Monday 6/26/06 was a crazy day. I woke up to find that i still was spotting and by the time i got to work it was bright red and i was cramping. My husband came and picked me up and we went to the ER. I'm 9 wks along so i was scared to death that something was wrong. They did an ultra sound and everything was fne. we seen the lil' heart fluttering like crazy it was soooo awsome!!! then they did a pelvic exam and checked to see if my cervix was closed...which it was...They said during pregnancy 50% of women will bleed up to 13 wks...and its old blood that my body is getting rid of. crazy. but they also said during the 1st trimester when you bleed you are most prone to miscarriage. They said i Threaten MC and to go on bedrest for 3 days...well i did and im still bleeding...not as bad though. I feel better too. I dont feel as much worried, maybe because i have the ultra sound photo on my desk here at work and carry it with me wherever i go. Its a secure thing i guess. but i dont know, im just rambling on about this cause i well felt the need to share. Thanks to all who read my post.

Yes I'm still bleeding but no cramping and actually it has calmed down a bit. Thanks for your concern.

Well hopefully it will go away and as long as you go get checked when you feel you need to then you are doing all you can to make sure your lil one is ok. Just take it easy even if its a lil longer than 3 days to keep your body healthy and your baby as well

Sorry to hear that you have to go through this, but keep thinking positive. Just take it easy. Your doctor is only a phone call away so don't be afraid to call no matter what.

This happened to my friend to my friend last year when she was 8 weeks. I don't think there was day that went by that she didn't call me (I told her to call me whenever at whatever time if she needed to talk and she did). I think just having someone their to talk to to help her think positive helped. In August she gave birth to two wonderful little boys.

Vaginal bleeding can occur frequently in the first trimester of pregnancy and may not be a sign of problems. But bleeding that occurs in the second and third trimester of pregnancy can often be a sign of a possible complication. Bleeding can be caused by a number of reasons.

Some basic things to know about bleeding are:

If you are bleeding, you should always wear a pad or panty liner so that you can monitor how much you are bleeding and what type of bleeding you are experiencing.
You should never wear a tampon or introduce anything else into the vaginal area such as douche or sexual intercourse if you are currently experiencing bleeding.
If you are also experiencing any of the other symptoms mentioned below in connection with a possible complication, you should contact your health care provider immediately.
First Half of Pregnancy:
Miscarriage:

Bleeding can be a sign of miscarriage but does not mean that miscarriage is imminent. Studies show that anywhere from 20-30% of women experience some degree of bleeding in early pregnancy. Approximately half of pregnant women who bleed do not have miscarriages. Approximately 15-20% of all pregnancies result in a miscarriage, and the majority occur during the first 12 weeks.

Signs of Miscarriage include:

Vaginal bleeding
Cramping pain felt low in the stomach ( stronger than menstrual cramps)
Tissue passing through the vagina
Most miscarriages cannot be prevented. They are often the body's way of dealing with an unhealthy pregnancy that was not developing. A miscarriage does not mean that you can not have a future healthy pregnancy or that you yourself are not healthy.

Don't stress out because this can cause a miscarriage as well. Just relax and if you do get worried than just call your doctor. As long as you know that the baby is doing well than just keep activity to a minimum and relax. Take advantage of the ability to relax. I wish you well and hope you have a healthy baby. I am glad you finally got to have an ultrasound. My AOL IM screen name is ToviahsEmma. I have tried to IM you but no response. I hope all goes well. :o)
