More bleeding 😢 16 weeks pregnant with twins

[Bobbieiris]

I posted on here a while ago after bleeding at 8 weeks pregnant, went to hospital, had a scan and all was fine, it was a haematoma and found out I was having twins. Had another bleed a couple of weeks later after having a little fall at home, again had a scan and all was fine.
yesterday after having a wee I wiped and saw red blood on the tissue, I panicked straight away as seemed fresher blood than what I remembered from the first 2 bleeds. After that one time it pretty much went apart from very small amount of dark red / brown spotting; no cramp. Went to hospital last night; doctor did examination and said cervix is closed and bloods fine so not to worry as had similar spotting before. I asked for a scan but since I’m booked in for one at twin clinic this Wednesday she said I should just go home and wait for that and to call if things got worse.
i feel so upset, it’s been so hard getting through today and waiting until Wednesday is torture. I’ve had no blood since but still so scared. My boyfriend is putting on a brave face but his optimism is just heartbreaking and I can’t stop crying and thinking the worst as worried that the blood looked so fresh, although a small amount.
Has anyone had anything similar? I know worrying doesn’t help but I just feel so upset and broken 😢

I had fresh, red bleeding on and off throughout my pregnancy, starting at 8 weeks untill I was into the third trimester. Baby boy was totally fine in all scans and was delivered healthy at 38w. Unfortunately some women are bleeders, it's more common than you think. Can be caused by irritation to your cervix or the haematoma again. I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry xx

I did have this with my twins, a few whooshes of blood and then what seemed like weeks of brown spotting. Happened a few times.

It was one thing after another actually up till about 24 weeks, then smooth sailing really.

Honestly I was just really relieved when they were born. Nearly 17 now

I had heavy fresh red bleeding at 20 weeks. On arriving at the hospital I was convinced I was having a miscarriage.

Baby was fine and it was caused by cervical ectophy ( was coming from cervix not baby). They didn't scan me but babies heart beat was fine etc. Shes 4 now. Good luck Op x

I had a bleed with my daughter.
my doctor said it was very common.
Best wishes OP.

Thank you everyone ❤️ it’s the colour that’s scared me! And having to wait is so tough. I didn’t feel so bad the second time because it was a brownish blood but fresh feels so much scarier. Also my boyfriend can’t make the appointment on Wednesday as he has to work so I’m so scared it’ll be bad news . Thank you so much for your posts xx

Hi Op , I am sorry that you are going through it . It is a worrying time with a twin pregnancy especially . I haven't had anything similar but just wanted to wish you the best of luck .

Are you able to rest but keep your mind busy with distractions? . If you look in the telly addicts sections there are always good recommendations for box sets etc . Take care of yourself .

Me! Fresh red blood frequently from conception to about 25-28 weeks. My record was 6 triage visits in one week. I had placenta previa and rhesus negative blood so I had to go every time and have anti-D in case it was the source. They never scanned me, just listened for heartbeat on doppler.

Eventually worked out pregnancy gave me asymptomatic chronic thrush. Couldn't shift it. Likely irritated my cervix causing the bleeds. My baby was born over 9lb and is currently a 20 week old sleeping in my arms.

My friend had bleed like this through out her first pregnancy. That baby is now a huge grumpy teenager.

I had fresh bleeding up until 28 weeks with DD. I had a little emotional moment the other day as I walked through the shopping centre where I had the scariest of bleeds with her. She’s 14 years old now with all the trimmings. But God, nothing was as harrowing as those bleeds. My cervix was just very sensitive and irritated, it was concluded. But even then, nobody was really sure.
DD nearly arrived at 24 weeks but she made it to term… on my birthday. 😊 I was advised to try and take it easy and to avoid penetrative sex. I bled with DC3 as well! I really feel for you, OP. It’s a terrible worry. But it’s not uncommon to bleed in pregnancy. ❤️💝

@Icanseethebeach @FlyingHighFlyingLow and @SerenityNowInsanityLater thank you for your posts, really good to hear things worked out for you ❤️ and thank you @imfae for your kind post.
i just feel so guilty because I feel like I’ve done something wrong. I had done the hoovering that day and some light cleaning and thought I’ll mop the floor. I even considered leaving it and asking my boyfriend to do it the next day but the floors were filthy. Picked up bucket of water and it was light so carried up stairs, did bathroom then downstairs again, did kitchen, sat down for an hour, went to bathroom and saw the blood 😢 I feel like if I haven’t have don’t those floors it wouldn’t have happened and everything would be fine! I feel awful and I’ve hardly slept

I had a subchronic haematoma during this pregnancy, I'm currently 36 weeks.

I bleed from weeks 7/8 until about 18/19 weeks.

I would go between bleeding brown and bright red blood to brown again and back to bright red and on three occasions I bled so heavily it was soaked through my trousers and I had huge clots, I lost so much blood and honestly had no idea you could bleed like that and a baby actually have a heart beat.

It was really horrible and caused me a lot of anxiety but it did eventually stop.

I hope everything will be okay at your scan.

I bled during both my pregnancies. Definitely remember a big gush one time when I was at work and red blood on numerous occasions.

Made me feel quite anxious but both pregnancies were fine. I think it was hormonal and/or cervical abrasions from memory.

I did the same, hoovered and bled, felt awful. But later on I had a day where I ran around like a nutter doing loads, no bleed. 2 weeks later I had a couple days off. First day sofa day. Second day I had a short slow local walk, watched some TV, went for a nap, woke up to biggest bleed I had.

I went in for my twin clinic appointment this morning and both babies are fine! ❤️ such a huge relief!!! I really was expecting the worst! Turns out the placenta is just a bit low but apparently nothing to worry about. Thank you so much for all your messages and kind words xxxx

Fantastic news. Best wishes xxxx

Really great news.
Do make sure you rest as much as possible from now on, carrying twins is really hard work.

Brillant news ! Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy .

lovely news.
take it easy and enjoy!!💐

Hi ladies
I'm sorry to jump onto this post, but I'm having a similar situation. 4 previous miscarriages, pregnant with twins (7+6), separate sacs with a large subchorionic hematoma on each. Had a red bleed 2 weeks ago that died off quite quickly and I've had another red bleed last night but felt bigger and still heavy today but now dark brown and resembles coffee granules.
I'm carrying a lot of anxiety and this thread has helped me see it can be OK, but I'm still worried as we've had so many losses (all IVF, can't conceive naturally).
Has anyone experienced the coffee granule texture and gone on to be OK? Am waiting for the EPU to call back to see if we can have a scan.
Thank you, sorry for waffling on, think I'm just trying to release some of the anxiety with people that get it! Xx

Hi Violet.
I can’t answer your question as I don’t know the answer but I just wanted you to know, as you haven’t had a response yet, that I hope all is well with you and things work out well this time.

xx

Hi @Kandalama
Thanks for responding, unfortunately we lost one of the twins 😔 the other was doing well at a scan yesterday but I'm still bleeding quite a bit. We're not sure what's going to happen so just taking it day by day!

@VioletCookie Im so so sorry you're going through this. We sadly lost our son's twin at 8/9 weeks. He thrived throughout and is now a healthy 4yo so don't lose hope. But I'm so sorry about the loss of your other twin. It's really hard to grieve and be grateful at the same time.

Not rtft but I had bleeding in both my pregnancies- haematoma in both. Between 6-20 weeks. Now have 2 young men! Wishing you all the best.

@VioletCookie so sorry for your loss.

That’s so very sad and I have lit a candle in the window for both your little ones.
Burning bright
Put your feet up and as you say take each day as it comes but do try to get loads of rest.
Thinking of you x
