my bleeding from earlier this pregnancy (I had posted on this thread a while back) ended up being caused by a SCH. I had some brown spotting, then a day or two of really scary bleeding (which is when they confirmed a SCH on an ultrasound), and then it slowly changed back into spotting... I was put on pelvic rest until everything calmed down, and I haven't noticed much for the past two weeks or so. I'm glad you were able to see your doctor and baby had a strong heartbeat! Sending good vibes your way
Thank you so much for the support ladies! I truly appreciate it!
@maelove My Dr seems most concerned it’s behind the placenta pushing on it and how big it is. I’m so glad yours resolved itself! Any kind of bleeding is scary!
@fitandnerdy Happy to hear you haven’t noticed anything for the last couple weeks! Fingers crossed that it’s gone!
@kimbo262 I'll be thinking of you. I haven't experienced it myself but have heard of it from other bump groups and it did slowly resolve on its own with the people I knew of. Take it easy and please update!
A little update- I had a more detailed ultrasound today and things look better! Baby is still bouncing away in there (although he seems like he doesn’t have a lot of space. You could see his little hand pushing on the placenta. 🤦🏻♀️) It looks like the bleed is smaller (I had more bleeding over the weekend, so my Dr believes that’s why it’s smaller). The bleed is still not in a great place, so I’m still on bed rest for the next week and then a week of very light activity until I see my Dr again.
@kimbo262 All good signs! Hoping that pesky sch continues to shrink at a rapid rate! So glad you got to see baby bouncing away. And don’t worry about baby being cramped - by 40 weeks these little guys are absolutely crammed and smushed in there
@AuntieCre5 I'm sorry you're concerned about spotting. We have a dedicated thread here for all that, apart from ordinary symptoms.
I had spotting with my first up through about 10 weeks, but that was my only previous successful pregnancy, so I don't have a lot of experience beyond that.
Please call your care team if you are having spotting, cramping, pain, or other symptoms you find concerning. No one on the internet can tell you for sure what's going on in your case. (((Hugs))) fx everything is okay with you and baby. ❤️
Sorry I've been MIA, but I had some spotting last week that lasted a few days. I wasn't able to get an appointment until Tuesday this week. Thankfully at my appointment they said everything looked fine.
I get very concerned with any spotting because back in December I had a lot of bleeding and major cramping. I was convinced that I was going to lose this pregnancy.
I'm very grateful that she seems to be doing well. I have an appointment next week with perinatology to really look at how both the baby and I are doing.
I hate to bring this thread back up again but I had some bleeding over the weekend. After calling in to the OB emergency line, I went in to the ER to get checked out. Thankfully, everything was okay with baby but we found out that I have placenta previa with an anterior succenturiate lobe. Meaning I have blood vessels crossing over my cervix (not my picture but gives a fairly good example of what it's like). So it's something we'll have to keep an eye on. There's a chance it could correct itself but it's not super likely because of the fact that there are two separate lobes. If it doesn't correct itself (and move away from my cervix) I have to have a C-section which we're planning on anyway.

@marfi1236 That had to be so scary, but I so glad to hear that everything is okay with the baby. Thank you for the information, also. The picture is helpful in understanding.
@marfi236 Oh, my goodness! I'm relieved that you were planning on a cesarean anyway and that the news of it being a possibility wasn't disappointing. Glad everything is okay with both you and baby!
@marfi236 Wow, my heart leaps into my throat every time I see new posts on this thread. But I’m so happy that everything is ok with your baby! That must have been so scary. I’m glad they were able to give you such a detailed reason for the bleeding and I hope that this doesn’t cause you too much stress over the rest of your pregnancy! I’m sorry that this issue will dictate the kind of birth you’ll have, but also relieved to hear you were planning on a section anyway so weren’t overly devastated by that news. Take care of yourself and try to get some rest!
About 2.5 weeks ago I was having active bleeding. I went into labor and delivery and everything checked out.
Last night I started having bright red spotting. Not as much as last time but definitely new bleeding. Checked in with the hospital and they said to monitor. I checked with my ob this morning and they sent me in since I was still spotting. Everything checked out. No contractions. No dilation. But I have an irritable uterus.
Anyone else have any bleeding/spotting more than once through pregnancy?
I lost my mucus plug at 25 weeks with my first and had threatened preterm labor and she still stayed till 40 weeks so holding onto that for now.

@sarah0985 I don’t have any advice or wisdom to impart but I’m sorry for the scare. Hope this is the last bleed of the remainder of your (long and full term) pregnancy.
@sarah0985 I have not had bleeding past the first tri, but I've had an irritable uterus in my other 2 live birth pregnancies, and this one as well. I've had threatened preterm labor with both, my first I actually went into preterm labor. Maybe upping your water intake could help? I know my Dr wants me drinking over 100 oz a day to try and keep things as even as possible. He said if I could shoot for 200 oz he would be happy.
@wildrainbow thanks for that. I’m definitely Up over 100 oz of fluid a day for sure. I have 24 oz water bottles and I aim for 3-4 plus I drink body armour (sorta like a gator aid but less sugar I think) and usually 2 glasses of milk. I’ll aim for 200 too. It just seems this pregnancy I dehydrated SO fast! Faster than my first for sure. Just a 2 hour nap has my urine dark yellow again.

@businesswife 🤣🤣🤣 H is home and that’s the only reason. Either that or I nap when my daughter naps. Plus the heart issue makes it so I’m so tired that I’m sleeping whether he helps or not. Put on some Sesame Street or Daniel tiger for her and nap for me

@sarah0985 The B vitamins in prenatals can contribute to your urine
being very yellow. I often notice it a few hours after I’ve had my prenatals. Or
it could be dehydration.
I'm sorry to hear you've had more bleeding, lets hope that will be the last of it.
