Im 27 weeks and I started bleeding heavy last Saturday. I was rushed to the hospital and put on fluids and couldn't leave the bed. They did an ultrasound to check on baby and he was fine. They said my placenta was low and I had placenta previa but when I went to my doctor after I got out of the ER 2 days later I got another ultrasound and they showed me where my placenta isn't low at all, in fact it's in the perfect place. They still could not tell me what caused the bleeding. I was so afraid because they gave me steroid shots to mature the baby lungs in case they had to do an emergency c-section. The bleeding has stopped. Although it didn't stop at once. It gradually stopped and started becoming darker (indication of old blood). As of now my son is 2 lbs and 2 oz. I pray he stay at least another 10 weeks. Any other moms shared a similar scare?
Thanks a lot. My doctor said I don't have placenta previa , so we don't exactly know what caused the bleeding. I'm on pelvic rest as well though. The bleeding has stopped, Thank God. Wishing you a safe delivery! @m8626
I have placenta previa and I am told by my doctors that is can cause bleeding but I have been on pelvic rest since 20 weeks and thankfully no bleeding. I have to have a c section since the placenta is covering my cervix. I hope it stops for you I know that can be scary!
@mommyof3boys, I'm glad the spotting stopped for you. I guess it's normal for some mommies.
I had heavy bleeding around 10 weeks. I know it's not as far as you are. They told me it was a subchorionic hemorrhage and that it should resolve on its own. I only had heavy bleeding when I woke up and the rest was spotting. I spotted here and there until I was 21 weeks.
Thanks you too ❤️ @supermommy016
