Bleeding

kbergmann23 · January 2016

I've been feeling a little off for the last couple hours thinking it was just an upset stomach, when I went into the bathroom I noticed that I was bleeding. Being a new mom I'm freaking out cause my boyfriend gave me a quick foot massage and grabbed my ankle putting pressure on that spot everyone says to stay away from. As soon as he did that I told him to stay away from that area but I'm starting to think the worst...should we go to the Dr or wait and see

Wait and see. If it's red, call your doctor in the morning to let them know. Unless you are filling one pad per hour, there is no need to go to the emergenc room. Put your feet up and rest. Hopefully it stops.

Bleeding can be normal and caused by a variety of different things. Hopefully this is normal and not worst case scenario.

There are a ton of reasons you might be bleeding and majority of them aren't miscarriage. If you are filling a pad an hr, or you have cramps either call your dr or go to the er.

I had bleeding last pregnancy and this pregnancy. Last pregnancy it was brown and only a small amount- more then spotting but not by much. I went to the er and had to wait until the next day to get an ultrasound however all was ok. There was no explanation, they just labelled it a 'threatened misscarriage'.

This pregnancy it was a lot scarier. I had had cramping the week before and went to the er and got an ultrasound- bean was ok but meausuring behind which I didn't think was possible because that meant I got a positive hpt at 3 days dpo. Then I had a fairly large amount of bleeding- I bleed through my jeans and it was bright red and brown. Again went to the er and all was ok. I ended up getting another ultrasounds and bean measured bang on where I thought it should. They couldn't explain it until I remembered DH and I had had sex the night before so he probably knocked my cervix causing it to bleed.

Try to stay calm- easier to say then do. I, personally, go to the er. I have no confidence in this pregnancy because last pregnancy my son ended up being stillborn due to other issues. My dr is at the hospital I go to for the er so I get both in one.

Most people will say wait but do what you have to do to calm yourself. I actually found googling helps with this one because it comes up with all the other reasons you could be bleeding.

Enough rambling from me. Good luck

If you're concerned, call your doctor.

I'd say call your doctor. I've been bleeding every weekend (it seriously needs to stop) and my doctor said to call, even if it's light spotting. Better to call and have peace of mind than to wait it out and panic, in my opinion!
