XP: Spotting (some TMI) *updated*

nattnnattn member
in 1st Trimester
I have been very constipated and strained pretty hard about 3 hours ago. I almost expected to bleed a little so when I saw blood just now on the TP, I didn't freakout immediately. I wiped again, more bright red blood. I thought, maybe it's not coming from my vagina so I checked with a mirror. It is coming from my vagina and it's enough that I need a panty liner.I've heard you can spot from being constipated and straining, but this is bringing flashbacks and I'm trying really hard not to panic. I know I could go to the ER (would be hard because we have DD nd it's so late) but I just feel like there's nothing they could do for me other than tell me if I still have a baby or not.Anyone else experience this much spotting from straining?

    I haven't experienced this but I have heard the same thing about straining hard. Did you call your doctor and did the bleeding stop?

    I didn't call the on-call doctor, because in the past when I've been spotting on the weekend, they tell me I can go to the ER if I want, it's up to me. Annoying IMO.

    The spotting seemed to be getting better last night, so I just went to bed and decided not to worry. This morning I got up to go pee and there was a lot more blood and some clots. It looked like a light day of my period.

    With that amount of blood, I knew I would stress out all day, so I went ahead and came to the ER. I'm waiting for a u/s now.

    Thanks guys!

    The doctor said "threatened miscarriage" but that everything looked normal. The baby is where it should be, measuring just right, and had a heartbeat that measured 153-160! I follow up with my OB tomorrow, but I was very glad with those results. I'm still spotting a little, but it has slowed down since this morning. 

    I really appreciate the support and I'm hopeful that this baby is going to stick around!

    Thank you! I actually went to my OB today and got nothing but good news! I'm barely spotting now and it turned brown. Baby is measuring right on track and had a strong heartbeat at 153! The doctor isn't worried at this point, just wants me to call if the spotting turns red again or gets heavier. I am so relieved!
