Hey,
First of all I am currently in Day Assessment Unit. I am 33+5 and last night after I got out of the bath dried myself off with a towel and noticed some white mucus and then bright red blood on the towel and smeared round my thighs. I called triage and as it had stopped I had to sit with a sanitary towel on and monitor for an hour. After the hour they wanted me to go to Day Assessment Unit to be checked by the doctor. Got there around 11.30pm and went to the toilet to find a big clot in my pad (which the nurses took) and my urine sample was red with blood. I was put on a CTG and baby was fine. Around 12/12.30 I had some period like pains. Saw the doctor at around 1am who examined me with a spectrum and said there was still dark red blood and wanted the senior consultant to see me who did and he said my cervix is closed but apparently the CTG showed some tightenings and with the period pain they kept me in overnight in case labour was imminent. Well she's still cooking! The bleeding has stopped pad/toilet wise but I'm still waiting to be checked again. The pain has eased pretty much although baby has been engaged for the last couple of weeks and keeps making me have sharp pains in my cervix. The consultant did say the bleeding could be a sign of preterm labour which could start in a few days. This is my second pregnancy, was IVF and I also lost my baby's twin at 9 weeks. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced bleeding this far on and what it meant for them?
