so scared! !
Not a good time for me at the moment, I'll start from the beginning since my status pretty much covers the jist of it. Me and dh had sex last night and it was nothing unusual we've basically eased back into sex reasonably regularly now we're 17 weeks and feeling more confident ( how typical) anyway that was OK, but afterwards I noticed the faintest orange tinge when I wiped. .. I also noticed dh have a look at his penis afterwards but when I asked what was wrong he said nothing. Anyway I was mildly concerned since this is the first hint of blood for months now and I remember thinking "how will I sleep now what if it gets worse" well I must have gone to sleep fine but woke up at 3 am feeling like I was weeing the bed. I put my hand down there and something was flowing out of me.
I rushed to the bathroom swearing as soon as I stood up it really flowed. .. shit shit shit! ! It felt like my waters had broken! When I got to the toilet and turned the light on. ..... It was blood! ! A lot of blood, I had talked it all through the house and it was all down my legs just gushing out! !! Obviously I'm freaking out and I said to dh I'm bleeding I don't know what to do! ! He said there's not much we can do is there I said I think we have to go to the hospital.
When he got up and saw the amount of blood he agreed so off we went. When we got there the bleeding seemed to have slowed to af sorry of level, they checked my cervix and said it was closed and the bleeding had mostly speed just trickling now. They checked my beta which they said looked normal although honestly at this stage in nor sure how much use a beta is? Then at 5.30 they sent me home to await an ultrasound appt I the next 48 hours.
I rang my midwife this morning and she followed up and the scan is 3.30 this afternoon. Until then I just have to sit and try not to panic. I am still spibleeding but it's much less and paler but every move im terrified will set it off again! !!
I'm the last week I had convinced myself that I can feel the baby move, I'm sure that's what it was and I think I've felt that since this incident so I am clinging to the hope of that and the facts that my cervix is closed and there is no pain with the bleeding..... I don't know why we let our selves how so much though! !! Dh said to me as we walked into the hospital" expect the worse Ok baby" and I know he's right but my heart is still hoping! !! Hopefully we will know more later today?

Sorry for typos damn predictive text. Wrote this on my phone so I didn\'t have to get out of bed
I\'m so sorry you are so scared. At this point a closed cervix is a great sign tgat you haven\'t lost the baby. Have they told you if your placenta is low ? I had placenta previa with my son. It can often be the cause of bleeding.
I will be sending you good vibes for your u/s. I hope everything is ok.
hugs
No idea about placenta position I guess they\'ll look for that today?
I had a small bleed after sex and it really freaked me out...BUT everything was totally fine! There are a lot of blood vessels around the cervix which can get upset during sex because there is more blood flowing around your body. Hoepfully that is all it is!
The good news is that it slowed down. I\'m sure if the hospital was really worried they would have kept you since you are now in your 2nd trimester.
Keep us updated
Praying all is ok, let us know about the ultrasound! xo
Thinking of you hun. I hope everything is ok.
I\'m so sorry for this horrible scare! I hope that your scan come up quickly so you can get some answers. I hope that everything is perfectly fine! Sending lots of love and well wishes your way!
