Spotting and passing clots during pregnancy

[jociadam]

I posted on here a couple of months ago and am still having the same problem.  Right after I found out I was pregnant two months ago, I started passing bright red blood, but just spotting.  It rarely ever makes it to my underwear, but is there when I wipe.  I had two transvaginal ultrasounds at six weeks.  I have heard the baby's heartbeat twice since then (last time was yesterday) and I am now 14 1/2 weeks.  My doctor put me on pelvic rest back at six weeks and since I have been spotting every five or six days, my husband and I have chosen to keep me on pelvic rest.  I don't do anything overly strenuous, just light housework.  Today I was cleaning the kitchen (dishes, sweeping, mopping, dusting, etc.) and just a few minutes ago, I had some more spotting and there were two small clots (the blood is bright red).  My doctor says not to stress out over it too much unless I bleed so much that I have to wear a pad and actually change to a second one.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Any suggestions or comments?  This is my third pregnancy and I am 38.  My last child was born almost eight years ago and this one was unplanned.  I was taking Orthotricyclen when I got pregnant and took it daily up until I found out I was pregnant, basically at 5 1/2 weeks.

Im just over 15 wks n bleeding too .. I have a tiny clot beside placenta.. Ive been initally spotting after first passing bright red blood but now im passing more n need to wear a pad.. The only thing keeping me going is believibg each time i bleed it means clot cud be dissolving... N the fact ive been getting strong wee flutters.. I know this wee baby is a fighter n will be there right until labour.. Just need to keep having faith ladies n believe everything will work out for best. After all anything worth havibg never comes easy ;-)

Get checked. The same is happening to me now. Been bleeding and just passed a small clot, smaller than a quarter of the size of a penny, this is the first "clot" I have passed. I have been bleeding brown discharge for 3 days now, yesterday I had a big episode of bleeding, used the bathroom, toilet water was red, as well as the tissue when I wiped, full of blood. It stopped as of this morning and now this afternoon it has started back up, this is when I noticed the clot. The blood is not bright red but maroon colored, but it more than just a tint on the toilet paper. I have to go get my HCG level tested today. I am having very faint cramps, I really htink I have lost my baby. This will be the 3rd one in a row.
