I am now 11 wks 5 days with twins and today is the first time I noticed any spotting. For a few weeks I have had some pain, like I pulled a muscle near my groin/abdomen and just figured it was from everything stretching like crazy. I haven't been that active, but today I was playing with one of the dogs tugging on a rope toy and walking around a bit with some chasing outside for a few minutes. It was shortly after this activity when I used the washroom and saw the bright pink on the TP when I wiped. I'm a bit worried, trying not to freak out too much because I've read so much about spotting being normal during pregnancy. I just had a prenatal visit on Tues. and the ob/gyn was pleased we heard at least one of the hearts beating, said no miscarriage. I have an appt. tomorrow afternoon for my IPS ultrasound/lab work so I will know for sure what's going on with the babies. In the meantime, I'm back to relaxing on the couch for a bit with my feet up and waiting for hubby to come home. If things get worse tonight, I will definitely call the dr. or head to the ER, but right now I'm looking for a little reassurance so I won't start to panic and really stress myself out! Anyone with twins been down this road before?
My OB said to just rest--get off your feet. If the spotting gets worse, heavier, accompanies lots of cramps or back pain--then do go to hospital hun!
Sounds good you have appt. tomorrow but def don't panic in the mean time if it stops now that you're resting. You might just have to take it easier to keep the spotting/cramps away
As long as I'm NOT exercising, I'm fine. So as much as I want to get up and do things, I'm forced to rest all the time (am on strict bedrest)
Take care and let us know what docs say! Hope babies are still alright!
I agree about the spotting. I bled with all of my pregnancies. Sometimes it was placenta previa, sometimes a subchorinoc hematoma and sometimes nothing at all. In my second one I did have a complete placental abruption and hemhorraged, resulting in an immediate delivery and a blood transfusion but there were NO symptoms that it was going to happen. I have found that the bad stuff usually happens that way-out of the blue. All the other little things that we tend to worry about usually end up alright.
