On Saturday, while taking a shower, I started bleeding rather heavily and was taken via abulance to my L&D dept...they put the baby and I on monitors right away, and everything was fine with the baby and even with me. They did a NST and a Biophysical Profile (8/8) and even my bloodwork came back perfect.
So they are thinking that my placenta has slipped and is now low laying, so having sex caused the bleed.
I did end up hacving some pretty major contractions for 2-3 minutes apart for almost 2 hours. I got some Tributeline (spelling) and that made them go away.
However, now I am TOTALLY freaked out! Has anyone gone through this before?
Oh and I have u/s scheduled for 36 weeks to check everything....
Re: Heavy Bleeding Scare...Needed to tell someone
Are you on any type of bedrest or pelvic rest?
That must have been incredibly scary. Glad that you and LO are ok. I had a major blood gush / water break at just over 38 weeks with my second DD. but I had no contractions. They said it was a placental abruption and tried to induce labor (I was scheduled to be induced 3 days later for high blood pressure). But they couldn't kick start things fast enough so I had an emergency c section.
As long as your placenta is attached (which mine wasn't) I would think you should be fine for now. I'm glad they are monitoring you. Good luck.
