If you had bleeding/spotting in your pregnancy with a positive outcome

carmelbride05 · November 2011

Can you share your story here? I would love some reassurance as tomorrow can't come sooner. I had spotting with DS (implantation bleeding), but it was only for a few days and light. They did have me do HCG serum tests a couple of times, which obvioulsy rose and then I didn't have anymore bleeding the rest of the pregnancy. This is really freaking me out, since it is going on 6 days and Tues and Wed I bled a bit more (more than a couple spots, but not a need for a pad or tampon) after exercising.

Thanks!

I had spotted for 4.5 weeks with my DS. It wasn't every day and it was usually brown but some days it was every time I went to the bathroom. With this pregnancy I actually bled enough that I went to the ER and they thought I was having a miscarriage (long story but my sac was measuring 7 weeks and my HCG level was through the roof and there was no heartbeat) but 4 days later I went in to confirm the miscarriage and there was a little heart beating away. I think all in all I spotted for a week or so this time but not as much other than the day of heavier bleeding. Both of the pregnancies have been fine. Good luck!

I had some spotting with DS1 in the beginning but nothing like with DS2. With DS2 I had bright red bleeding about 2x/week until 16 weeks and then it finally just stopped. My OB thought she saw a sac of blood between the chorionic membrane and my uterus (a subchorionic hematoma, maybe? She never labeled it as such but that's what I remember popping up with my google search) and said that the blood would either re-absorb or bleed out. I had to go in for growth checks to make sure DS was growing appropriately, and all was ok. After 16 weeks I didn't have any other issues with the bleeding, thank goodness.

I hope all is fine with you! Good luck!

I had spotting and bleeding my entire pregnancy with Ellie. It was scary, eventually they found a polyp on my cervix that was most likely the source. It was removed during my c-section.

The bleeding in my pregnancy started at week four when I bled enough to soak a pad. I read about implantation spotting and this was definitely a lot heavier than what was described. I freaked out and went to the ER to confirm if I was having a miscarriage. Since they didn't have a vaginal ultrasound tool, they used a regular ultrasound and saw that there was something growing in me but they feared I might have had an ectopic pregnancy. I was sent home with instructions to call my OB the next day and what warning signs to look for. My OB had me do three blood draws before I saw him and my numbers kept rising like they should which was very relieving. I spotted off and on until week 9 or 10.

I am a bleeder generally -- I used to spot for days before my periods, and with all my pregnancies, I had spotting. With the first two they didn't end well, but with DS, it all worked out. I started spotting brown with him a few days after my BFP. My betas were great/awesome and u/s showed a sac. I continued to spot red/brown. Next u/s showed flicker of heartbeat. Continued to spot, even heavier, and thought I was miscarrying. Anyway, it went on through most of my first trimester. But he hung in there, much to my amazement and joy.

With my 1st pregnancy, ZERO bleeding. With this one, I was about 7 weeks and woke up in the middle of the night with my underwear and sheets soaked in blood. I freaked out and was sure I had a m/c. Went to the OB and no heartbeat but we weren't sure if it was too early or not. Waited 5 days and baby was growing in there!

Then a couple weeks later I had a lot of cramping and then a ton of blood (I had walked around SF all day), I mean enough to soak a large pad and there was clumps of stuff. I definitely thought I had a m/c at that point, but went in for an u/s and baby was happily floating away in there. It was incredibly strange. I do have a bicornuate uterus, so the doc thought that had something to do with it, but we really aren't sure. I did have some spotting for a few weeks after that, but after about week 18, no more bleeding. Good luck tomorrow!
