@swedishfish: my OB took me too when I mentioned I was bleeding. Call your OB
-
I can't tag everyone on my phone but I did call the OB's nurses line yesterday and a nurse instructed me to monitor the situation. I should call again if it became a full flow, I passed clots or had pelvic pains.
-
@swedishfish: wishing you the best luck. Please take it easy and keep your feet up if you can. Also lots of water to stay hydrated.
I had red bleeding for about 36 hours before it would stop but it turned out ok. Hopefully they can get you in to check on things soon (have you ruled out ectopic)?
-
@T.H.O.U.: I haven't even had an ultrasound yet. I think my OB's office is not equipped for early pregnancy issues. They've ruled out ectopic purely on the fact that I don't have constant pelvic pain.
-
@swedishfish: well at least they have talked about it. I know when I went to the ER their big concern was that everything was in the right place and I wasn't having a rupture. I still think they would need an ultrasound though to check that.
Again, try to keep your feet up if you can and avoid any straining. Hopefully it's a SCH like many of us have had.
-
@swedishfish: I hope you're feeling better this morning! Bleeding early on is so scary.
-
@swedishfish: Hope you've had a good day..... thinking about you.

@swedishfish: When I had early 1st tri bleeding (like, really early, 4 weeks), I called my OB's office and explained what was going on and she ordered beta testing. It came out fine so she said she would just see me at 8 weeks. Ultimately it was because of placenta previa, which self-corrected by 18 weeks.
-
@LovelyPlum: @T.H.O.U.: thanks...I ended up with red spotting and passed a small red clot so I went into the OB's office. The NP said she didn't see any more blood and my uterus felt fine. But I've had a little more bleeding since I've been home. I'm trying to keep calm and relax until my ultrasound on March 10.
-
@swedishfish: ugh so stressful!!! That's how I was around 7w, and my SCH was diagnosed a few days later.
Can you request an earlier ultrasound? Did they try to hear the heartbeat? I forget how far along you are.
Sending good thoughts your way!
-
@swedishfish: Oh goodness, I'm surprised they won't bump up your appointment or get you in right away, if only for peace of mind!
I bled a lot. All through the pregnancy. My cervix was irritable, I was using progesterone suppositories, I had a marginal placenta previa... I literally bled and spotted almost every day, up until I delivered. I had a happy ending, as you know.
Thinking of you!
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: @Pepper: the NP did offer to do a sono right then and there but stressed that we most likely wouldn't see a heartbeat yet (I think I'm 6.5 weeks but I don't know). She said she didn't want to put me through more uncertainty. I was alone because DH was at work so I decided to wait on the sono but now I regret it a little. I didn't want to hear possible bad news alone.
-
I bled a couple of times in the first tri. Baby girl is sleeping next to me!
-
@swedishfish: I totally understand, I never went to a sonogram alone. I was always too afraid. Hugs
-
@swedishfish: I can understand not wanting bad news alone (been through that twice). But maybe call back Monday (even if it's stopped) and see if they could push you through at a time and date your DH could be with you.
-
I had beta tests ordered when I had very early bleeding or spotting. The first time we pretty much knew it was a miscarriage because my urine test had turned negative and I think the doctor could tell from my pelvic exam. With my current pregnancy I just had the beta because the spotting stopped. I also had late first trimester bleeding so they got me in right away for a pelvic exam and to check the heartbeat. All with three different doctors offices. If you are not getting a good response from your doctor you could find another one that will take you in for blood test or ultrasound.
Good luck. I hope everything works out -
Yes I bled with DS for 7 weeks straight and he is here
-
No suggestion but just wanted to know I hope everything goes ok!
-
@swedishfish: Thinking of you and hoping everything is ok!
