Hi this is my first time being pregnant! which I'm exceited to be but it hasn't been the best at all...My doc told me very early in the 2 trimester that I have plesenta previa and that there is alot of things that im not able to do...at 24 weeks I started having Bracxon hicks contractions and they were very painful... which i was told was not normal...and then they put me on bedrest fro the rest of the pregnancy...now I'm spotting and they can't seem to find out why or were it coming from..they said it could be from the inside of the utrist but they said that there was no way to tell...so they put me on perminit bedrest untill my babys due date which is 4-4-11...has this ever happen to anyone or am I just very lucky.

    Definitely call your doc.  FWIW though, I spotted all the way up to 32 weeks and delivered a healthy, full-term baby.  Some people just bleed a lot throughout their pregnancies.

    Like all the other ladies said call your Doc!  Better safe than sorry!  I didn't have Placenta Previa but I did spot bright red my 24th week and it was found my spotting was due to Incompetent Cervix & I too was put on bedrest for the remainder of my pg.  Not sure if they have checked you for IC but if not I would ask to be checked.  GL & keep us posted.

    Call your doctor ASAP!

    I had placenta previa and started spotting & they admitted me to the hospial right away to monitor the baby. You can start having MAJOR bleeding really quickly. I had no idea how serious it was either until I went in.

    I ended up having 3 bleeding episodes anf after the 3rd bleed (which wasn't too heavy) they kept me in the hospital for the rest of my pregnancy (I spent a month on hospital bedrest!) and did a c-section at 36 weeks. They gave me steroid shots to help the babys lungs develop and monitored me really closley!

    PLEASE call your doctor and make sure to follow their bed rest instructions, you do not want to have a baby at 29 weeks!!!
