Not what I need on Christmas Eve

[Lisaworthy1981]

Had our positive test last week after some slight bleeding......that all stopped but just gone to the loo now and there is bright red blood!!!

What the hell can I do on Christmas Eve when my partner is at work and my son is here with me xxx 😢😢

[Hidden]

Sweetie firstly is there just a little? Are you sore? I’m not going to say don’t panic because you will but try and lie down and rest. I know this will be hard on Xmas eve xxx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Hidden]

There was some in the loo and when I wiped!! Don’t no what the hell to do xxx

[staceymac83]

Lisa call your local early pregnancy unit they will be able to advise you. Try not to worry tho bleeding can be totally normal xx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to staceymac83]

Thank you I’ll try and ring them now xx

[staceymac83 in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

They said to me unless I filled a pad within an hour they would call me back, with it being xmas am no sure how long a wait that may be for you tho ❤️ xx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to staceymac83]

They just said if it gets worse I’ve to ring 111 as there not a self referral unit!! Xx

[staceymac83 in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

Aww bless Lisa! Honestly my heart goes out to u. Stay positive ❤️ xx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to staceymac83]

Thank you! Don’t no what to do with myself xxx

[staceymac83 in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

I genuinely know how u feel, u feel so helpless but as hard as it seems the best thing to do is try and stay calm. Xx

[hannahkc]

Oh bless you, i hope it's just a blip Lisa🤞🤞🤞is your hubby home soon?

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to hannahkc]

Thanks so do I!! No he’s not home till tomorrow night!! He works in a children’s home and is on a sleep tonight xx

[hannahkc]

Wow that's an age to wait 😑 Hope you can get some help in the meantime and try to keep distracted, watch some bad Xmas telly or something!?x

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to hannahkc]

I no 😩!! Gonna try a not panic but don’t think it’s going to work xxx

[Strawberrychaos]

It will always be a worry bleeding during pregnancy but some women just do. It could be nothing, try to take it easy. Are you on the pessaries? sometimes they can cause bleeding cause they irritate the cervix. Xx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Strawberrychaos]

Yeah I’m on the pessaries but using them the other way 🙈! Xx

[Strawberrychaos in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

Ah ok, don’t worry I used them that way too. It still may be normal I know a few women on here have had bleeding on and off through their pregnancies and it’s all been fine. Obviously if it does get worse or you have a lot of pain with it then it’s best to contact the out of hours. I hope it’s just a blip hun xx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Strawberrychaos]

Thank you! No pain atm and nothing on the pad I’ve put on so fingers crossed xxx

[kirstyblue]

Oh I know how scary that is but please try not to think the worst. I have had spotting (pink and brown) on and off since my BFP.

Are you in any pain at all? If you are not in any pain and your getting less than a light period then from what I know, this isn’t always an issue.

Have you got an out of hours number you can ring? Xx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to kirstyblue]

Thank you! I had this in my tww too but it soon went!

No, no pain and I’ve put a pad on and there’s nothing on it and hardly anything now when I go to the loo to check 🙈

We’ll see what tonight brings xxx

[kirstyblue in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

If it’s pretty much stopped it that sounds reassuring. I’ve had this on and off so I know it’s so easy to get paranoid. Take care, sounds like your be fine xx

[Hidden]

Got everything crossed for you that it’s all ok xxx

[Saya85]

Oh Lisa I think the Xmas bug is haunting us all! I woke up with a strong positive test and then bled straight after bright red! Enough to cover oantyliner and tissues etc and when I wiped but not heavy or clotted

I just went on bed rest and gradually it eased off

Please don't worry too much. As they say unless it continually heavy and full flow to fill a pad then not to worry

Often you can get vaginal bleeding and it's not cervical/uterine so it's not anything to do with the embryo!

Relax stay hydrated and keep off your feet xxxx mine has finally stopped after slowly lightening all day

You may find it turns more darker soon again xx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Saya85]

Oh god really, was that today!!! It’s all so stressful isn’t it! But really not what I needed on Christmas Eve!

There was literally bright red on probably two wipes and now hardly anything! I’ve put a pad on and nothing on that either so we’ll see what tonight brings!!

I rang epu but she said unless it gets really heavy they wouldn’t do anything and I’ve to ring 111 if it does! Xxx

[Saya85 in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

Oh perfect ! Don't worry at all then please sometimes it can be cervical irritation or anything else

The fact it's gone after couple wipes is brilliant

Mine lasted whole day but eased off within first hour then was just dark blood slowly over hours

Just take it easy for rest of night.

Bedrest in time for Santa 😁

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Saya85]

I’m trying not to worry, my poor oh is now stressing at work too!!

My son is non the wiser lol

Let’s hope by morning it’s no where to be seen 🙈 xxx

[Cinderella5]

Oh god sake Lisa, hope its eased off. I think the others have covered it but I'm thinking of You!!xxx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Cinderella5]

Always a stress, thought all was going too good!! Xxx thank you

[Hidden]

I am sorry you are alone going through this.

I had spotting ( which is what yours sounds like) between 6-14 weeks. At 10 weeks it was bright red with clots. I was sure I was losing the baby but had a scan the next & baby is fine.

It is terrifying to see any blood pregnancy especially after a chemical pregnancy ( been there)

My midwife told me as long as I didn’t have severe abdominal pain with heavy bleeding like filling a pad every will spot & or so not to it wasn’t anything to be concerned over.

Lots of women spot in pregnancy & babies are fine.

Make sure you rest up, like bed rest. That would stop my spotting.

Hope it eases soon & happy Christmas xixo

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Hidden]

Oh god really that must of been stressful for you!!

It seems to have gone which is so strange! How can it come and go so quick?

I’ve got no pain at all, think I would of rung 111 if I had though to see if I could go and get checked out! Hopefully I’ll get some sleep tonight ready for Christmas Day xxx

[HollieW]

I hope everything is okay. I've had some cramping today which has made me worry too. It's such a stressful time. Fingers crossed all is okay 🤞xx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to HollieW]

It is so stressful, I’m hoping it’s gone, nothing there now when I wipe!! Must just of been a random bleed xxx

[HollieW in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

It is and hopefully that's the end of it xx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to HollieW]

I really hope so xxx

[Girlmeetsworld]

Advice as above. It's difficult when it's the holiday time and not many services are open. Bed rest and distract yourself to some Xmas telly. 111 are there to give advice if needed 24/7. Goodluck and thinking of you xxx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Girlmeetsworld]

Thank you xxx

[hannahding]

Hey, don't worry! I am sure there is nothing to worry about. I can understand that this must be a very stressful situation for you. However, the best thing to do for now is to bed rest. Ask someone from your friends or family members to come to your place. This will just give you extra support and you will feel a bit less tensed. Stay strong and positive! Good luck to you.

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to hannahding]

Thank you!! I’m trying not to worry too much, not much I can do now but rest!! Bedtime soon xxx

[MissSaoPaulo]

Hope that's it settled down now and really hope you can manage to relax a little xxx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to MissSaoPaulo]

Thank you! It keeps coming and going so I’ll see what tonight brings xx

[baby2016]

Oh Lisa!! This is not what you need happening. Easier said than done but try not to panick. Bleeding can be very common and not a bad sign, EPU won’t really be able to advise much as this stage. Your best going to bed, or putting your feet up and just resting for the night with your feet up. Keep taking all your meds, and if the bleeding continues you could request bloods from them to put your mind at ease. I really hope everything is ok. Stay positive and as calm as you can, all will still be ok xxx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to baby2016]

It’s a bloody nightmare (literally) it keeps coming and going! But not heavy enough to even touch the pad!! I’ve had a pad on since 7 and there’s not s drop on it, but is sometimes there when I wipe (red)

I’ll be going to bed soon and hopefully i will sleep xxx

[baby2016 in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

Are you taking aspirin? As that can cause bleeding sometimes? Hope it settles down during the night xx

[Fareena1904]

Lisa hope you get through the night & is just some bleeding that comes n goes through the pregnancy.Hope it ease & you have a great Xmas 🤞x

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Fareena1904]

Thank you, I’m hoping it will be gone by morning!! Santa’s been lol so I can go to bed now xxx

[Tugsgirl]

It must be so so scary for you but I really hope you’ve found some comfort in how common bleeding in early pregnancy seems to be. I hope you get some sleep tonight and try to take it as easy as possible tomorrow. Fingers crossed it stops soon 🤞🏻 xx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Tugsgirl]

Thank you! It seems to be exactly the same as what I had in my tww!! Not heavy but just there!! I’ll see how I get on and if it goes worse I’ll ring 111! Not what I want to be doing on Christmas Day so let’s hope it stops xxx

[Tugsgirl in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

🤞🏻🤞🏻 Remember that it may pool a little while you’re asleep tonight and then you may see a bit more in the morning but that’s only because you’ve been lying down all night. Try to get some rest now. Night night xx

[Laceygirl]

Oh you poor thing, I had a small bit of bright red bleeding early on and a scan showed that there was a flap of tissue that caused it and it was nothing to worry about. I had to wait a whole weekend before we had scan after the bleeding though which felt like torture! The best piece of advice I got was from my aunt who was a midwife all her life. She said to me that the best thing you can do is rest. If it’s a good pregnancy, it won’t matter if you go horse riding, bunjee jumping or stay still lying down, the pregnancy will stick but if it’s not meant to be, then it just won’t be - the thing to remember is that whatever you do, you will have to live with yourself and if you do something you feel might not be appropriate, you will only blame yourself - even though it will have made no difference at All. So best thing is just to rest as much as you can until you can get some answers. Bleeding in early pregnancy is so very common though, so please try not to worry yourself suck - easier said than done though! Wishing you much peace during the next few days and lots of love - I hope that makes sense what I said?! Xxx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Laceygirl]

Thank you it seems to have gone this morning so hopefully that’s the end of it and we can enjoy Christmas Day!! I still might ring the clinic though when there back open as we’re not in for a scan till the 7th xxx

[Autumnmoon]

Hope you do have peaceful day and all is well take it easy Happy Christmas x

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Autumnmoon]

Thank you, all good again now so fingers crossed it stays that way!! Just another blip in our journey xxx happy Christmas to you too xxx

[Saya85]

ooh so happy it's gone !

Mine stopped last night too and I managed to enjoy the evening with family and friends and even woke up this morning full of energy for a full Xmas dinner cooked by myself!

So hard not to overdo it lol.

My cramping and tightness symptoms pre bleeding have gone so I'm hoping that was just the release and won't get it again

Have a great day x

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Saya85]

Can’t believe it’s gone, so strange!! Least I can have a stress free Christmas Day!! Xxx
