Had a scary night last night, I've had mensteral like cramps for the past two days. Last night around dinner time I started to get back pain, went to pee and saw bright pink spotting. Cue freaking the fuck out. Went into L&D. They found both babies heartbeats (thank G-d), did a cervical check where a nurse went elbow deep and OMG- it hurt, and monitored for contractions. My cervix was high, hard and closed and I didn't have any contractions.
No good reason for bleeding as far as they could tell. They gave me fluids even though I wasn't dehydrated and the itchy shot to relax smooth muscle. The on call doctor from my practice came in. She was great. I'm going in this afternoon for an ultrasound to measure cervix exactly and look for cause of blood. The nurse told me to get used to coming in because they see twin mamas a lot for this type of thing. Scary.

I'm glad all is well. It's very scary when it happens but it sounds like your dr. is being very proactive which helps a lot. Hopefully they will find a cause of this and that it won't happen again!
So sorry for the scare! Being sent to L&D before you are ready, is a terrifying thing. And, I'm sorry for the cervical check! I had a very similar incident and contined to spot through 2nd tri, but made it to 36w! A girlfriend of mine (also pregnant with twins) had the same thing happen. So glad everything is okay!!
Update- the babies looked good! Didn't look like there was a reason for the bleed. My cervix shortened about a cm since last Thursday. It went from 4.5-3.7 . They said its still a good length but I go back in a week to see if its a trend. G-dwilling it's not.
