Bleeding again 21 weeks

[Mylasmummy2102]

Hey

So I've bleeding throughout my pregnancy on and off now I've gone to the toilet and wiped and there was a little blood clot I'm stressing and scared I don't have any pain and baby has kicked this morning but I'm really worried 😟

I have a low lying placenta so not sure if this is causing it? Should I ring the doctors?

Hey,

I also have a low lying placenta and I started bleeding a few days ago, I didn’t think much of it because I knew it was common with low lying placentas but I was advised to ring delivery suite they brought me straight through in an ambulance, checked to see where the bleeding was from , gave me an emergancy scan monitored the baby and gave me steroids they said because of having a low lying placenta it is very important to get checked out with any signs of bleeding they kept me in for 24 hours baby seemed to be ok and I haven’t bled since but deffonatley worth ringing and explaining just to get checked over and put your mind at ease!
Hope everything is ok xx

You should always give the doctor a call.

Ok I'll ring the doctors. I had a scan on Thursday and placenta has started moving slightly but still quite low she said she couldn't see any bleeding around the baby and baby was fine x

I had a low lying placenta and lots of bleeding. I ended up going into spontaneous labour and giving birth at 18 weeks. I would definitely recommend calling the maternity assessment unit and going in. It’s likely you’ll need bed rest - try not to pick up anything heavy etc. Good luck and let us know how you get on

Oh wow so sorry to hear that I will give them a call

Hi @Mylasmummy2102 I hope you’re ok?

The other reason I forgot to mention why I suggested you go in is because it can go horribly wrong with a low lying placenta- if you do go into labour at home or just keep bleeding the bleeding could escalate and you could lose a lot of blood.

When I was bleeding it was like a faucet had been turned on and I just couldn’t turn it off but I was in the best place possible- hospital and they had necessary arrangements (blood transfer etc) in place should I have needed it.

Hope things are ok with you and the baby.

Thankyou im on my way to hospital now so I'll keep you updated xx

After a very long 6 hour wait in maternity triage they have decided to keep me in because of the blood clots and baby heartbeat is a bit fast so being monitored over night xx

Glad to hear your being looked after

Glad you’re there. Try to rest (as much as that is possible) and hopefully the bleeding will stop soon. Keep us updated!

I'm out of hospital after 2 days they have said I have placenta previa and that bleeding is going to be an ongoing thing and every time I have red blood I need to go to the hospital I'm also being given extra scans to check babies growth and where the placenta is lying but currently on bed rest for a while x

Oh dear how worrying for you.
Good job they're keeping a closer eye on you though. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

Thank you x
