I may totally try both of those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998862 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 12:25:19 +0000 cascademom 1998862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had a friable cervix for both pregnancies (LO and now). During my pregnancy with LO, I had some spotting early on. Later, I had a bout of bleeding at 20 weeks. It turned out to be two infections: bv and a yeast infection. I drank Kefir the rest of my pregnancy. </p> <p>This pregnancy, I still have a friable cervix. I'm taking probiotics at the start which I think makes a huge difference not just for digestion but for my ladybits. I also use lubricant after sex too in order to calm down the bits. DH and I had sex last night. I bled a bit because I knew I was already dry down there. I wiped with LO's wipes and lubed up afterward. No redness or blood since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998860 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 12:17:39 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1998860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: @Rockies11: @anonysquire: @PinkElephant: @PinkElephant: @MamaBehr: @Greentea: @MapleMoose: @yoursilverlining: @Reese: @erind425: @GoGoSnoGirl: Thank you ladies for the input and good thoughts!</p> <p>I had a little more bright and dark blood with wiping, then a very small amount of pink, then brown spotting on a panty liner, no cramping or further clots. I think this was almost certainly my cervix. Probably will hold off on further scans until my next scheduled appt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998853 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 12:02:12 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1998853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bled pretty heavily 1 day at 5wks. I sincerely thought I was m/c'ing, but we are 18.5wks now &amp; all's going well. Hope this is nothing problematic for you. :goodluck: :heart: :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998667 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 02:36:54 +0000 jape14 1998667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had brownish-red spotting and some more red than brown bleeding starting the day after my BFP (maybe 15 dpo/4 weeks) through my first ultrasound (I think it was sometime between 6 and 7 weeks). I was a complete wreck and, no joke, took a test everyday until my first ultrasound! (A gigantic waste of $$ but it helped ease my anxiety a little.) My OB determined that I had a friable cervix (no evidence of a SCH or anything), and I noticed throughout the pregnancy that I always spotted a little with ultrasounds and cervical checks. Anyway, my pregnancy went really smoothly besides that, I was induced at 41+1, and right now I am nursing my 3.5 month old at 2:30am!</p> <p>Anyway, try to find something to help you manage the anxiety (maybe not an expensive POAS habit! acupuncture also helped me), and try to stay off Dr. Google when you can! Wishing you all the best! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998619 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 23:11:08 +0000 Reese 1998619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had pink/red spotting at 7 weeks. It was fine and I haven't had anything since. 13 weeks right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998600 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 22:31:40 +0000 yoursilverlining 1998600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had brownish-blood discharge and pink/red bleeding in the 1st tri and a SCH with my pregnancy, and carried to term a happy and healthy baby. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998589 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 22:15:51 +0000 MapleMoose 1998589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During my first pregnancy I had some red bleeding, brown discharge, and cramping periodically from weeks 4-8. A triage nurse told me it could be some remnants of what would have been excreted during my period or something to that effect and the doctor wasn't worried about it. LO is now a healthy happy 14 month old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998553 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 21:29:05 +0000 Greentea 1998553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had red bleeding at 12 weeks and everything turned out okay. OB said it can happen in 25% of pregnancies without negative consequence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998545 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 21:19:57 +0000 MamaBehr 1998545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have bled with all three of my pregnancies, and my youngest will be one tomorrow! I don't know why, but I always bleed at the beginning of my pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998525 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 21:06:25 +0000 PinkElephant 1998525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had bleeding at 6 and 12 weeks during my first pregnancy (dark red, clotty, and pretty dismal looking - the second time I went to the ER). The OB never found an explanation (I'd only had external ultrasounds/exams), but I had a healthy baby. I had absolutely zero spotting in my second pregnancy, and that baby was born healthy too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998449 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 19:23:59 +0000 anonysquire 1998449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had bleeding on and off last year while pregnant and it's been going on again with the latest episode around 24 weeks. Still not sure what mine is related to, since there was no sex before the veering started but baby looks and kick great. Sounds like yours is your cervix :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998446 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 19:20:17 +0000 Rockies11 1998446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had lots of bleeding with this pregnancy, and am now 24 weeks. I had bleeding after all ultrasounds, even the belly ones. I had a diagosed SCH eventually. The bleeding had stopped by 12 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998345 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 16:26:45 +0000 SeptMomma12 1998345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I had bleeding on and off with both my pregnancies. With the first, it was spotting for most of the first trimester. With this one (19 weeks now), I had heavy bleeding at 8 weeks with no explanation. Then I continued to have brown discharge until 14 weeks. The doctor said he basically looked at my cervix and it bled - just really, really irritable. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998331 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 15:57:11 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1998331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Thank you! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998325 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 15:50:37 +0000 mfa_lady 1998325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the combo of the ultrasound and the coughing could definitely be doing it!</p> <p>I'm in third tri, but my midwives have told me multiple times that sex and/or coughing and sneezing can cause bleeding. If your cervix is sensitive, I don't think it takes much.</p> <p>Thinking of you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998324 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 15:48:33 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1998324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KatieBklyn: I think "grumpy" is the perfect description! I am glad my OB is so responsive, though! Congrats on 25weeks! :happy: Wishing you a H&amp;H 3rd tri! :heart: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998309 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 15:29:55 +0000 KatieBklyn 1998309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a bunch of pink/bright red/orange blood for about an hour when I was ten weeks pregnant. Went to the ER and everything was fine! (I'm 25 weeks now, and everything is still fine!) </p> <p>The ER doctor couldn't figure out what it was from, but he said that something like 60% of women experience some bleeding in pregnancy and most of the time there's no clear explanation. When I asked how to tell the difference between "no big deal" bleeding and "oh shit" bleeding, he said that while you can always come in and get checked out, if you're not going through more than one pad an hour, he doesn't get super worried. </p> <p>I think some people just have grumpy cervixes! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998299 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 15:17:47 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1998299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boopers: FX! :goodluck: That's definitely what this looks like...but it certainly grabbed my attention! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998297 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 15:15:22 +0000 Boopers 1998297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: my first OB I was seeing said that transvaginal ultrasounds can cause bleeding due to your cervix being irritated. I hope it's nothing more than that for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998294 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 15:11:36 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1998294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: Thank you! Unless the character of this bleeding changes significantly (more actual "flow"--in which case I'll pursue a scan today), I'm going to assume this is just because of a friable cervix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998282 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 14:55:30 +0000 delight 1998282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've spotted through the beginning of all pregnancies and throughout them too. I have a healthy daughter, an early MC at 8w and recently ended a pregnancy for medical reasons. My spotting is due to a friable cervix and none of my loses were attributed to it. Some people just spot or bleed and its "normal" for them. Good luck to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-1st-trimester-bleedingtmi-okay#post-1998271 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 14:48:17 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1998271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my 3rd pregnancy (though likely the first "healthy" one)...and the only one during which I've had any spotting.</p> <p>About a week ago, I had a small amount of dusky red mucus and minimal pink spotting that lasted an hour or two, 24hours after BD.</p> <p>Today, 48hours after a GREAT ultrasound, I passed a few small black clots, then pink to bright-dark red with wiping only. </p> <p>I did talk with my OB this morning...and I'm feeling pretty good. Unless something changes drastically, we're going to assume everything's okay, since rescanning now might just cause even more bleeding... :bummed: I have had an awful cold for the last 3 days and been coughing my head off as well.</p> <p>Has anyone had similar experiences? Was everything okay?</p> <p>ETA: I'm just over 7 weeks today... </p>
