The exact same thing happened to me in 2004 with my now seven year old son. I thought for sure I had miscarried because I had several prior to him so I knew what they felt like. The pain, the clots and the bleeding was too heavy not to have miscarried. I got to the hospital and he was moving around in there. I was 9 weeks 4 days. I found out I had a subchorionic hematoma. My doctor told me to take it easy. He put me on baby aspirin to thin out the clot and make it bleed out. I bleed until I was 16 weeks pregnant,  not heavy, just enough to wear a panty liner every single day. If finally stopped and my son was healthy! I know how scared you are but the worst thing you can do is worry because it won't change a thing. It's in God's hands. I will keep you in my prayers. Relax and just enjoy being pregnant!

Ok Im glad it wasnt totally open. Its a good sign that while you were bleeding the baby and heartbeat was good, I would think that alot of blood for a miscarriage would be a sign that the baby had already passed and the body is exspelling it.  This doesnt seem like  your case, but I would def keep checking that cervix. Good luck.

I would take 16 red raspberry capsules a day. This lady was hemorrhaging in her second month of pregnancy. She was in hospital for two weeks flat on her back. The bleeding slowed down a little. They told her to go home and stay down. She took 16 capsules of Red Raspberry a day and the bleeding stopped within two days.

My doc has just told me its normal for my cervix to be open a little as I've had 2 kids and so the implantation blood can come out,apparently I have a lot more blood than usual,was told if I'm going to loose the baby it will be from now till Monday and there's nothing I can do to stop it..had more bloods done to check hcg levels hopefuly there still going up got my fingers crossed

Sorry I should of mentioned doc said it was open a little bit,he didn't tell me if it would close again,and he said my pregnancy could still go either way,I'll b making an app with my usual doc this morn

I had a lot of bleeding during my pregnancy but cervix was always closed.  If it is open this early on you may have incompetent cervix.  Talk to your ob ASAP since a cerclage can solve that problem.

I dont understand, how can your cervix be open and dr tell you to go home and relax. Did he say its a matter of time before you pass the baby? Did he say your cervix will close again???  (I dont see how)
Am I missing something?
