Freaking out!

Guys I just noticed bleeding when I went to the bathroom. I'm trying not to freak out but I'm not sure what to do?!?

@violetmarie61516 how much? what color? spotting is normal in first trimester. keep an eye on it and see if it gradually decreases.

Call your doc. They should have a on call doc that will tell you what to do.

Have you had an ultrasound yet? I would call your doctor and see what they want you to do. Mine always had me come in right away for an ultrasound. Bleeding can be normal in the first trimester or it can unfortunately be a sign of something wrong. Wishing all the best!

If it’s just a little (like spotting, no need for sanitary products) and light pink/brown, just keep an eye on it for now. A little spotting (esp after sex, etc) can be normal. Your cervix is easily irritated right now. Call your provider in the am to report it if it’s still going then. If it picks up in intensity tonight (needing a pad) or is/becomes bright red, call your provider ASAP. My provider told me to call immediately if I had any bright red bleeding.

FX it’s just a little spotting and nothing more concerning!

Just talked to the triage nurse at l&d. She said to call back in an hour if it increases. Well she just called again and I need to go in within 72 hours no matter what for rhogam now. It's definitely red but not bright red. It's enough for me to put a liner on just in case. I'm drinking water and laying down right now.

@violetmarie61516- glad you talked to the triage nurse! Take it easy and keep us posted. Creepy stranger internet hugs.

Following for update. Fx everything's okay

I had spotting around now with my last pregnancy.

violetmarie61516 · August 2018

The bleeding stopped by this morning. I've been chugging water and trying not to lift my DD as much. I'm currently sitting at the Dr waiting for rhogam. I'll be begging to check for a hb.

catlady2015 · August 2018

@violetmarie61516 - my love it is a big hug. Hope you get the reassurance of a hb check!

@violetmarie61516 sending all the positive vibes your way!

laur84ns · August 2018

Sending you lots of positive vibes! I really hope they check on baby for you. I had a similar scare exactly a week ago - bright pink (with a tiny clot or two of red) spotting last Tuesday. Went into urgent care on Wednesday and an ultrasound showed baby is totally fine! Hoping you get the same result. My dr told me spotting is 'normal' in 30% of pregnant women (and I did have spotting throughout my first tri with my DD)

Hope all went well. Bleeding can be so scary. Keep us updated.

Hey ladies. Sorry for the delay and thank you for all you kind T&Ps. I had an us which showed a Subchorionic hemorrhage or SCH. Dr said it does increase a risk of mc but typically they resolve on their own and most carry to term with no issues. She said this is the most likely cause of the bleeding I had last night. I'm resting a lot more and trying not to lift my daughter too much.

US also showed our little peanut (Dr calls it) perfect at 7w1d with a perfect HR of 158! The nurse, Dr and I all cheered and I feel SO much better. My anxiety was really starting to get the best of me. For now I'm putting myself on pelvic rest until I know the SCH risk has decreased.

JLaVO888 · August 2018

Glad to hear it was positive news and you got to enjoy seeing baby! Rest up.

catlady2015 · August 2018

@violetmarie61516 - so glad there’s a known issue causing the bleeding, and that everything looks good. Take it easy and I hope it resolves soon!

teachermama4 · August 2018

@violetmarie61516 I have a sch as well. I started spotting at 7 weeks and I was put on bedrest for a few days and I was told to take it easy. My bleeding stopped pretty quick. The sch shrank after a few weeks. I started spotting again at 10 weeks but this time it was brown, which they said is good because it is old blood. My sch has now grown a little bit. It is scary! I have been monitored closely with almost weekly ultrasounds. I did IVF so they also increased my progesterone meds. You might want to ask about progesterone meds. They help! I'm constantly scared to go the bathroom. Take it easy and drink a lot of water. My baby girl has been measuring beautifully with a strong heartbeat so that makes me feel better. Your baby is a fighter too! If you have any questions I am here for you.

violetmarie61516 · August 2018

@teachermama4 thanks so much. I'm resting as much as I can and drinking a ton of water. No more bleeding but I don't have another appointment until Sept 4th so it's going to be a long three weeks.

@violetmarie61516 @teachermama4 just got diagnosed with this today after some awful red bleeding. I’m 11 1/2 weeks and feared the worse. I was crying all the way to the ultrasound room at the hospital. BUT heard nugget’s heartbeat and measuring correctly to the day. I called my OB after visiting the ER and he said that it typically only increases MC risk by 1-2%. Prayers for all of us with this!

@tfraz2016 I'm glad everything is ok! It's so scary!

tfraz2016 · August 2018

@violetmarie61516 thanks! It definitely is!

teachermama4 · August 2018

@tfraz2016 Having an sch is very scary! I'm glad everything looks good. It's just a waiting game until it goes away. I started spotting again with mine. I go back in Thursday. I'm constantly worried about it.

tfraz2016 · August 2018

@teachermama4 Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! My next follow-up is August 28. Longest 2 weeks ever!

Freaking out!
