Up until this weekend the start of my pregnancy has been completely normal.
However early hours Sunday morning I woke needing the toilet, as I’ve wiped I’ve notice fresh blood filling the tissue, I checked my underwear nothing. I wiped again, there was more. And again until it was gone. I ofcorse went straight into overthinking mode and my instant thought was I was losing the baby.
I went to out of hours, they took bloods and that only confirmed my hormone levels were still high. I had not had anymore more fresh blood at this point but every time I wiped there was dark brown/old blood on the tissue. (Only when I wiped) I was sent home to wait for a call for an emergency scan. That day I spent the day back and forth to the toilet dreading each wipe, each time more of the same dark brown blood. Until the evening. I went to the toilet and more fresh blood appeared, I again thought the worst.
fast forward to the day of the scan, I’m still having brown bloody residue everytime I go to the toilet. I end up having to have an internal scan as she is unable to pick my uterus up externally. She said my uterus is very far back. The internal finally gave me some hope, the baby was there and its heart was beating strong. She mentioned one of my ovaries was sitting behind my uterus, but tbh as soon as I seen my baby’s little heart beating away everything was a blur.
I met up with the doctor after the scan and he had absolutely no answers as to why I’m bleeding or what the cause is.
Hes told me to go on bed rest for a few days and contact them if the bleeding gets worse or if I start cramping. I haven’t had any pain during this time apart from back pain which I’ve had for days prior to the bleed.
has anyone been through this that can send some encouraging words or is anyone currently going through anything similar?
