Second trimester repeated bleeding

Wondered if anyone has a similar experience in pregnancy as my maternity team seem stumped - I've had 7 episodes of red bleeding so far between 17 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. Not loads of blood, but sometimes a bit of a gush which is alarming. A couple of things it could be although scans aren't picking these up anymore - small hematoma found 18 weeks, low placenta that has moved up and possible friction caused... I'm rhesus negative so spending a load of time in hospital either being checked or getting anti d jab. It's really unsettling and I'm constantly worried about baby arriving too soon as a result. Any wisdom/ similar experiences? It feels very lonely.

I had a bleed at 6 weeks and have bled on and off since. Had a scan and everything was ok. At 13 weeks I woke to bright red blood dripping down my legs, scanned again, still found nothing and baby is fine. I still have browny blood with first pee of the morning but midwife says brown blood is better than red. I've never experienced this with my other pregnancies.

Bless you that sounds like it's been stressful too! How far along are you now? Hope all goes well x
