Bleeding for the first time

in August 2014 Moms
Literally an hour after we told the in laws, I used the rest room and there was a little bit of blood.

We had sex last night, so I'm not sure if that would be the cause.

It was just a little bit and I have slight cramping but nothing bad.

My blood work was all outstanding just a few days ago. Has anyone experienced this?

    It could have been from sex. I've heard that happens. Hopefully that's all it was!

    I've experienced a lot of bleeding with this pregnancy.  I guess it's easier for me to tell you that it can be totally normal, yet I can't seem to take my own advice *sigh*.  Sex can def cause some bleeding, it's totally normal.  If it's brown blood, it's old blood and not concerning.  If it's heavy, bright red period-like  bleeding, it's worth a call or visit to your doc.

    I was diagnosed with a small sch. Are they 'resolved' by bleeding out? Could this be the reason?

    Based upon the [overly] extensive google research I've been doing today on sch, yes! Sometimes they bleed out and sometimes the body absorbs it.

    I would assume maybe from the sex :)

    I had light bleeding last week - I was already not having sex because I had had some brown spotting before and hadn't been to my regular OB yet.  I went to the ER to be sure since it was brighter red, and though he's not sure what caused it, he didn't seem to think it was a major concern (unless it gets really heavy OR is accompanied by cramping).  It can be caused by hormonal changes or a polyp (he seemed to think this might be the case for me, and that the blood might actually be coming from my cervix).  I would talk to your OB about it for sure, but it's probably related to the sch, in which case you should probably just rest until you get checked again.

    Not to be chicken little, but even brown blood is worth a call to your OB. This is how we discovered our missed m/c. Either way, if you call and they draw some blood work for you, you will get some peace of mind. I hope everything is alright.

    I had the exact same thing happen to me. I went to the ER on the 18th and they said my cervix was open and i was most likely going to miscarry. I was so devastated but when i went back two days later for a check up the ultrasound and blood tests came back normal. My new doctor said it's probably nothing to worry about unless you are bleeding heavily or continuously bleeding for a few days. good luck!
