Worried about pre-term labour!

[Jade1979]

I know it's early (i'm 31 weeks), but for the last week i have really strong (painful) bh and on sat i noticed blood when i wiped after a wee but not snotty and a bit more after doing bd with dh that afternoon called mw she said as long as there was no more blood after that i shouldn't worry, does anyone else have experiance with this, or any advise they can give. Thankyou. xxx

i had a bleed and i am 36 weeks. they told me it could be cervical erosion and as long as it wasnt clots then not to worry.
its easy for them to say tho coz as soon as you see blood when pregnant u panic. if you are still worried about it ask them to moniter baby and give u an internal examination

hth

Thanks bubble, will they internal me at this early stage, i have had a couple of medical problems like vsd (since birth) so monitor my heart every so often and i also suffer spd (not nice walking first born to school), i do want this baby but not this early as i know there would be problems.

if you are bleeding they would. i bled at around 25 weeks too and was examined internally. they couldnt see any reason for it so scanned me to make sure baby and placenta was ok. which it was. then more bleeding yesterday after intercourse which they also said was due to cervical erosion

try not to worry too much. lets hope it is just you over doin things and causing the blood vessels around your cervix to erode (apparently its very common).

def best to get things checked out properly tho because even tho it was minor in my case it doesnt mean the same for everyone else.

hope they put ur mind at ease soon xxx

Well had hospital appointment today, they did the usual growth scan (baby ok) they checked out my cervix for erosion to see if thats where the bleeding was coming from and it's not that they said it could be due to normal discharge but i didn't think you bleed discharge but they know better i suppose, i have another appointment in 3 weeks to see MW and one 2 weeks after that with the hopital for another scan, still worried but not as much. Just wish i had a bit more info my first DD was no probs in pregnancy so this is all new to me. xxx

Hi my little one was born at 33weeks there was no bleeding or anything. My waters just broke. Little one was kicking me like mad. My ds is 2 and fine. Im also a neonatal nurse which is typical. Try not to worry minimal bleeding can be common. Try and take it easy but if these things are going to happen they just do. We cant do anything about it. At 31 weeks now its not seen as a big worry obviously the longer you go the better.

Just look after yourself and rest as much as you can.

Good luck you'll probably find you'll go over your due date.

lol d

thankyou for reasurance i was worried because of all strong bh i was getting, my dd was born 39+6 but had no problems with her pregnancy this time it's a nightmare just can't wait for ds to be here but i worry about complications with (this may sound cruel) disability, i work as a family support worker (disabled and dying children) and i see the stress and worry families go through and don't know whether i could cope with that myself but your right it will happen when it happens, just have to wait and see xxx
