None with my first pregnancy so it scared me but baby is A OK! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356491 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 15:49:13 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2356491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st pregnancy: spotting started at ~5wks, and I wasn't worried because I thought I'd heard it was common. 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 bright red bleeding (less than a period) twice during my healthy pregnancy (8-10weeks or so, started after an ultrasound)...and no bleeding at all for my miscarriages. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356403 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 13:15:28 +0000 winniebee 2356403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had two healthy pregnancies and two early losses. 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. Wish you the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356400 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 13:03:09 +0000 runnerd 2356400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Madyetbeautiful: she suggested it might be placenta forming it's attachment, "nestling in" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-bleeding-or-cramps-your-experiences#post-2356399 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 13:01:24 +0000 jlm22 2356399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spotted a little bit when I got my BFP and then had full out bleeding (gushes of bright red blood) from 7 - 8 weeks. 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>
