They saw it in the ER but my doctor was never able to see it on the ultrasound in the office. Thats one of the reasons I was on and off bed rest.

It's the worst!</p> <p>@Mrs. Lion: Thank you! I don't have a SCH, they haven't found any reason for the spotting which drives me nuts. I can't wait to be able to feel him.</p> <p>@kodybear: Thanks!! They haven't been able to find any explanation for mine, I wish they could so I could know it wasn't the baby. It's hard to remain calm when it happens but I'm trying.</p> <p>@skipra: @pachamama: @chopsuey: Thank you for sharing, makes me feel better!</p> <p>Thanks everyone. Been a bit down today and running to the bathroom constantly. Your comments help a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-successful-pregnancies-with-spotting#post-2548967 Sat, 14 May 2016 13:51:54 +0000 chopsuey 2548967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my 1st, I had a lot of red at 6 weeks and had spotting on and off well into my 3rd trimester.<br /> She's 5 yo now 😊<br /> Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-successful-pregnancies-with-spotting#post-2548964 Sat, 14 May 2016 13:42:35 +0000 MamaBehr 2548964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had spotting with every pregnancy and I have never had a miscarriage. My second, I spotted until about 13/14 weeks. I had a SCH though, and that was the source of my spotting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-successful-pregnancies-with-spotting#post-2548951 Sat, 14 May 2016 13:00:44 +0000 pachamama 2548951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eta my son was born 3 weeks early for unknown reasons but he is absolutely thriving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-successful-pregnancies-with-spotting#post-2548950 Sat, 14 May 2016 12:59:30 +0000 pachamama 2548950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a ton of spotting! It lasted until 12 weeks, but I was on progesterone suppositories which might have caused it. My two colleagues spotted excessively too. Theirs was actually bright red bleeding at some points. All babies born perfectly healthy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-successful-pregnancies-with-spotting#post-2548915 Sat, 14 May 2016 10:15:10 +0000 skipra 2548915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first the spotting started at 13 weeks and continued for 10 weeks. Not sure the cause, maybe a cervical polyp, but everything was fine! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-successful-pregnancies-with-spotting#post-2548901 Sat, 14 May 2016 09:07:21 +0000 kodybear 2548901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I had it til 12 weeks (irritable cervix). With my second I had it til 30 weeks (irritable cervix and cervical polyp). It sucks hope it stops soon for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-successful-pregnancies-with-spotting#post-2548887 Sat, 14 May 2016 08:24:02 +0000 Alba4 2548887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had spotting/bleeding earlier this pregnancy at 12 weeks and then again at 16 weeks. First time was due to SCH and then I was diagnosed with a complete placenta previa. Baby was fine despite scary bleeding. Ironically I never had spotting during either of my two miscarriages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-successful-pregnancies-with-spotting#post-2548883 Sat, 14 May 2016 08:17:58 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2548883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a pretty big bleed right before 13 weeks and went to the ER because I didn't know what was happening. Turned out to be a SCH and baby was fine. I spotted on and off for the next 2-3 months and was on and off bed rest because I was a teacher and my job was very active (lots of activity restarted the spotting). </p> <p>Everything I have read since really says that bed rest doesn't help very much in these cases. My son was born at 34+5 and they think that there is a possibility that the bleeding contributed to my water breaking early (blood can irritate the uterus I think was the reasoning?) but they don't really know. I did get lots of extra ultrasounds though, just to check and for my peace for mind, and that helped a lot because I didn't actually feel him moving until around 25 weeks! Once I could feel him wiggling I felt so much better, but the extra ultrasounds were what really helped me through it. </p> <p>ETA: Even born early my little guy was perfect and healthy! </p> <p>Hoping it is no big deal for you and that the rest of your pregnancy is smooth sailing! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-successful-pregnancies-with-spotting#post-2548879 Sat, 14 May 2016 08:04:10 +0000 runnerd 2548879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO #1 I bled until 15 weeks, and with LO #2 it lasted until 13-14 weeks.</p> <p>It sucks and you never feel "safe", but hoping it clears up for you soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-successful-pregnancies-with-spotting#post-2548876 Sat, 14 May 2016 07:46:41 +0000 Goldengirl 2548876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long did your spotting last? I've had it off and on since the beginning and every time I think I'm in the clear it happens again. I'm at 13 weeks tomorrow and just had another incident with some dark red bits and pinkish red when I wipe after peeing. Yuck. My doctor last time said just to ignore it because all my scans have been great... but it freaks me out every time. Anyone else have experience where it continued like this? Any positive stories appreciated. </p>
