Spotting/bleeding? Anyone else?

in 2nd Trimester

I have spotted now three times so far in this pregnancy and though I have been assured everything is fine, and the ultrasounds have all looked great, I still can't relax because they can't tell me why the bleeding happens. The first time was a 6 weeks, the second was last week at 13 weeks, and the third time happened was this weekend at 14 weeks. Each time it was just for an hour or so, but it was heavy enough that its really upsetting... My doctor keeps telling me to call when it happens and then they have me in for an ultrasound to make sure things are okay. I am grateful its been fine but the rollercoaster has been exhausting. Is anything like this happening to anyone else? I'm trying to relax, I swear.... I was just hoping that now that I'm into the second trimester these days would be behind me.

    I had heavy red bleeding around 9 weeks, it is very scary! Hopefully yours will go away soon, they never found out why I was bleeding...

    I'm sorry that you are stressed!  I hope everything is ok!  Have they checked the position of the placenta?  If it is close to or covering the cervix, that can cause bleeding.

    I had very light pink spotting at 15w after sexy time with DH. The culprit, a busted blood vessel. The doc's reasoing, there's increased sensitivity down there and things sch as vigorous intercourse, lifting, ect can cause them to rupture.

    I totally understand how emotionally upsetting that is!  I had really light spotting off and on from about 6 weeks to 14 and it completely stopped after that, which I have been very thankful for. So hopefully yours will stop too!   On the bright side you get to see your baby more often!

    i had it with DD and it was terrifying! I had light pink/brown/orange spotting at 15, 16, and 18 weeks then at 21 weeks bright red blood. Each time they did an ultrasound and everything was fine. I never really had a reason why it happen to me either other then maybe a sensitive cervix. After the bright red bleeding they put me on partial bed rest to 2 weeks, so i could get up and take a shower or make a meal but other then that i took it pretty easy and i never had any issues again. I was also put on pelvic rest for 2 months. I would just try to take it as easy as possible. and just know that spotting and bleeding don't always mean something is terribly wrong. hth:)

    Thank you everyone, it does make me feel better that I'm not the only one. They did check my placenta which is high and away from the cervix and we have not had any "sexy time" (love that expression btw ha ha) because we're so scared of causing any spotting. I will take deep breaths and continue to take it as easy as possible. Thanks again!
