TP's pls - brown bleeding

goldenB · July 2013

For those of you who remember I've had spotting from 4wks-8wks and the doctor was unable to give me a reason for it.
I have had a pretty rough day today

I have had mild cramping the last 2 days or so but I have been attributing to my uterus stretching. Fast forward to last night where I noticed my spotting has returned. I've been bed bound all day and unfortunately the bleeding has increased drastically - filling up the whole pantyliner at one point, but not soaking it, just staining (dark brown, watery, clotty and stringy mucus). I don't have cramps right now but I am obviously very concerned. Most especially because my loss milestone is coming up in a few days. If you have a moment, I would appreciate and welcome any TPs.

Should I go to the hospital?
Could it be 'breakthrough bleeding'?
worry is consuming me right now.

Thoughts and prayers coming your way.

If your OB has an on-call number, I'd definitely call it.

I'm sorry you are going through this. Brown blood is older blood. Call your OB's after hours office if you are really concerned.

Personally, I would not go into the ED as they can not do any thing for you. Try to rest, stay hydrated and try not to worry.

Easier said then done, I know. Hang in there. Some women spot/bleed on and off the entire pregnancy and have healthy deliveries.

T&P for sure. I'd continue resting and call OB first thing in morning. If things got worse, I'd call the after hours line.

Sending positive thoughts. I'd probably call my care provider and see what they say. I know that brown blood is old blood, but any bleeding during pregnancy is scary.

Call your doctor. I have been having the same thing for over 2 weeks and they found a internal hemorrhage during my last ultrasound. There are reasons for bleeding besides the worst but it is still hard either way.

My thoughts are with you for a good outcome.

I agree to call the on-call number or nurse line. Maybe they can get you an appointment for tomorrow. FX it's nothing at all!

Sending lots of positive vibes your way! Like other PPs said, rest, hydrate and hopefully you can see your doc soon.

FX it's nothing major. A good friend spotted off and on the entire 1st tri (after also first having a mc). She was a nervous wreck, but baby is happy and healthy. Remember - spotting doesn't always end badly!

Really sorry to hear this goldenB, my heart goes out to you. I would definitely call your OB, I can only imagine how much you are worrying and if he/she gives you good news you will feel so much better!

I hope that you were able to call and get some answers [or at least an appointment]. I'm dealing with the same thing, and it's scary - I hope that things look good and that you get some answers soon. Keep us posted!

thank you everyone for your well wishes.
i called my OB and he is on vacation this week

i really want to avoid the ER (even though telehealth directed me there) because it reminds me too much of my past m/c experience. i promise to go if the cramps return or if the bleeding increases. right now i am on bed rest. and trying hard to not worry.
