5wks pg and bleeding
July 18, 2008
started bleeding this morning, some clots, got an u/s and blood work both show im about 5wks the sac was there but he couldnt see anything inside, im sure this isnt normal im not cramping or anything and ive stopped bleeding now but im kinda nervous, a pelvic exam also revealed im bleeding from inside my cervix. anyone experienced the bleeding and still have a baby? im very nervous about this. also there was a slow rise in my hcg levels they were 415 on July 1st and today July 18th they were 6490 does this look ok? sorry its so long. plz help.
Hi Cynthia, sadly to say i experienced the exact same things allbut the clotting. Don't wory its normal if the U/S doesn't show the fetus at 5 wks it will appear at about 6 wks. You need to keep your feet elevated and stay off of them and get plenty of rest until you see your dr.Its a very scary experience and especially for me being it was my first pregnancy after TTC for over 10 yrs. you will be fine just get plenty of rest and stay off your feet and try not to stress though that will be the most challenging. make sure you know your blood type also because if your O negative you will need to get a rhogam shot that stops the bleeding/clooting in Onegative blood types. Its because your blood recognizes a new blood type(your baby) and tries to attack it (destroy) harsh but true somake sure you check your blood type also.
