Hellobee Boards

I had some bleeding at around 6 weeks. It totally freaked me out! I now have a perfect almost 3 month old. If you haven't had more bleeding and it was just for that short time, I wouldn't be TOO worried.

@crunchy1: Do you know your blood-type at all? Are you RH-Negative? If so, you should bring that up as a concern and mention getting that rhogam shot.

Good luck with your doctor! I'm sure the bleeding is probably nothing, but I know you'll feel better if you can get it checked out!

Ohhh I feel for you...I know that any blood during pregnancy is really scary to see even if it's nothing!

I had bleeding around the six week mark in my first pregnancy. It was bright red blood and didn't last long and everything turned out to be just fine! I have a perfect almost 5-month-old to prove it.

I hope your doctor is able to get you in and provide you some reassurance. Good luck!

@crunchy1: I had numerous bleeding episodes throughout my pregnancy. Turns out I just had a sensitive cervix. I hope it's the same for you. But at 6w6d they should definitely be able to do an US to check for a heartbeat. They should also do an hcg blood test today, and another in 48 hours to make sure things are progressing as they should.

I'm sorry, that sounds scary! I'm a big worrier, so if I couldn't get into the doc I might just go to emerg JUST so they would confirm with a US that everyone was ok and do some blood work. I had my dating US at 6 weeks 5 days and we could see the heart beating away at that point - so it's not too soon to tell. Good luck, I'm sure all is well!

@crunchy1: I have bled with every single pregnancy and haven't had a miscarriage. With my son, I bled a lot and ended up having a subchorionic hemorrhage, which needed monitoring but he was fine With this current pregnancy, I was a new patient at an OB/GYN office and they wouldn't give me advice over the phone, for my bleeding, but still allowed me to come in for an appointment before my originally scheduled appointment. That's super weird your OB/GYN won't see you earlier.... I would press them to get in early, and if you are super worried there is always the ER (I had to do that with my second pregnancy because insurance was weird)

Hang in there, honey. It's super scary, but so, so common to have spotting during pregnancy. (I spotted constantly for all of weeks 7-10 - fun!) My doctor told me I only needed to worry if the blood was bright red, enough to fill a pad in an hour, and accompanied by cramping. Sounds like what you are experiencing is very normal. (Also - total TMI - but the bleeding we think is spotting can actually be from pregnancy-related hemmoroids. Awesome, right?)

Please continue to think positively! I'm surprised your OB won't see you. I bled well into week 7, and I had u/s done and betas taken to make sure it was progressing. I also bled around week 18 and again from weeks 35-40. Some people have sensitive cervixes. I have a very healthy 12w old baby girl so not all bleeding ends badly, but I know how scary it is. I would ask about getting your blood taken at least. Best wishes to you!

I'm also surprised your OB won't see you. I spotted pretty much every day from before my BFP through 7 weeks, which turned out to be because my progesterone suppositories irritated my cervix so much.

@septca: Oh yes, the panic of seeing a toilet filled with blood!

@crunchy1: I had red and heavy bleeding at 6 weeks 5 days with my first pregnancy. I called my OB first thing in the AM and went in for an u/s that morning. Had a healthy pregnancy and my baby girl's 2.5 years old now. Wishing you the best!!

@crunchy1: I had lots of spotting with my pregnancy and everything ended up fine.

Thinking of you and looking forward to hearing good news tomorrow.

Thinking of you!! 80,000 is a great number! Fingers crossed for more good news.

Your beta results were great! I'm sorry you're still bleeding I hope you get encouraging beta results from tomorrow's draw. Keep thinking positively, even when it's hard to do. There are many reasons why people bleed.

@crunchy1: if anything for peace of mind...i think they can do an U/S and check on the baby...i will be thinking about you and sending you all the good vibes!!!

@crunchy1: Thinking of you today!!!

Thinking of you.
