Freaking out

Mauidmama · May 2013

I'm 12 weeks and a few days, and when I woke up this am there was some pink blood when I wiped and in the toilet. Haven't had anymore but I feel crampy. Really scared, my appointment Friday can't come soon enough.

Have you recently had sex? That may be it if so.
Otherwise if not, just keep an eye on it. Was there a lot? Or just a tinge on the tp? Is it light pink? red? clots? brownish? If there becomes more, I'd say call your dr.

No sex in like 2 weeks, light pink and some brown. Enough to see it on tp and in the toilet. I hate this feeling.

I'd say if you are worried call your dr today and just say this is what I saw chances are that it's nothing to worry about but having peace of mind will make you feel better

I would definitely call the doc if it was me, I think I'd just want my mind put at ease. Bleeding is so common though so it probably nothing to worry about.

I have had a lot of spotting off and on since the start of this pregnancy. It stayed mostly brown until last Wednesday, when it was pink and showed up in the toilet like yours. It stopped, but then appeared again briefly on Thursday. I had a scheduled appointment on Friday, which I was so nervous for, but everything was great! I was exactly 11 weeks at that point.

My doctor is sending me for a better ultrasound tomorrow, since she thinks I might either have a small hematoma or that the placenta is lying a little low on my cervix.

Hang in there and relax if you can!! Friday will be here soon!!

No dr here, but sounds like a possible subchronic hematoma. Brown blood is more of a dried up blood.
Call your dr if you are worried, they get calls every day from new and expecting moms going through stuff like this.

I hope everything is ok. From a health standpoint, an appt sooner than Friday probably won't make a difference. But froma peace of mind standpoint, it could make you feel a lot better to get seen sooner. If it were me, I'd call. My ob asked me to call if I were to see any bleeding.

Thanks ladies. I called the doc because the spotting continued and more cramping. She had me come in right away since I work in the same building. Heard the heart beat! It was 160. Incan breathe now. Sent me home from work and ordered to rest and will have an ultrasound tomorrow.

Great update! So glad you heard the heart, are getting rest, and getting to see your baby tomorrow is a bonus on top of that!

It's wonderful when you have an OB that takes you seriously!
