question for those that bled early on

this might be a personal question, but i am trying to stay hopeful. im not bleeding red blood, its more of a dark brown, kinda looks like gravy (sorry way TMI), and its not a lot. I thought it was happening the same as last time, but now its been almost 4 hours, and it hasnt increased in flow.
Did this happen to anyone? Can anyone share a story to give me a little hope?
TIA...

Re: question for those that bled early on

Yes. It happened to me- alot. From week 4 until about 2 weeks ago (I am 12w today) We are fine, but on restriction & pelvic rest. 2 things happened with me. First, I had a cyst that ruptured (a cyst can form at implantation). Second there is a blood sac thing (there was a way better explanation of this in a post a few weeks ago) that sits behind your uterus. If you exert too much effort, or even not, it can rub & release some blood.

There are a ton of things that can cause bleeding throughout a pregnancy. I also had a nurse in the ER tell me that women over 30 are twice as likely to have unexplained bleeding during their pregnancies.

Re: question for those that bled early on

It happened to me as well. The doctor told me that as long as it stays brown, its perfectly normal.

Re: question for those that bled early on

Yes, I was put on bed rest for about 4 days. The blood turned bright red after about an hour and lasted about 3 days. Had a sono then and the baby was fine! So it could be ok.... Your're in my thoughts and prayers. Id get off my feet and lay down ASAP.

Re: question for those that bled early on

im just praying so hard that im ok. Im not up and walking around, i sit at a desk for the most part, so im going to stay at work. Im supposed to bartend tonight and i think im going to call in so i dont have to be on my feet for 8 hours. Its to early for them to see anything on a sono, right, if its still in there, im only 4 weeks 1 day.

Re: question for those that bled early on

I would definitely NOT bartend tonight. Too much running around & twisting.
Def rest as much as you can tonight & call the Dr to see what they say.

Re: question for those that bled early on

Happened to me too -- Dr. told me NO SEX and to take it easy. If it had lasted more than one day I would have gone on bed rest.

Dark blood is OK, usually!!

Do you have your feet up on the garbage can? I swear I will bring mine to you if it'll help.

Re: question for those that bled early on

I will keep my fingers crossed for you

Re: question for those that bled early on

I bled for most of my first trimester. I would fill a pantyliner with brown spotting everyday. They never figured out what caused it but I'm now 40+ weeks, so I guess it was normal for me.

I was put on modified bedrest and pelvic bedrest (no exercise, no housecleaning, no lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk, no s e x, stay off feet as much as possible, etc.)

I hope that's what you are experiencing!! You are in my prayers

Re: question for those that bled early on

Thank you so much ladies, i wouldnt have bee able to make it through the day without your support

Re: question for those that bled early on

I'm sure it'll be fine...as long as it isn't red...hang in there & take it easy!

Re: question for those that bled early on

Did you call your Dr. yet?

I would put my feet up and rest. Limit your walk.

Seriously!!!

Re: question for those that bled early on

I bled like this off and on until I was 12 weeks. My fingers are crossed for you.

Re: question for those that bled early on

I had that colored bleeding for about 3 months...at about 2 months I went to nyc and gushed bright red and had to go by ambulance to the hospital---I was like ok---emotionally disconnect--I figured I was losing the babies or one baby.
Long story short---it was ok,. they found 2 heartbeats...

that early on u do not see the placenta so therefor, u cannot diagnose low-lying placenta which I had..

I originally had three sacs and two heartbeats--one sac was either going to absorb or come out---this added to my bleeding...
#3---I had a blood sac next to one twin and that had to absorb or come out---so..........
I am sure all of these contributed..and in the end everytihng was ok.
I bled for a good three months and it was ok.
if...it goes red--stays red--is coming with cramping--it might be a diff story...
I would call the doc because they might want u on progesterone suppositories...
also....
I used to bartend--and I know---u should not be on your feet when u are bleeding for 8 hours--so i really hope u called in.
Please...take it easy--otherwise u will be on bedrest.
a bar is a hard place to be pregnant.

hugs to u..
I just wanted to share with u all that it can be and it can still be ok.

Re: question for those that bled early on

Re: question for those that bled early on

Re: question for those that bled early on
