I just had a complete and total melt down....

metbn8421 · July 2013

Yesterday I had my first OB appt since graduating from the RE. I had a pap and the Dr told me that I may have some spotting afterwards because the cervix is very vascular when you're pregnant but not to worry.

I did have spotting yesterday and it was very light. Stopped long before I went to bed and no cramps at all.

About an hour ago DH and I start out for our nightly walk and about a block in I get this sharp pain and decide to turn around and go home. I immediately go to the bathroom to check because PAIF brain has been getting the best of me this week. There was blood. There was more than yesterday but certainly nothing like a period. I go right in to full on freak out mode. Crying and mumbling.

DH had to sit me down and make me look at him. He called the nurse line and explained everything and they told us not to worry unless there was more flow similar to a period.

I don't think I would have freaked out so bad if we hadn't just told everyone the news. DH's dad spilled the beans to others before we were ready so we didn't deny it and it got out.

DH was amazing and I'm glad I have him but I didn't expect that I would react that way.

I don't really know what I'm going on about now....thanks for listening.

Hugs. Can you see Dr Monday? I'd rest the rest of the weekend. Many people here bled and are still having healthy pregnancies.

Thank you. I'm going to rest and watch it tonight and tomorrow. If I feel anymore cramping or the spotting doesn't stop I'm going to make an appt. Even if they just tell me I'm fine and not to worry that would be better than not knowing.

Ah :< Sorry you had those scares.

The pap and especially if you've been using vaginal progesterone will cause bleeding.

I had bleeding from Crinone suppositories. My OB put off my pap for 6 weeks after I stopped Crinone. That is how certain she was that it would cause bleeding.

I was there with you at five weeks. It started as spotting and me calling the doc on call. told me it was ok. two days later I had two pad full of blood in a hours. I lost it and went to the ER. After five hours waiting I got a ultrasound and I was told i am ok. Now at 11 weeks I had some spotting again and they told me I am fine. I freak out every time. It is so hard. My DH tells me I am fine, but I worry a lot.

I get extra ultrasounds and I have a doppler, but things are still hard. Best of luck and I know worrying is part of the process.

I am sorry you had a scare. Hopefully you can rest today and it stops.

Thank you again ladies. It helps so much to be able to come here and share.

I think I'll definitely be buying a doppler just for that bit of reassurance. I am 11w4d today ( I've been trying to add a ticker but there is some kind of glitch that won't allow me to delete my old one). Only 199 days to go! I can do it! I just keep repeating to myself that many women have bleeding during pregnancy and go on to have healthy babies.

I bled from 7 wks to 10wks3day. And once it was heavy as a period and both babies were fine. I thought all was over when I saw that but it wasnt. I think the crinone made my cervix irritated and the day after every vaginal ultrasound I always bled. So dont feel like all is lost bc it isn't.
