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.

I am 6 weeks pregnant and in April I had a d&c cuz I had a miscarriage. So my husband and I found out we were pregnant 3 weeks ago, everything was going good until 3 days ago I started to spot lite pink and then this morning bright red and I have been changing my panty liner every hour .... I have no idea what to think... I'm really scared, I don't want to loose this baby....

At around midnight I noticed spotting and a small blood clot (smaller than a dime or a penny). I know that spotting during the first trimester is normal, but nothing prepares you for that moment.  The blood was a red to pink color. At first I just drank some water and went back to bed. I later had to use the bathroom again and there was still more spotting slightly darker than the first time. It wasn't enough blood for a period, but made me nervous. I woke up my husband and said were going to the hospital. They checked my beta (hcg) levels which were high 66,897 and completed an ultrasound everything was normal and the baby had a heartbeat. I say this because we were here worrying we had to know if everything was okay with our baby. True there is nothing you can do if you m/c, but I coudn't wait for a later doctors appointment. The anxiety, worry, etc. was something crazy to deal with. Next time I know if it doesn't fill up one pad or no major pain with it then you do not have to go to the hospital.

Hi, I am 6wks pregnant and bleeding lightly, the bleeding started on Thursday 3rd may and has continued since, it's now Sunday 6th may.
I called my doctor on Thursday who booked me in for an appt on Friday 4th am, I was given another hCG test and although it was positive it was very feint, the nurse said to test again in a week but with the bleeding and having passed two lumps (not clots) it was highly likely that I am miscarrying. I am not in any pain and the bleeding goes from light to spotting. I think I've already lost the baby, call it woman's intuition, but I'm worried now that the miscarriage is not fully complete and that I may need help with the rest. My partners staying optimistic as I didn't have any pregnancy symptom with my first 2 children between missing a period and baby's first movement but I'm not convinced. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I'm at a bit if a loss as to what to do and how to continue with my normal life, I hate being in limbo!

I took a home pregnancy test a week ago and came out positive, I went to get tested at a center to apply for help and the test came out negative, I took another 2 home pregnancy test and also negative I was really upset because we had been trying for two years to get pregnant. My husband decided to take me and get a blood test done witch came out positive. So we came home we had dinner then I started to have sum cramping, went to the restroom and had sum bleeding with a lot of clear discharge, I decided to rest and call my Dr in the morning. I got up like at 6 am to the restroom and there was a lot more bleeding and a lot of big sized blood cloths,so i went to the er, they did sum test and exams. The Dr there said blood test showed i was pregnanat but the hcg was 7.5 witch for normal 5.4 weeks is too low. One week is between 10-20. Upto now I still have sum bleeding and not so much cramping but I've been crying everytime I think about how much we wanted / expecting the baby! It's Friday and I have Dr appt till Monday to check if the hcg numbers went up or if I had a miscarrage, I can't wait for Monday and a miracle! I don't want to get my hopes up but we really want this baby! Hoping for the best
