Need of Support *Trigger possible*

Hello Everyone,
Joined a few days ago and was waiting for the 72 hour period to be up.
Anyway,
On Monday while at work I felt what my OB described as "opening the gates of hades" blood loss. Naturally I panicked and called my OB and he had me come right in. It took him 45 minutes to finally come in my room and by then the heavy bleeding had stopped. He found the heart beat at a steady 162, My cervix was closed and my BP was perfect. He saw no reason to do an ultrasound as we had picked up the heart beat and I had just had an ultrasound on that passed Friday. He scheduled no follow up because I already had an appointment scheduled in 2 weeks.
I bled mildly until yesterday when it turned brown and only when I wipe from using the bathroom. Today it has completely stopped.
My anxiety had me at wits end so I ordered a doppler but, it wont be here til at least Thursday.
Still nauseous and hungry all the time. My tummy is still plumped up. Never passed clots or any tissue and never had pain. As of yesterday im 12 weeks.
My anxiety is still high.
Any mommas with previous bleeding experience and everything be okay?

I bled off and on a lot my first trimester and even had a huge bleeding episode when I was 14 weeks along (last year on Valentine's Day) and then again after every cervical check after 36 weeks pg. My little girl will be 28 weeks on Monday. That being said, everyone is different. It sounds like your LO is doing just fine. I hope it stays that way<3

I bet some more ladies will chip in like @micshi who've had similar experiences. Hugs, lovely lady.
Don't let the home Doppler drive you crazy. I also purchased one because my anxiety was driving me crazy. I was able to find the heart beat right away because I've had so many emergency appointments that I knew where to find it. But I've had friends who had to try over the course of a few days because it was either too early or they just weren't sure where to locate the heartbeat. You'll find it, it just takes time!
At my 12 week appt on Tues the SCH wasstill showing up on U/S, but my doctor wasn't very concerned about it. He assured me it would eventually resolve. I'm just on activity restriction - no sex, no heavy lifting or exercise, etc. Kinda disappointing (that it was still there), but it feels good to know the baby is still doing OK and the OB isn't very concerned.
Hoping this resolves quickly for you! Hang in there.
