Venting need support

lelly0086 · July 2014

I know this is probably a post many see on here but I have run out of places to vent. No one seems to understand and I'm feeling so alone & so scared. I am 9 weeks pregnant with my second (first one I miscarried) I've spotted off and on old blood the last 2 weeks but today I woke up to heavy heavy bleeding and blood clots. Mild cramping... I'm also a diabetic and my blood sugars have been up and down the last 24 hours. We went to the er this morning and everything checked out just fine. Cervix is still closed, heart rate was 165 and ultrasound showed baby measures exactly where it should be. So I was discharged & put on bed rest for 72 hours. I have an apt with my obgyn tomorrow am but I am driving myself crazy with worry. I'm still bleeding heavy changing pads about every 3 hours. I would love to be optimistic but my gut tells me something is wrong!!! Only thing I can do is wait and see but I'm not patient enough. I want this baby to make it to term more then I want anything in this world. How can I make myself feel better? Any one else go through something like this before?

I'm sorry that I can't offer any advice or helpful insight. I just wanted to offer hugs, t&p and say I'm sorry you are going through this.

Aww honey im so sorry you are having to deal with this. Bleeding is scary but at least the baby is okay. Its possible that you have a low lying placenta or a SCH. ER doctors arent exactly good at making one feel comfortable with what is going on. Hopefully your OB will be able to give you some peace of mind tomorrow. Hugs and prayers

I had heavy bleeding and blood clots for about a day and a half at 7 weeks. I didnt have any cramps though. Luckily I was at my first OB appt when it happened and doctor said everything looked good. He thought I may have had a blood clot in my uterus. I think it was wacky hormones because it was around the time that I would've had my period and I read that this can occur. Anyway. I'm 9 weeks now, baby is doing fine so far. No more bleeding. Just try to have faith. Lots of women have bleeding. It sucks but this is the one thing we can't control. We live in a society that preaches the illusion of control but in times like these we are reminded that very little is really up to us. I'm sure your baby will be fine. Sending best wishes to you. I know how scary it can be.

Also the good heart rate is a great sign as far as I'm aware.

Sorry to hear your are going through this

Did they not give you any indication of what could have caused this? I know for my own situation, its from a subchorionic hematoma, but that did not cause very heavy bleeding or cramping. They are also able to view it on ultrasound, but I'm not sure if that's the case for everyone. There are a host of things that can cause bleeding early on and rarely is it something we can do anything about, unfortunately.

Good luck and praying that everything works out for you and the LO.

No they couldn't find a reason for the bleeding

Positive thoughts coming your way momma, I'm really sorry you're going through this. Try to get some rest - zone out to your favorite TV show for a while to get your mind off of it.

I started spotting at 7 weeks with stomach pain and cramps, then had one night of bright red blood and totally freaked out. It wasn't heavy so I didn't go to the ER but went to my ob first thing the next morning. Baby's heart rate was good and cervix was closed, thank God. My ob checked my progesterone levels which had dropped. I had also lost 5 lbs. in one week. She put me on 200mg progesterone per day. I've been taking progesterone each day for 5 days now, 100mg in the morning and 100mg at night... around the same time too since it's a hormone. My spotting started becoming lighter and lighter and today was the first day with no spotting! Maybe this will help you and hope your ob will help you determine the best approach.
Keep us posted!

I unfortunately know from experience it's the most terrifying thing to see (blood) when you're pregnant. With my MC, I had a SCH that I kept going in for bleeding and the stupid NP didn't see it, or even suggest that's what the bleeding may be from. When I went in for the NT scan, I told the tech I was bleeding and she found it right away. Just lie down, rest, don't lift anything heavy. I'm sorry you're going through this and it's so stressful. The only thing you can do is wait. Please keep us updated.

I have no useful insight, but I do hope that things work out well for you and will keep you in my t&ps. ((hugs))

subchorionic hematoma - essentially blood pooling by the placenta. If thats what you have, its not the end by any means.

Mommy2CB · July 2014

I'm so sorry you are going through this! Did the ER say what could be causing the bleeding? I would just try to focus on the fact that the baby looked great.. There's really nothing you can do til your appointment unfortunately. I hate waiting!
