Bleeding at 17 weeks. . .

Samantha • Wed, Apr 30 • Married to the love of my life. Healthy 1st baby (boy) 10/07/14 after a long road to pregnancy. Couldn`t be happier!!!!

So I am 17 weeks pregnant and yesterday ended up in he hospital because I started to bleed. It started the evening before with just old blood spotting and so I went to see my OB who did an ultrasound and everything seemed fine. Only 4 hours later I had a HUGE amount of red, new blood and my dr told me to go to the ER. They did more tests and ultrasounds and said everything is totally fine with the baby and the placenta and couldn't figure out where the blood came from. So far today I haven't had any more new or old blood which is great. I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with bleeding during pregnancy. X

Just been checked over by my doctor again and she is pretty certain I have a marginal placenta previa. Basically a side vessel on the outside of the placenta is bleeding, this would explain why I keep getting surges of bleeding rather than a constant bleed. She can also see a small shadow on the ultrasound that could be what that is. Going back in tomorrow to be checked over once again and will then see her every week until it stops which could be as early as 1-2 weeks or could take up to 8 weeks! Hopefully this is exactly what is wrong  :) baby is still moving around like crazy and heart rate is a strong 154. X

I had a major hemorrhage withy first baby. Turned out I had a subchorionic bleed. That's when a blood clot develops between the uterine wall and placenta. It broke free and that's what all the blood was from. Baby was perfectly fine :)
