*TW* Spotting/Bleeding/Threatened Loss Support

edited April 2021 in December 2021 Moms

I have seen some other BMBs include this type of support thread, so I thought I would add it here for us too.


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


Conversations surrounding these issues can be discussed here freely. 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.

  • @scaredunprepared thinking of you! Please let us know what happens❤

    I have been bleeding and now spotting since conception. Trying to stay optimistic🙂 My first U/S isn't until May 5th. Hope they can at least tell me whats going on in there. Waiting sucks😝
  • @scaredunprepared thinking of you and hoping all is well. 

    @ottergirl81 that is a long wait for your first ultrasound! I’m sorry they can’t get you in sooner. Spotting can definitely be completely normal so hang in there!
  • Thank you all for the support.  Waiting until wednesday is going to be a LONG wait for me.  My OB didn't seem concerned (hence why my appointment wasn't moved up), so I'm trying to relax a bit, but easier said than done.  Just trying to keep busy. 

    @ottergirl81 sorry you've been spotting too.  Hoping for both of us it's just our bodies doing weird things and that babes are healthy. I can barely wait until wednesday next week, may 5 seems like an eternity away!
  • @scaredunprepared FX’d for you!! Hoping your U/S goes well and that the bleeding slows or stops 💜 

    I had some spotting yesterday and the day before so I’m going in for follow up BW either today or tomorrow (now that my Covid test is negative and my cough is no longer obnoxious).

  • @blueowl08 I got my positive at only something like 2 weeks along, so waiting a few weeks really does feel like an eternity to find anything out.

    @scaredunprepared sure hope Wednesday gets here quick for you and your get some good news. Try to have a good weekend😊
  • Hi everyone, currently going through a threatened miscarriage and the negative pregnancy test this morning tells me my results I’m getting today won’t be what I want to hear. Wishing you all a happy and healthy with beautiful sticky babies ❤️

  • @gembud So sorry to hear that. Thinking of you.
  • @gembud I am so very sorry.  Hoping you can heal and find peace with this.  Sending hugs.
  • I haven't updated yet, even though my appointment was yesterday, because it did not go exactly as I hoped.  I did not get the reassurance i needed.  The NP wasn't able to find a heartbeat, but was quick to tell me that their equipment is ancient and not the best, so they sometimes have this issue.   She said everything else looked great, though.  My anxiety is through the roof.  I am scheduled for an ultrasound tomorrow at 3:30 (the earliest they had).  Waiting this long for an OB appointment just to be told they can't find a heartbeat, and waiting an additional 2 days to know what is actually going on is really stressful. 
  • @scaredunprepared - I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow, the waiting really is the pits. Sending love ❤️ 
  • @scaredunprepared oh my, that’s awful you had to wait and then still not get any answers. Fx for your appointment today  <3

  • @scaredunprepared- I’m so sorry for the limbo. It’s torture. And so unacceptable to have such old equipment. I mean come on!

    @scaredunprepared thinking about you! 
  • rgn12rgn12 member
    @scaredunprepared I am so happy that they were able to detect a heartbeat! I hope that you get good news at your next appt/us regarding growth/measurements. Thinking about you ❤️
  • bkjadebkjade member
    @scaredunprepared yay for some good news! I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and hope for some more good news at the next update  <3
  • @gembud I'm so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you. 

    @scaredunprepared - That's an awesome heartbeat! Maybe you implanted a little late along with ovulating a little late? I understand protecting yourself. I would likely do the same. Praying your next u/s shows perfect growth and you'll go on to have an uneventful, healthy pregnancy.

  • Welp, I started bleeding today. It’s bright red. I already have my u/s scheduled for Monday, so I’m just going to wait and see what they say. 
  • @eggsbene42 I am thinking of you.  I know the fear and the weight of it.  And the waiting sucks.   Im sorry you're going through this. 
  • @scaredunprepared I'm so happy to hear your good news and heartbeat 💓. I think its also normal to distance yourself but I also think measuring a week behind is okay especially since you think you ovulated late. I know exactly when I ovulated and when my LMP was and I was measuring a week ahead. I don't think there is an exact science and it's just mother nature. Praying your next U/S goes well. 
  • @scaredunprepared I’m so glad you received good news. I too agree with @cait32, there’s also a level of human error involved with scans. Even a millimeter difference can throw the dates off by several days. Hopefully you get reassurance at the next scan! 
  • @eggsbene42 I hope you are taking good care of yourself this weekend. FX for Monday. <3

    @eggsbene42 fingers crossed for you for Monday. Thinking about you ❤️
