I’m 9 weeks and bleeding

jennygirl5899 · September 2019

I noticed some vaginal bleeding when I had a bowel movement yesterday .pink spotting mixed with white discharge after not a lot. I was fine all day and then I had some mild cramping overnight . I woke up this morning and there was some brown pinkish blood .a decent amount when I first got up and then nothing all day . Cramps are mild and no sharp pains . No brite red blood . I have my 1st ultrasound I’m 2 days . Should I be worried ? Should I go to the ER ? Anyone experience this and not have a miscarriage

Call your doctor.

Please do not go to the ER for spotting during early pregnancy. The ER is not an OBGYN. You will tell them you have bleeding, they will do an ultrasound and even if they see a heartbeat they will diagnose you as "threatened miscarriage," because that is how they diagnose ALL questionable bleeding, and they will tell you to make an appointment with your OBGYN the next day. You will do nothing but incur unnecessary bills and use up resources that could have been used by people that truly need it if you go to the ER right now. Even if this is the beginning of a miscarriage, a trip to the ER will not stop it from happening.

First, call your OBGYN and ask to speak to a nurse. If you already have a scan in 2 days, they may tell you to wait and call if you have heavier bleeding. They might try to get you in today instead. It might all depend on whether you've had other losses previously. They will ABSOLUTELY tell you to not go to the ER unless you are very seriously bleeding - filling a pad in under 2 hours - or have unbearable cramping on one side, which could signal an ectopic pregnancy. Even if you have those things, if it is during office hours, they will tell you to come in there before going to the ER. Seriously do not go to the ER when you are pregnant unless your OBGYN specifically tells you to.

In response to your other questions, it could be a miscarriage or it could not be. Spotting in early pregnancy is not uncommon, especially if you have recently had sex. Your cervix is extra sensitive when you are pregnant. Unless you are experiencing a full, period-like flow, it is probably nothing to worry about. But please CALL YOUR DOCTOR and ask what they'd like you to do about it.

I agree do not go to the ER for that minimal of bleeding.

If it were me, I would probably wait until my appointment in 2 days and bring it up at that time. If you are truly worried call or message your doctor and see what they say. Which will probably be that spotting/bleeding can be normal and they will take a look at the ultrasound in 2 days.

Dont go to the ER, unless told to do so by your obgyn............. they may do an ultrasound but more than likely tell you to see your own doctor, and/or diagnose you with a an unknown and make your anxieties worse.

If you are not filling a pad, it's not bright red, you should be fine. If you strained on the BM, it's possible you irritated something. If you recently had sex you may have irritated your cervix.

If you are very concerned call you OB's nurses line and talk to them. They will give the best advice.

You may bleed after your ultrasound, if internal. Not uncommon.

Not sure why everyone is rushing to answer. OP isn’t going to respond and will just be back again next week with another question she should be asking her doctor.

Could this is related to your UTI? Did you end up taking the medication your doctor gave you?

Seems like you’re having a lot of problems, the largest one of all being that you never come back to thank anyone for giving you advice.

Oh laws.

But I'm still glad that this is available for someone else who searches this. I hate seeing how many people go to the ER and pretty much all they get out of it is a huge bill.

k_mama91 · September 2019

Damn this is the UTI girl? I told you to take your meds sister!!

harpseal135 · September 2019

@meggyme I guess I better start reading OP names. I normally dont read the screen names. Another post and run.

mercury94 · September 2019

Seriously? This can’t be for real. This is the fifth time. Are you going to read the responses this time? Because the answer to all of your questions is talk to your doctor and, specifically, ask about your anxiety issues. Your OB should be able to recommend a mental health provider.

Oh how I love being treated like Dr. Google.

@jennygirl5899 - This is your fourth or fifth flyby post on the First Tri board. My advice: take a chill pill, some deep breaths, and call your doctor if this is really, truly concerning you. And make a habit of returning to your posts to thank the members of the board who have taken time out of their days to write you sincere replies. This is getting ridiculous.

delujm0 · September 2019

I agree that this person is unlikely to ever return, especially because she's using the First Tri board so much and has yet to realize that BMBs exist, but any time someone asks if they should go to the ER while pregnant, i feel like i need to respond. Because that is a terrible idea unless the circumstances are particularly dire or it is directed by an OBGYN. And someone else could easily search for "bleeding" and get this thread.

Anyone who is actually serious about joining a community here would know enough to know that BMBs are A Thing and are the better place to ask these kind of questions, since the Tri boards are largely dead.

delujm0 Well, there are reasons to go to the ER with a threatened MC. I did for my 5th MC. But I already knew my previous beta numbers, I knew what the next beta draw number should be and where I should've been at. And when I walked in I told them I was there specifically for threatened MC and that I wanted a beta draw. Now, they were extremely incompetent in dealing with my situation, but the updated HCG number (which dropped 500 instead of almost doubling) let me know what I needed to know, and allowed me to be able to know what medications I should or should not be taking based upon my situation.

But yeah, OP is a hypochondriac with DD posts who has NO clue that this is a community...
