Spotting

[Hopefultaz]

I'm 13 weeks and have been spotting heavily since week 8. Baby looks great on multiple ultraosunds and bleeding is from the placenta. Spotting is dark and old blood. No pain.  Has anyone had this  happen. I'm concerned it won't stop. I've completely stopped running and all exercise actually. Anyone have any insight or information?

I had this with my last 2 live pregnancies. I had a SCH which what it sounds like you have, basically a bleed on my placenta. My blood varied from dark red, pink, to red and varied how much. I'm now due on Dec 30th. So try to relax if you can. My OB had me take 800 mg extra folic acid in addition to my prenatal. I haven't had bleeding since 14 weeks. Good luck!

Thx! It's always reassuring to hear from others with similar stories..

Keep taking it easy. Good luck.  I was told no cardio, no lifting with placenta previa but daily living activities are fine. Doc said yoga ok.  If yours is caused by placenta previa the placenta will hopefully move because you're pretty early yet.
