Bleeding during first trimester TMI
My husband and I got pregnant with
and I am now currently 10 weeks and 5 days. At 5 weeks and 6 days I went to the er for spotting that had gotten heavier. They saw the heart beating and I was told to follow up with fertility drs. At 6 weeks and 6 days I woke up to bright red blood in my underwear. A lot more than I had the previous week. I went to the dr and they saw the baby and it measured exactly 6 weeks and 6 days and they showed me the heart beating. They couldn’t find where the bleeding was coming from but told me to monitor it and let them know if it got worse. Things started to get better within a week or so. I had an appointment one week after that at 7 weeks and 6 days and the baby had a heart rate of 135 and measured perfectly. Then I had my final appointment with the fertility drs at 9 weeks and 2 days and baby had a heart rate of 169 and measured 2 days ahead. They said everything seemed fine and I’m now going on to see a regular obgyn. My appointment with them isn’t until November 6th.
On Thursday of this week I had yellow discharge and then on Friday it was orange. I called the nurse line at my clinic and they said if I didn’t itch or burn it’s probably not an infection but to keep an eye on it and come in or go to the er if there was any blood. I woke up yesterday and had some spotting but the clinic is closed on weekends so I went to the er. I went just to make sure it wasn’t an infection and it turned out to be more serious while I was there. I had labs taken and then a pelvic exam. During the pelvic exam the dr saw the discharge I was having and tested for infections. After getting back to my room, I sat down in the bed for a few minutes and then a nurse with a wheelchair came to get me. I stood up and then I saw blood on the sheets. The nurse said that is normal after a pelvic exam. I told her I could feel it on my legs and asked if I could clean myself up before going to the ultrasound. She gave me some wipes to clean up with and closed the curtain. I’m cleaning myself up the best I can and then I go wash my hands. While washing my hands I feel this pressure and then I feel blood running down my leg and then a huge clot about 3 inches long hits the floor with a lot of blood. I then panic because I’m thinking that has to be my baby on the floor and I’m crying and then realize I should get a nurse. I open the curtain and the nurse asked if I was ready to go to ultrasound and I said no and opened the curtain more to show her the floor because I couldn’t talk because of how bad I was crying. Then my dr comes in and looks at the clot and said there is no tissue in it, it was just a blood clot. I go to the bathroom and clean myself up and get a new gown on and head to ultrasound. My baby was still in there moving around so much it was hard for the ultrasound tech to get the heart rate. I got back to my room and the dr came in and told me baby measured at 10 weeks and 3 days with a strong heart rate of 176. He told me when he did the pelvic exam there was barely any blood and he didn’t see anything that could have caused this to happen. He said I have no infections and he doesn’t see anything to be going on to cause this. Ultrasound and baby looked perfect. This was the biggest scare of my life and I’m still worked up about it today. I go to my obgyn clinic tomorrow to talk to them and check on baby again. I was wondering if anyone had this happen and everything turn out fine? Thank you for reading this long post
