Burrowing Placenta??

JessarabJessarab member
edited June 2014 in 1st Trimester
I woke up this morning to go to my second u/s appointment to find red spotting (talk about perfect timing). I went in and shared the news and wasn't too hopeful that this appointment would be successful. Much to my surprise, we found a strong heartbeat (119 bpm) and an embryo measuring 6w, 6d (right on schedule). I still have my morning sickness at full strength & the stretching/cramping feeling I've had for the last two weeks. My doctor chalked the bleeding up to my placenta burrowing into my uterine wall - has anyone else encountered this? I'm glad to have a reason for the bleeding but it still leaves me feeling uneasy. Thanks in advance!

    I didn't have any spotting but had terrible cramping at 7 weeks and thought I was miscarrying. It could have been from the placenta but no way to know for sure.  Glad you were able to see a strong heartbeat!

    @Saraeric - thanks for the response! Thankfully the spotting has stopped but I still have some cramping. I'm overthinking all of my symptoms at this point and am looking forward to relaxing for the weekend!
