Hiya. Are you still bleeding now or has it eased off? If you are wearing a pad and you are have had to change it more than 4 times since yesterday as it has been filled with blood and clots then I would get yourself to the hospital.

I was in bed on a Sat night and woke up at about 1am as my pj bottoms were soaked so I went to the toilet and they were sopping in blood, when I wiped I had clots and I was still bleeding, I was 12w on that day. I went into A&E that night and got seen on the Sunday morn as they admitted me onto the Gyna ward where we waited for a Sonographer to come in so I could have a scan. If you are still bleeding now and you go in they will give you and internal to check if you Cervixs is open or closed. The Gyane said she thought mine was open but couldn't really tell because of all the blood and clots (sorry for tmi) so reffered me for a scan. Baby was fine and I am now 17w. You might have a Hematoma in your womb which would count for the blood loss. Are you still lossing now or has it turned brown?

Its not a lot only wen I wipe I had 1 pad on since last night. But my worry is the colour is like a fresh cut.

Go to hospital. Red fresh blood is not a good sign, for me it meant I had a misscarriage :(

But I do know that some women like my sister had a big bleed and now he is 4 months old :)

Good luck I hope you get seen to ASAP xx

Call your maternity unit.. mine is open 24/7.. or make your way to hospital A+E. Better to be safe than sorry and for peace of mind. Good Luck xx

My friend's colleague started bleeding heavily at work and was rushed to hospital. They found the baby still alive and in place. She was ordered to have bed rest for 2 weeks. I have my fingers and toes crossed for you. Good luck tomorrow. xxx

Hi all thanks for all your support. Was at EPU from 9 this morning and did not leave there till 1. Anyway baby is ok, and my cervix is closed. They don't know where the bleed is coming from but told to rest. How can I with a 4 year old and being a full time student.

in reply to MELLISSAC8

great news!!! Yes it's hard but just rest when u can and no heavy lifting

So pleased for you that everything is o.k. Just try and rest though it is important for you to take it easy.
