Im 13w4d and have had an uneventful 1st trimester. I got pregnant via IVF so I've had loads of scans since 3.5weeks with my last scan being last week and looking normal.
Yesterday I had some pain, but it wasn't cramping and felt more like strong round ligament pain (I've had some intermittent RLP since 4 weeks). The pain lasted for hours though before eventually fading away. It wasn't bad enough to take Tylenol, just uncomfortable.
At 2:30am I went to flip over in bed and noticed I felt very wet, as if I had been sweating profusely. Turned on the light and the bed was soaked - red blood, but LOTS of fluid mixed with it (no tissue or clots). I felt like it would be similar to your water breaking. Although there was blood it didn't feel at all like it does when your period sneaks up on you in the night, it was more like water. The diameter of the spot on the bed was about 12inches so I was hysterical and thought I for sure had miscarried. Went to the bathroom and there was red blood when wiping.
I had two ultrasounds and a pelvic exam at the hospital and they couldn't find anything wrong. Cervix closed and baby wiggling around with a 152bpm heartbeat. No apparent issues with the placenta or amniotic fluid. I am reassured, but still bleeding and have no answers. I have an appt with my OB on Tuesday, but am curious if anyone has ever experienced this?! I'm still super nervous that it could indicate there is a problem that will escalate. This is my first pregnancy - no history of miscarriage.

I really did not feel reassured after my ER visit at my local hospital (which is not the hospital where I'm being managed, I just went to the closest one at the time) so after calling my OB he told me to go to Labor & Delivery at my managing hospital. Had another pelvic exam (much more thorough than the first one I had earlier) and ultrasound and everything looked still normal. They took some samples and slides to look for infection & anomalies, but all came back normal. The midwife and doctor told me that around 13 weeks is when the baby really starts to burrow and it may have ruptured some membranes by pushing too hard against me, which would account for the blood. Because the amniotic fluid looks good the consensus among 5 drs, nurses & midwives is that the baby also pressed on my bladder causing me to urinate in my sleep. So.....I'm 31 yrs old and apparently peed the bed
