  I'm a lurker and never intro'd - just want to hopefully calm your nerves a bit. 

   

  I am due October 10th and have had spotting/bleeding throughout the second trimester.  I never had any first trimester bleeding - it started around week 21.  I have gone to labor & delivery on 4 separate occasions to be checked out(most recently yesterday!) and each time my little girl looks perfect.  While spotting this late in pregnancy isn't typical,  it can be normal for many women. 

  As long as your cervix isn't shortening, there is no infection, your fluid levels are normal and any placenta problems are ruled out (abruption, previa etc.), you more than likely have a friable cervix like me.  The bleeding has caused me a lot of anxiety, but I've learned to be my best advocate and ask questions.  Don't worry about what your doctor thinks.  Ask him/her to be specific about the nature of the bleeding.  Ask them to swab you for amniotic fluid, to test your urine for infection and to give you an ultrasound of your cervix etc. 

   

  I wish you the best of luck.  I am sure everything will turn out just fine!

  They are admitting me overnight. Hoping to be out tomorrow but may be here for the long haul. If the marginal previa continues i may be stuck here. I have to say that i hate hospitals.

  I'm so sorry you're stuck in the hospital... that sucks. I hate hospitals too. Fingers crossed it's a short stay and you can go rest safely at home soon!

  I'm sorry you have to stay at the hospital but glad they're watching out for you and your baby. I'll say a prayer for you!

  That is the good news. Everything with the baby looks normal and great. Measuring ahead of schedule (weighs 2lb 8oz and the readings looks ahead of 27 weeks), normal fluid levels and cervix normal. 

  
  

  They are keeping me because I have a marginal placenta previa that caused the bleed. At this point the bleeding has completely stopped and we think they are just being super cautious because of our last pregnancy ending so badly.

  Good luck with the hospital stay
  Bed rest at the hospital is not as much fun as being at home. Take one day at a time. Keep busy with baby stuff.

  So sorry to hear you're going through this and I hope your hospital stay is as short as possible.  Sounds like both our placentas need to get their act together stat! If we both end up on bedrest, a bookclub or series binge watching club may be in order!
