(I’d also like to incorporate the “vulcan salute” somehow; Any ideas?)

I bled for a week, bright red blood but they held on.

Take heart, alot of pregnancies start off with spotting.

tiffs last blog post..Where I talk about febrile convulsions…again.

I bled this time around after not so much as a drop with my previous pregnancies.
And when i say bled i mean bled as in changing pads and passing clots and unable to move with pain. I spent a few days grieving for my baby with even the doctor agreeing it could not be good news.

As im not almost 25 weeks into this pregnancy everything was actually fine and we have no idea the reason for the bleeding (although a few people have suggested twins and i miscarried one) – ok thats not what you want to here but from everything i have read that its only when the bleeding getting heavy and accompanied by cramps that you should start to worry.

I always preferred the dildo cam because I hate having to wait with a bursting bladder for a sonographer who’s running late! Mind you, the dildo cam never caused me any problems, so I have no bad associations with it.

Good Luck

Does that help? I hope so.

Hang in there.

I have had more internal scans than I care to remember. (I’ve been pregant four times, have had two missed miscarriages, two live births and three children) I also bled off and on until about 25 weeks with my last pregnancy. I had several early scans to try and figure out what I was bleeding and to check everything was ok (I’d had a missed miscarriage that ended in a DnC a very short time before conceiving again).

Early on they thought they could see a blood clot on the wall of my uterus, outside the amniotic sack which was probably where the bleeding was coming from. I was told it would either stop bleeding and be reabsorbed, it would continue to bleed but not be a problem or it would bleed so much that it would dislodge the pregnancy and I would loose the baby – I just had to wait and see. Fun? NOT!

After each internal scan I bled again and more, but I was told that is pretty normal and I also bled after an early internal scan with the twins – apparently it is quite usual for old blood to be dislodged from the cervix with all the bumping about – though I was sceptical at best.

Obviously though it all worked out in the end as Muski the monster turned out just fine, despite freaking us out early on. The hardest part though is just getting through each day, I remember just immersing myself in my children and the house and thinking that if I could just be the perfect parent and house wife that the universe would agree that I deserved another child… how stupid is that? But you do whatever you need to do to get through…

Right now I am 10 weeks and have had about 5 random days of spotting. Nonetheless, I have had three sonograms in which my doctor was extremely happy with – so I have decided to ignore all spotting and just remain positive. Each week, I become more and more lax and more and more confident.

Okay, story to share: A friend’s sister had previous miscarriages too. One weekend they had gone down to Mexico. Well, in the middle of the night that night, she hemmoraged a lot, making the bed look like a crime scene. They rushed her to the doctor and she ended up with a healthy baby girl who is now 12 years old. This has been a source of my hope.

Stay positive and rest up! Wishing you all the best!
