1st Trimester

blood trace in discharge after a flight at 10 weeks TMI

I flew today from where I live to where I'm from, Jordan, and that was a 2 hours and 20 mins flight. I never had any sort of bleeding or spotting not even implantation spotting so far. I got home went to the bathroom and had discharge with little bloody traces all over it, almost like tiny blood hairs, brownish redish blood sort of was very weird, I did have some very mild back, sides, and lower abdomen pain, nothing excessive more like discomfort than real pain almost like when my period is a week away, I tried wiping and I got some more discharge with tiny tiny clots of blood also in the darker brownish red colour, very little in total but it got me worried and I've been having the mildest cramps ever since.

I'm worried more because I should be flying to London for a 6 hours flight this coming Sunday. My aunt called her GYN/OB here and they said its normal but asked me to come in on Saturday for an u/s and give me some sort of medication to protect the pregnancy and prevent an m/c?! something that they give women with really high risk who should be on bed rest with bleeding and such. I'm worried that is going to have side effects and my doctor isn't here.

Re: blood trace in discharge after a flight at 10 weeks TMI

  • Is that what they give normally? Progestrone? This is my first pregnancy and seeing blood shocked me. The fact that i have more cramps all of a sudden isnt assuring either

  • Cramping is normal through a major portion of pregnancy. I'm 17 weeks and still get the occasional cramps from baby migrating and growing.


     








  • thanks everyone, I will just wait until I'm back and can go see my doctor

  • Spotting is very normal though I understand why it may be alarming you. My first two pregnancies I never spotted. This one I spotted daily from weeks 7-15. Turns out I had a low lying placenta.

    They are probably going to give you progesterone and possibly a Rhogam shot, just in case.

    Flying will not cause a miscarriage. If you miscarry its because you were going to anyway, it would have nothing to do with the flight. I know that probably doesn't make you feel any better, but its the truth.

    Hang in there...early pregnancy is stressful but you are almost out of the 1st tri and hopefully will start feeling better soon.

  • I think I will just wait until I'm back home and can see my doctor, I didn't see any other spotting beside that one time where it was more like a trace than spotting. I'm flying today to London and should be back home within a week and that's when I have my appointment anyway.

    thanks ladies
