**TW** Loss/Spotting/Bleeding support thread

edited December 2019 in August 2020 Moms
Edit: I edited to include loss or threatened loss support as well. 


I thought I’d go ahead and get this started although I hope it goes unused. I took the following blurb from July 2020: 

This thread is to support anyone experiencing spotting and/or bleeding.

All conversation surrounding these issues should go here. The TW in the title applies for the whole thread. Please beware of reading ahead if you think you might be triggered by conversations about spotting/bleeding. 

Finally, remember that most of us are not medical professionals, and even if we were, it's always best to call/visit your doctor with questions or concerns. Feel free to ask questions and voice concerns, but please do not expect anyone here to be able to offer you anything but support.  The most important thing to do is to call your doctor. They can offer answers; we can offer support

    @jspeed83 I am hoping it’s just from straining and irritation. You’ll be in my thoughts. Bleeding at any point in pregnancy is so scary. I hope you get into the doctor soon and get some good news.

    @jspeed83 fingers crossed for you. Spotting is so scary.
    TMI(?) 
     I have terrible IBS that likes to dance the lines between diarrhea and constipation,  and after every BM that isn’t normal I get some spotting.
    It’s definitely nerve wracking. I’ll be thinking of you at your doctors appt on Thursday. Hopefully everything will be ok and they will be able to put your mind at ease. ❤️

    @jspeed83 sending positive vibes your way. I spotted off and on for a couple days and it made me feel very anxious. Take care of yourself and try to take it easy. Good luck at your appointment on Thursday.

    I started spotting today. At first it was just a little brown and not anything to bat an eye at. Now it’s red and transferring to a panty liner. I’ve had a little bleeding before, but not quite to this extent. It’s never transferred before. I called my doctor and they ran a HCG, but that was before it was transferring to the liner.

    @duck_duck_goose Thinking of you and hope the spotting is short-lived. Any more reassurance/guidance from the doctor?

    @emiliadkay thank you. And no. They will call with the results and further action tomorrow, so it’s just a waiting game until then. The advice nurse didn’t seem too concerned. The logical part of me keeps telling myself to relax and wait for the doctor or nurse to be worried. The emotional part of me is a nervous wreck.

    I know how stressful this can be. My bff gave me this advice last night "Happy and relaxed mama is the best environment for your baby to grow". I know it is WAY easier said then done to simply not stress about spotting or bleeding in pregnancy, but what we do or don't do at this point has really no baring on our little ones thriving. Hoping for good news for you as well.

    @duck_duck_goose I am so sorry you’re spotting, that’s terrifying. I really hope it was a tiny SCH that released or some other benign reason for it. I’ll be thinking about you and sending positive thoughts until you’re in the clear.

    @jspeed83 thank you. I think your husband is on to something. I’ve had some bleeding before with my boys like I mentioned earlier, but that I could always attribute to something. I can’t attribute this to anything, which I think is what’s making me  nervous. 
    Thank you @tyrion_ and @annabanana051416. ❤️

    I had some pretty bad cramping today and when I went to the bathroom I passed a fairly large clot. I can’t get in to my OB until tomorrow morning but I’m fairly certain it will not be good.

    Had some cramping on and off over the last few days which I attributed to my uterus making space for baby. Just found that I’m spotting lightly and hoping it’s something normal and doesn’t progress. I called the doctor to see if anything could be done but they don’t typically return calls after 4 pm. I’m not supposed to see the doctor until 12/31 at 8 weeks which is standard practice where I live. Definitely freaking out a little bit since this is my first pregnancy.

    @Knottie1472053435 I would call in the morning to see if they can get you in for your peace of mind. It could be nothing but better to know.

    @feelingjovani luckily the nurse called me back before they closed and are fitting me in at 8 am. I’m definitely all for peace of mind especially with the holidays coming up. 🤞🏻

    Praying for you guys. This is my second, and had zero bleeding with my first...
    But I’m 8 weeks on Sunday, and I’ve been spotting brown since 5.5 weeks. And at 7 weeks exactly, I had an episode of bright red bleeding after sex. Scared me so bad, so I went to the ER but everything looked fine with baby and cervix. Red blood has stopped, now just light brown discharge every day. 😭 Hate this, so scary. (I also am struggling with constipation big time)

    @Knottie147205343 . Hope the doc has some insights and it's nothing serious 💖
    Also, if you change your screen name and pic it makes it easier to interact and recognize you.
