EARLY BLEEDING

libbylincoln by libbylincoln Talking Back(March 2007) (rank 41st)

THERE IS A FEW REASONS A PREGNANT WOMAN WOULD BLEED,ITS TERREFYING AND NOT ALWASY GOOD NEWS .IF YOU BLEED PLEASE SEE YOUR DOCTOR STRAIGHT AWAY BUT HERE ARE A FEW REASONS :

ONE CAUSE COULD BE IMPLANTATION BLEEDING WHICH CAN HAPPEN AROUND THE 4TH OR 5TH WEEK OF PREGNANCY

AS THE EMBRYO IMPLANTS IN THE LINING OF THE UTERUS. THIS LOKS LIKE A BRIGHT RED BLOOD ,MUCH LIKE A LIGHT PERIOD WHICH LAST FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS  IF THIS IS THE KIND OF BLEEDING YOU HAVE THEN THE BLEEDING SHOULD STOP AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

THEN THERE IS ALSO SPOTTING  WHICH IS DUE TO HORMONAL CHANGES THIS USUALLY OCCURS DURING THE FIRST COUPLE OF MTHS.THIS LOSS IS EITHER BROWN OR DEEP RED  WHICH YOU WILL SEE IN YOUR UNDERWEAR OR IN THE TOILET PAPER,UNLESS YOUR IN PAIN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH YOR PREGNANCY WITH NO PROBLEMS .

PLACENTA BEEDING SOMETIMES OCCURS AT ANY TIME MOSTLY IF A SMALL PART OF THE PLACENTA BECOMES DETACHED  OR A BLOOD VESSEL BURST.THIS WILL GIVE YOU A BRIGHT RED LOSS WHICH WILL STOP QUICLY AS YOUR BLOD CELLS CLOT WHICH WILL THEN FOLLOW BY A BROWNISH LOSS .SEE THE DOCOTR AS TEY MAY WANT TO GIVE YOU A SCAN USUALLY NO PROBLEMS ARE FOUND .

CERVICAL EROSION HORMONAL CHANGES CAN ALTER YOUR CERVIX AND MAKE YOU PRONE TO BLEEDING  USUALLY THIS HAPPENS AFTER SEX THE BLOOD LOSS IS RED BUT ITS VERY LIGHT AND BRIEF.THIS USUALLY ENDS ONCE YOUR PRGNANCY IS OVER .

CERVICAL POLYPS ARE SMAL HARMLESS GROWTHS ON THE CERVIX AGAIN THIS USUALLY ONLY HAPPENS AFTER SEX BLOOD LOSS AGAIN IS BRIEF AND LIGHT ,POLYPS CAN BE REMOVED AFTER PREGNANCY IS OVER BUT THEY ARE HARMLESS.

MISCARRIAGE BLEEDING  IS THE WORST THING THAT COULD AHPPEN TO A WOMEN,WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME IN 2006 WITH MY 5TH PREGNANCY I AHD NO PROBLEMS UNITIL THE 12 WEEK I BEGAN TO BLEED LIGHTLY ,BUT IT STARTED OFF AS BEING BROWN IN COLOUR THEN WITHIN A FEW HOURS IT WAS RED LIKE A PERIOD BUT I HAD READ MANY BOOKS AND HEARD MANY WOMEN GOT THEIR PERIODS DURING PREGNANCY AND SINCE I FELT NO PAIN I DID NOT PANIC NEXT DAY AS I WENT TO THE DOCTOR THE BLEEDING WAS HEAVIER AN ANOTHER DAY WENT PASS AND I WAS GOING TO THE TOILET EVERY FEW HOURS ON THE 3RD DAY I HAD A SCAN THAT TOLD ME MY BABYS HEARTBEAT WAS NO LONEGER THERE,BY THE 5TH DAY I WAS HAVING CRAMPS AND THE BLLEDING WAS HEAVIER AND DARKER THEN I BEGAN HAVING CRAMPS AND IT WAS HARD TO STAND UP STARIGHT ,WHEN I FELT LIKE I HAD TO GO TO THE TOILET AS I DID I FELT AN EXPLOSION MUCH LIKE WHEN YOUR WATERS BRAKE BUT IT WAS BLOOD .

GIRLS DONT WAIT TO LONG IF YOUR BLEEDING GO TO THE DOCTOR OR HOSPITAL IT COULD MEAN YOUR LIFE.

Re: EARLY BLEEDING
Libby, you poor thing, what a sad and painful experience.  It is good that you have shared this so people can understand more about the different types of bleeding that may occur when they are pregnant.  I wish that I had been able to read it when I was pregnant - Cheers, Lui

bleeding in preganancy

omg that sounds horible, i cant imagine going through that, i had spotting throughout both my preganancies but i went to the doctor on the first day it happened... i was absolutly terrified... i never knew that some types of bleeding are normal in pregnancy... i remember my partner telling me that it was normal but i didn't believe him... little did i know that he had gone and gotten himself well educated about preganancy and child birth during the first five weeks of my first preganancy so he knew loads about everything... meanwhile, i was totally clueless...lol... i quizzed him about everything to do with the preganancies there after... :)'s for you for getting this info out there...btw could you please turn your caps lock off your articles of late are a little harder to read because they have all been in caps...cheers from becca
