Hi, so I started lightly bleeding on Friday. Went to get checked, cervix closed and looked fine, they thi k it's coming from higher up? Heard heartbeat. It stayed the same yesterday, like a pink/brown discharge. This morning I woke up to fresh red bleeding and a small clot. Came back in, they found heartbeat again. Did checks, all looks the same just a lot more blood. They've admitted me to a ward to stay in overnight! I'm terrified to say the least. Never had any of this in previous pregnancies. They can't tell me how it's going to go either way. Has anyone else had anything like this? I'm 16 +5 today

I had bleeding from 4weeks all the way up to 20+ weeks with my pregnancy it was terrifying as I’d had a miscarriage a month before I got pregnant again. I was in and out of hospital around 50 times because of this I had clots and bright red blood lots of it sometimes each time they’d check my cervix and say that it’s fine etc. listen to baby and say baby was fine. I’m currently sat holding my little girl who is 3 weeks old tomorrow not all bleeding is a bad sign I hope that it clears up soon and that you get to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy because I found that I couldn’t enjoy my pregnancy because of all the worry. They didn’t find the cause of my bleeding but I had a polyp on my cervix which was also being irritated and caused some slight bleeding. keep us updated and make sure to take it easy and rest

Hi again, I just want to express my thanks for this post. It's truly what has helped me get through the past couple of weeks. Since my original post I've been back in hospital numerous times and I'm here again now thanks to a particularly heavy bleed with clots. Still, everything appears fine and they can't explain it. So looks like it's the same as you had. Because of your story I've managed to stay a lot calmer so just want to say thankyou and to all the other posts on here, just goes to show this can happen and things can still turn out fine!

@Pennyroses I’m so glad everything is okay and that I could help even just a little bit ! Sorry to hear you’ve been back in again it really is terrifying especially because it’s beyond your control. Congratulations on finding out you’re having a little girl. Take care and make sure to rest as much as you can, I know it’s hard but when she’s here it’ll be so worth everything you went through to get her I promise 😊 feel free to message me if you need anything 😊

Thankyou! It really is the worst all the worrying and the unknown. The bleeding has stopped again and they have me on antibiotics now as I've been leaking amniotic fluid unfortunately. They did a scan on Friday and the fluid is very low so I have an appointment with the fetal medicine doctor tomorrow to look at it more in depth. I'm just praying it's not the worst outcome 🤞thanks again x

What a beautiful name ♥️ So sorry for your loss xx

I’m so sorry for your loss of Aurelia 💐 and sending you strength to get through Friday x

TheShellBeach · 29/11/2023 11:28

Aurelia is a lovely name.

You'll be in my prayers on Friday.

Safxxx · 29/11/2023 11:30

Aurelia ❤️ what a beautiful name...you will always be her Mama ❤️ she will be awaiting for you in heaven 🙏🏻
I had my boy Adam at fullterm he lost his little heart beat few days before his due date 💔
I think the first year will always be the hardest...I had kept everything I had bought for him and only got to part with it a couple of months ago, before I couldn't bring myself to see it and go through it all ...but when I was ready it was easier....
Look after yourself and surround yourself with good supportive people... remember not everyone will understand your pain...and that's ok because they have not been through it....but as long they hold your hand during the difficult times it's enough.
Friday will no doubt be the toughest day for you...the lightest coffins are the heaviest 💔
I pray God gives you ease and comfort through it all 🙏🏻❤️

Thankyou for your lovely kind words, I can't even imagine what you went through losing your baby Adam at full term 💔 life can just be unbelievably cruel at times and I don't understand why 😢

I'm hoping Friday goes ok, I don't want to be a big sobbing mess, I want to be able to honor her properly. I'm going to get a ring with her ashes in in memory of her so I always have a piece of her with me ❤️ xx
