Cramping and bleeding....round 3...

[crazycatlady6]

Waiting for the nurse to call me back since we're in the middle of a snowstorm and the offices are closed but I am so afraid that I might be m/c.

i have been cramping a bit, nothing major but enough to draw concern, especially when I went to the bathroom and saw bleeding, a little less than a regular cycle but there was a decent amount.

freaking out over here right now....


update: had another round of heavy bleeding last night, slowed down considerably about 1/2 hour after it started. Another ultrasound in 2 hours. MH and I determined last night that I need to take a leave of absence from the job (there is another thread about it on here) and I wake up to an email that my boss was one of 30 people laid off in the most recent round of cuts. So now I have an interm boss...not the way I wanted to introduce myself.

I've got my fx it's nothing serious! Hugs!

FX it's nothing! Keep us updated.

[crazycatlady6]

How long does it normally take for the nurse to call back? It's been an hour since I called the office.

Fingers crossed all is ok. I know many of us ladies have had cramping and bleeding early on. Hoping it's nothing. Please keep us up to date.

Ugh I'm so sorry. FX that it's nothing serious. I would think an hour would be long enough, but who knows with a major snowstorm. Hope you hear back soon!

[ruthie]

Fingers crossed everything is okay! Lots of hugs your way. I know from first hand experience, bleeding is super scary, but can be a sign of a benign issue.

FX that it's nothing. And yeah, I'd think an hour would be more than enough time. I'd be calling again. But maybe they are really busy because of the storm.

t's and p's that it is nothing. I bled early on with this pregnancy, red and with a clot, and baby turned out to be fine. it's still really scary though! ((hugs))

[crazycatlady6]

I just got a call from the RE, she is concerned but says that it is common during the first trimester. I am going in tomorrow for a scan . The bleeding has just about stopped for now and I was told to up the butt shot to calm the cervix and to take it earlier.

I was also told to take it easy, with the snow I don't have much of a choice! MH just got home as well so that makes me feel better.

Keep the fingers crossed until after the scan tomorrow. I'll update after I get home.

I hope it is nothing serious. FX for good news tomorrow!

Praying that it is nothing, gf!

So scary, I am thinking of you!

[ginnyjones82]

FX that all is well!

I had bleeding episodes twice early this pregnancy (5 weeks and 14 weeks) and I completely freaked out each time. Hopefully it means nothing, try to relax as much as your brain will let you. I drank water like it was going out of style until I could get in to the RE for a scan check. All of this, is of course, easier said than done. Just know you aren't alone! Plenty of us have been there!

[ProfessorChaos]

T&p for you that all is well. Many of us have had this experience, and the babies have been just fine. I how that the hours until your scan fly by!! House of cards??

[gsancho]

T&Ps that it's nothing and an u/s tomorrow brings good news. Cramping is so common in first tri, it's hard to tell...and a lot of us experienced spotting. I had both at around 7-9 weeks. It's torture until you can see that u/s!

[bluefairy5]

crazycatlady6 I'm so sorry you're going through this. I will be thinking of you and truly hope it's one of the common first tri bleeds people get. I'm glad the bleeding's stopped for now. Keep us posted when you can. (((hugs)))

[sewfie2]

I'm glad your nurse finally call you back. I hope your scan goes well tomorrow.

[crazycatlady6]

Thanks for the well wishes.

The bleeding did come back, it seems to come in waves. I just took the shot so hopefully things will calm down. I'm trying to keep sane, the DVR is my best friend right now.

This sucks.

[daydreamernyc]

Fx. Keep yourself busy tonight so the time flies by!!!

[dharmachick]

FX that all is well. GL with your scan tomorrow. I hope that you can find some good distractions until then.

[kmc84]

FX everything looks good tomorrow!

[lilyharper]

I hope everything is ok! I've had lots of bleeding with this pregnancy and it's always scary.

[crazycatlady6]

The office just opened and they were able to get me in within the hour. Keep those fingers crossed please.

[bluefairy5]

crazycatlady6, Thinking of you. Glad they were able to get you in early. Update us when you can. (((hugs)))

[crazycatlady6]

Got back a little bit ago and I am here to stay! The dr. thinks what happened is that the placenta forming burst a blood vessel, hence the reason for all the blood. Everything looks great though. I have weekly ultrasounds now, hopefully I will hear a heartbeat next week. I also learned my due date is November 4th and I am 5w2d officially. I hope that never happens again, what a rough 24 hours!

[ginnyjones82]

I am soooo glad that everything is fine!!!

[kam10]

So glad to hear the good news!
