Bleeding

Lisa • 36 years old, first time mom after 7 years ttc, baby boy Colton born Aug. 23rd 👶. Lost 2nd baby at 7 weeks.
So I am having occasional bleeding and/or spotting. I'm 15w3d. I see my dr on Tuesday, but in the meantime my gf has freaked me out saying it could be placenta previa. I was coughing really hard and wonder if the bleeding has anything to do with that or if it's just my cervix being irritated. I seem to bleed a little every 4 weeks.

Told my midwife about the bleeding. She thinks it could have been from coughing so hard affecting a blood vessel. All is good now though. I gained 2 pounds since my last visit 4 weeks ago and have an appetite, so let the pregnancy be a healthy one!

Definitely see your doctor to know for sure, I had bleeding and mild pain last weekend, at 14wks, ultrasound showed a subchoronic haematona (spelling?). They are monitoring it now and I have been prescribed absolute rest until it resolves, fortunately I'm coincidently on leave from work so I can comply

Thank you ladies. So far so good, no new red bleeding for a week now and today's scan showed an active healthy bub. Just need to keep taking it as easy as possible.

My doctor didn't give me anything, just told me to take it easy. Somewhat bed rest, but I have two kids & work so taking an easy was hard to do. So glad it's gone, goodluck to you, I'm sure yours will resolve itself also.

I'm 16 weeks expecting twins, I also had a subchronic hemorrahage diagnosed at 8 weeks, it was 6 cm, I had bright red bleeding & cramping once, then it turned to light brownish blood haut spotting here & there. By week 10 it went down to 3cm then at my 13 week 6 days ultrasound it was fully gone.

They should do a ultrasound, it could be something or it could be nothing. I'm 16 weeks 4 days expecting twins, at 8 weeks I had bright red bleeding & cramping, they did a ultrasound & saw I had a subchronic hemorrhage (blood clot in the uterus), it was 6 cm, I had brownish blood spotting off & on for weeks. It went down to 3 cm by week 11, then at my last ultrasound I was 13 weeks 6 days it was gone. Try not to worry, which I know is hard to do. Goodluck

This is pure conjecture so take it with a grain of salt. Since you're experiencing this every four weeks I think it's possible that you could be experiencing some sort of mini hormonal cycle. You know how ladies who don't know they're pregnant can have a pseudo-menstrual period? Something like that maybe. There can be a few causes but definitely something you'll want to bring up with the doctor. Good luck and I hope you find answers.

That's what I was thinking but it's not a lot so just maybe. I'll be mentioning it to my dr.
