26 weeks pregnant and decided to have some foreplay this morning with my partner. We then realised once finished that he had blood on his hand from me. I wiped it away did some googling and realised it can be very normal. 2 hours later I realised there was blood in the toilet bowl and had a bit of back ache so called the midwife line and got sent in for checks. They checked me over said everything seemed normal and By that point there Was only a slight brown tinge when I wiped so I was told I wouldn't need to stay for 24 hours as no longer bleeding. I wiped again this evening and there is still a brown tinge slightly darker than earlier. I’m due to go to Wembley tomorrow for a concert and stay the night. I told the midwife and doctor that I was going and they didn’t seem bothered but said to come back in if I get any pain or bleeding continues. I’m concerned I’m still having brown discharge baby is moving fine has been all day. Would you still go to the concert hotel is 4 minutes walk away from venue we have seats and been told we can use the disability cue if needed to get in so won’t have to cue. I’ve also googled the nearest hospital and partner could come and get me if needed only live 1.5 hours away

If this happened to me I'd rest at home.

If you had a bigger bleed wouldn't you want to be close to your own hospital?

And weren't you told to rest?

Rest in bed don't take the risk x

I’d stay at home too personally. But I am sure others would go. What is your gut instinct?

Are you going to Taylor Swift?

No I was told everything was fine and that I could leave the hospital it wasn’t a huge amount of blood but enough to concern me. I think I’m going to see how I feel tomorrow after a nights sleep and hopefully there will be no more discharge. Baby is definitely more important than any concert. Doctors told me to enjoy the concert when I left.

Personally no, I wouldn’t.

If you tell the venue you are pregnant, you’ll be well looked after, seated and by the loo. All depends how you feel.

Medical staff have said it’s ok, so if you’d like to then go. Nobody on mn has examined you, or monitored your baby. I’d see how you feel personally.

I would go! You've got contingencies in place, yes you've got brown discharge but that's old blood so dosent mean anything, and been advised by a doctor to enjoy yourself! Obviously if anything changed or it was bright red blood you could reconsider but chances are you will be fine. Enjoy yourself OP 💗✨

This.

It happened to me several times during pregnancy. Each time there was a rush to the doctor (and in one case, the hospital) and a major panic. Each time, I was reassured and told the baby was fine and to carry on as normal. I specifically asked about bed rest and was told that it wasn’t necessary in my case. The baby is now a wonderful toddler.

Follow your doctor’s advice.

I would say if something bad is going to happen it'll happen whether you are at a concert or not so you may aswell go and enjoy it. If you do have issues there are medical staff there and hospitals nearby.

If it doesn't get worse I would go, if nothing else than to take your mind off the worrying for a few hours. Take your notes, and if it gets worse can always go to a local hospital. To be honest, if I had serious complications there's some London hospitals that I'd prefer to be in than a lot of provincial ones in terms of their expertise in dealing with it with good outcomes for mum and baby.

I had this op in my third pregnancy.

Freaked me out as I'd never had it in the others

I was sent to hospital to be monitored and checked and was told as it's old blood it's fine but to just keep an eye.

It never happened again.

I went back to work the next day as normal
