirl05: wow I literally could have written this post myself. I had bright red bleeding and a lot of cramping around 13-14 weeks. I chalked it up to overdoing it physically and I took a week off and it slowly went away. No exercise whatsoever and just laid around for a week. I had 2 ultrasounds and vaginal exams during this time and baby looked great and heartbeat was fine. My cervix was closed and dr saw no issues. Doctor didn't have an answer but did warn me it could be a sign of miscarriage but pretty rare around this stage of pregnancy. I also got a Rhogam shot for the bleeding.<br /> I hope your bleeding and cramps go away and everything is just fine like my experience wth this about a month ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356978 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 11:27:08 +0000 jh524 2356978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Madyetbeautiful: I had a bleed and cramping around 13 weeks.

I ended up m/c'ing at 6.5wks. </p> <p>2nd pregnancy: I bled heavily 1 day at 5wks &amp; thought I'd m/c again, but my sweet baby girl was born at 40w1d! :grin: </p> <p>As others have said, the bleeding sure didn't seem to correlate to the outcome, so wishing you the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356429 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 14:18:49 +0000 BandDmommy 2356429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st- spotting/bleeding entire 1st trimester (vanishing twin), healthy DS born at 34 weeks<br /> 2nd- implantation bleeding, healthy DD born at 36 weeks and change<br /> 3rd- off and on spotting until week 8..

They diagnosed me with borderline progesterone and treated for the rest of the first trimester, but said it was just caution and they could see no real reason for the bleeding.</p> <p>So basically, no pattern between bleeding/healthy pregnancy for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356409 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 13:29:45 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2356409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had two first trimester losses and have one healthy baby!

I had spotting very early on with both losses that turned into bleeding. I never spotted or bled in my healthy pregnancies. Everyone is different though.

The ultrasound at 7 weeks showed a heart rate of 80/90 so we were pretty much preparing ourselves for a loss. Went back for a follow up at 8 weeks and everything was normal! She's now 7.5 months :)<br /> It's so scary... Wishing you the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356398 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 12:54:13 +0000 Ree723 2356398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first, I had horrific cramping for the first eight weeks. Like doubled over in pain, gasping for breath kind of cramping. It wasn't constant but would come in fifteen minute waves a few times a day. I went for a dating scan and to make sure it wasn't ectopic, but everything was done and they just chalked it up to my uterus stretching. DD was born on her due date so it was obviously nothing to worry about in my case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356395 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 12:35:02 +0000 Madyetbeautiful 2356395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Runnerd: Hello! Yes, I remember you saying - did they suggest a possible cause at your check up? It's a nightmare and my DH is being brilliant but doesn't want me to move in case it makes it all worse.</p> <p>@Coopsmama: Thanks for sharing - glad it all worked out well for you. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356393 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 12:28:50 +0000 Madyetbeautiful 2356393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: That does sound dramatic! Glad it all turned out well. </p> <p>@T.H.O.U: @Foodnear81: Great to hear your positive stories!</p> <p>I'd feel more comfortable if they had diagnosed the cause at all, but my specialist was quite blasé about it and was more focussed on there being a heartbeat. I know sometimes progesterone is prescribed, but it seems to be rather hard to get hold of in UK.</p> <p>So far I've had cramping and some quite severe stretching (weeks 4-5).<br /> Pale spotting and a sudden bright red bleed - was convinced it was all over (week 6), then good heartbeat and growth confirmed.<br /> Now (in week 7) the pale spotting is back with a constant tight feeling in lower pelvis. </p> <p>The first tri stage is just plain scary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356388 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 12:19:29 +0000 coopsmama 2356388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had spotting, bleeding and cramps with both of my successful pregnancies. I agree with @runnerd: that you can't really judge what is going on by it unfortunately. I know it is so unnerving and wish you the best! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356387 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 12:16:28 +0000 runnerd 2356387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO #1, I bled from 5wk to 13wk, and that included some bad episodes. As you may remember, I've also been spotting lightly this pregnancy, and I've had a good ultrasound, but just 8 weeks. For me personally, I've spotted every time I've been pregnant with good and bad outcomes, I honestly don't think you can judge by bleeding. It's sooooo hard though!!! :heart: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356383 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 12:04:05 +0000 Foodnerd81 2356383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had spotting or bleeding, but I had pretty bad cramping for the first couple of weeks with my first pregnancy. She was born one day before her due date, so obviously the cramping wasn't anything to worry about (though of course I did). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356382 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 12:03:30 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2356382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo1- no issues<br /> LO2 - bleeding from SCH </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356369 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 11:23:34 +0000 Truth Bombs 2356369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had spotting throughout my pregnancy with my daughter. They decided it was due to a friable cervix. The pregnancy was sort of dramatic (pre term contractions and a number of ER trips) but my daughter was born completely healthy at full term. With this pregnancy I spotted at 5 weeks and had some cramping with it. Never spotted again. I'm currently 37 weeks. Prior to both kids I had a miscarriage that started with spotting that eventually got heavier and heavier until it was full bleeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356367 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 11:17:01 +0000 Madyetbeautiful 2356367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I'm intrigued to hear what other's experiences have been of any 'unusual events' (spotting, bleeding, cramps, etc) during their pregnancies and how you are getting on now. </p> <p>I've had bleeding and spotting with my current pregnancy after previous losses (still early days), but had healthy heartbeat confirmed, so trying to ignore it. I wasn't given any indication as to the cause - I'm wondering whether many others are / have been in a similar position and if you'd like to share your experiences? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating-and-scary-bleeding-at-14-weeks#post-2355585 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 12:28:34 +0000 hoogirl05 2355585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnleaves: Good luck at your next checkup, hopefully your kiddo will hang in there! I think I read that for abruptions etc if it happens earlier it's better and lower risk so fx for you on that. Is treatment just monitoring for you?</p> <p>I just hope the MFM doc can find an answer, that's what I want at this point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating-and-scary-bleeding-at-14-weeks#post-2355579 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 12:20:50 +0000 autumnleaves 2355579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hoogirl05: That's awful that it is ongoing like this but at least everything looked good today!<br /> The placental abruption happened to me in the middle of the night. No one knows what caused it but luckily it was minor (even though it seemed like a lot of blood to me) and the ultrasound they did showed everything is ok. My next US is next week and I am curious if the dr will be able to see the tear in the placenta on it and of course hoping my baby is staying strong and healthy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-frustrating-and-scary-bleeding-at-14-weeks#post-2355530 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 11:51:51 +0000 hoogirl05 2355530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update from me: Had another bout of dark brown bleeding this morning, seems mostly in the am after I've been lying down all night. And then goes back to nothing more than spotting for most of the rest of the day. My doc was definitely stumped by that one since it's more logical to assume being up/walking would make it worse, not lying down. </p> <p>At my visit this morning, cervix was completely normal, baby and heartbeat looked great. She thought she could see a spot that might be the source of the bleeding on the u/s and I could see it once she pointed to it. So she referred me to a maternal-fetal medicine doc (MFM) and I go for a transvaginal (ugh) u/s there on Wednesday mid-morning. </p> <p>Anyone else ever had more bleeding once they got UP from lying down vs when they walked or were up and about? </p>
