I am 5 and a half weeks into my pregnancy. I was out shopping on black friday and was carrying a lot of bags. When I got back to my hotel I went to the washroom and noticed there was some blood on the tissue. It started off brown and turned into a bright pinkish red then started to go away turning brown again by morning. No cramping was present and I didn't see any clotting. I am wondering if it's possible I over did it shopping? Is that possible? I also noticed that my breasts were really sore week four and are now fine. I decided to go to the hospital just to make sure I didn't miscarry and that everything was okay. They did an internal exam and they said I was definetly pregnant and baby was in the unterus right where it should be. It was too early to see a heart beat and couldn't give me an explanation on why I was bleeding. I was also very concerned that all my symptoms were gone in only week 5. Does this sound right?
I appreciate all the help and advice I can get.
Re: No more symptoms - please help!
Symtoms come and go. Trust the doctors you saw at the hospital. All sounds very normal and see your OB if the bleeding returns, especially if accompanied by cramping.
I know it's hard not to worry but remember there is nothing you can do to cause or prevent a miscarriage and enjoy your pregnancy!
When I was pregnant with DD, I had some scary bleeding/spotting around 5 weeks. It seems that my cervix was just sensitive and the bleeding was probably caused by irritation after sex. I was put on "pelvic rest" - no sex or exercise for a few weeks.
Bleeding during pregnancy is so scary. However, the things you heard at the hospital are encouraging. Hopefully your OB can get you in for an appointment soon to check for the heartbeat.
