pregancy

July 03, 2008

Okay so monday I started bleeding heavy and then I had 5 clots of blood like jelly with a maroon colored coating it lasted maybe 3 hours. Then the next 2 days I barely needed a pad on,and now im normal bleeding fixin to stop I think. The first 2 months of my pregnancy I didnt bleed at all and when I started bleeding I had cramps no back pain or headaches the cramps are still here but nothin bad. I still have preg. syptoms the bubble feeling in my stomach is there. And when i sit down it doesnt bother me. That sat. and sun. I went golfing and played with my nephew and I picked him up layed on my stomach just played maybe this helps. I didnt go to the doctor bc my husband said if I had a m/c I couldnt bear the pain. So please help me understand whats goin on!

Welcome shellybug!

bleeding during the first trimester of pregnancy isn't uncommon...many people wind up having good pregnancies so long as the pain doesn't get worse...

Many times, there really isn't a good reason as to why people bleed, but after 6 wks, you can ask your doc to do an ultrasound to confirm that things are ok...

yeah i know but it was clumps of blood like alot! and i didnt bleed thi first 2 months and i bled this month with the clumps and cramps

did i miscarry?

not necessarily did you miscarry, and hopefully unlikely, but only an ultrasound or serial hCG tests can determine this

Hi Shellybug - I think that you should def go to the doctor for an exam. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but to me, it doesnt sound good. Please make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible.

Sticky glus and prayers coming your way

oh well i was hoping dr.q would give a straight forward answer but he said not necessarily so idk =( i hope i didnt

Shelly, the doctor cant tell just by what you said wheter is a miscarriage or not. The ONLY way to know for sure is to see a doctor who will perform the appropriate tests to see whats going on. You could go to the ER if you don't have a doctor at this time.

Yes ShellyBug- Erin is right.. and if you are still bleeding after 4 days, I would suggest you go to the ER ASAP- Also DR Q cannot diagnosis you over the computer, I hope its not a miscarriage, being seen by a doctor is the only way to know 100%
