Hello all,
I am a first time mum in my third trimester. Last week I had constant, but not heavy, brown bleeding with very, very slight red tinges. I was in and out of hospital for checkups and was off work - no evidence of preterm labour, infections, or irritation. It all cleared up on the Friday 7days later), but after more activity on the weekend it came back Sunday afternoon. After total rest, it has now gone again over night.
I am making this thread to ask for people's experiences with this? I had a low lying placenta at my 20 week scan, and I won't know if it has moved until my next scan. Does this tend to happen with low lying placenta? I also get period like cramps (not that painful, just noticeable) along with them, but they go when bleeding goes.
I have absolutely no idea how cautious I should be with this regards work. My job is very full on, relentless, with no opportunity to take breaks or rest when I need to. It initially started after a hard, but usual, work day. However on the other hand getting signed off based on a 'just in case' feels wrong (midwife said sign off until scan to be safe). For all I know my placenta might have moved already!
Tldr; brown bleeding on and off with activity, third trimester, possible low lying placenta (could have moved by now), looking for people's experiences with this.
