Bleeding

[socks_and_unicorns]

so, I'm roughly 10weeks (maybe more) and im still waiting on a midwife, which i registered for nearly four weeks ago. and im bleeding. it's not heavy, but it's enough to be worried about. i keep reading the signs for miscarriage.. had anyone bleed in the first trimester and successfully had a baby?

Hi there.  I'm sorry this is happening and know it's scary!  I had spotting in early pregnancy.  But I have a girlfriend that full on bright red bleeding.  She was told that her cervix was very vascular and irritated and this was causing the bleeding.  Hang in there and try not to worry---  although I know that is easier said than done.  

Here's an article that might help:

I'll be thinking of you and hope it all turns out okay.  Let us know, okay?  hugs

I did! I bled at 10 weeks, almost 11 weeks. I went to the bathroom and found bright red blood in my underwear. I panicked and went to the ER and they did blood work and an emergency ultrasound. I was sure I was having a miscarriage. Turns out they couldn't find a reason for the bleeding (and there are some that don't mean miscarriage!) and my cervix was still closed. My diagnosis was a "threatened miscarriage" but "it didn't look like that was going to happen to me." I wasn't convinced. I kept waiting for it to get worse.

My daughter is almost two now. :) "Some women just bleed" is what my OBGYN told me. Not very comforting, but true.

I also didn't have any pain or cramping. Are you?
