Bleeding?!

[Flame]

I went to the hospital this afternoon as i was leaking a lot of fluidy stuff and the midwife took a swab and checked that it wasnt my waters that had gone. She said that it wasnt and that after the she had done the swab i would probably notice some bleeding.

Well i am but it is more than i thought it would be. Its brown not red though so old blood i know, but should i contact them again tomorrow if it is still as heavy? anyone else experianced this?

hun, if it carries on i would get it checked out...

after i had a internal last week i bled, and i was worried cos i wasnt told.. but if you are bleeding quite a lot then do get it checked.. like mary said she could have started you off and it be the start of your plug maybe..

keep us posted!

 

[Flame]

Am i wrong for wanting it to be that she has started it off?

Probably should just to put your mind at rest! Sure she knew what she was doing and would no have given you a sweep without telling you!

She told my mum that she didnt touch my cervix and it was just a swab cotton bud type thing she used so i doubt she would have given me a sweep.

The only other thing is that i am worried now that i may need to have an anti D jab again cause of the bleeding even though the midwife said i wouldnt cause she didnt touch my cervix.

Gaaahhhh why do i have to be such a bloomin worry wart!!!!

I think you should call them if you are still wiping blood in the morning. Like you say if it's brown it's probably only old blood but better to be sure.

I think you should give the MW a buzz tomorrow if you're still bleeding hun, I had a little bleed at 5pm on the day I went into labour.....but then I knew it was the real deal as I was 4 days late and started getting regular contractions an hour and a half later.

Also re: Anti D - you should be covered by your most recent injection, as it covers you for about 6 weeks.

Hope you're doing ok....and no not a problem to secretly hope its the start of things, at your stage I was more than ready to get myself all unpregnant and cuddling my little chica

I shall give them a ring in the morning if it is still happening.

Hiya flame..

has the bleeding settled down this morning?

 

[Flame]

It seems to have nearly completely stopped now but yesterday i had some jelly type stuff on my tissue when i wiped a couple of times after i went to the toilet but that seems to have stopped to.

This baby isnt coming anytime soon i dont think.
