not sure what i expect anyone to say but none of my friends have kids and feel completely lost, yesterday was out with dh and ds i stood up and had a massive gush of blood that soaked my jeans half way down my thighs, was bright red, went to a&e but was bank hol sat so no one could scan and how waiting till tues to find out if there is a baby in there or not... same thing happened but less blood after about 2 hours in a&e, am completely up and down, no bleeding today was all brown blood coloured discharge, so thinking thats positive or am i just kidding myself??

just needed to write it down somewhere... it could go either way, didn't sleep much last night

I've had bleeding & had a scan that showed the placenta wasn't attached around the edges and folding over on itself - causing bleeding. Get the doc to check the placenta and how it is attached to the womb. Also in the placenta I have maternal blood lakes and this could cause more bleeding. Don't know all about this as I've not read up on it - but get them to check.

doc told me first bleed was due to maternal blood lake 'leak' because it was such a big bleed but this one is nothing like it - the placenta bit makes sense as I've had no clots or cramps - will get them to look at placenta tomorrow - thanks guys x
