Do you bleed when placenta takes over

Does anyone know from experience, do you bleed when placenta takes over

No, I've never heard of this. I've had three babies and it didn't happen to me.

No, why would you?

I never had any bleeding during pregnancy. Lots of people do but I've never heard about the placenta thing. Give your midwife a ring, OP

No, you don't.

There’s loads of reasons you can bleed in pregnancy, some concerning and some not, but I absolutely don’t think bleeding when the placenta takes over is a thing - there’s no physical change that would cause bleeding happening.

What stage are you at, op?

Some pinky red colour just when I wiped, stopped now

9.4 weeks

It mightn't be anything to worry about, but do get it checked out.

I bled with my first at 12 weeks. Thought I was misscarrying. A doctor advised me the bleed might have been due to the placenta taking over. So, yes, it is a thing but I don't think it's common. My baby was fine.

I had a scan last week and she said everything looked good and could see a heartbeat

I had a bleed at 14 weeks. It was due to having a low lying placenta. The placenta moves up and as it moved there was a tear which caused the bleed. Bleeding in pregnancy is more common than I thought. When I saw blood I just presumed miscarriage, I'd never heard of the placenta causing bleeding but the doctor told me it is quite common.

I did actually. Around 9 weeks x

I had a small bleed, have been for a pravite scan and she said she couldn't see any reason why I bleed as everything looked fine, so maybe it was the placenta taking over
