I have heard about little pains or
cramping that have to do with your uterus
stretching ...
My question is: how was is for you ladies?
How did it feel compared to cramping that
could be dangerous? And can you feel it
throughout your whole pregnancy or just at
the beginning?
(some of you might have read my postings
from before. I have been having bleeding
since the second week of august and it
still hasn't stopped. I am 12 weeks now.
The ob/gyn has not seen me yet until I am
16 weeks and so far I am still bleeding
pretty heavy everyday up until now)
i have had different types of cramping and
I don't know when I should worry and when
I shouldn't.
(as of two weeks ago when I had my last
u/s my baby was still growing and doing
fine)

You should go see someone especially if
you have cramping and bleeding together.
Maybe go to your hosptial and see a doctor
waiting that long probably isnt good. I
had some spotting and somtimes I still do.
I am 16 weeks now. My bleeding was never
heavy, very light. I went straight to the
hospital to see a doctor. They say most
women will experience spotting in their
pregnancys.
I had and still do get a sort of pain its
more streching than cramping it's the
ligaments pulling and streching.
Thats good you went for an ultrasound and
the baby looks good and is growing. I
hope everything works out for you and all
is well.

Hey thanks for the reply. It seems not
very many people like to answer my
questions. Maybe I write too much :p
i live in on canada and my ob won't see me
until I am 16 weeks. I have been to the
er three times because of heavy bleeding
and I still bleed heavily almost everyday.
It's not just spotting. I haven't been
having as many cramps in the past 3 weeks
but I am still concerned. I have not had
any definite answers and everyone is
giving me the runaround.
It's stressful sometimes.

Yeah I totally understand I was just
stressed out with having little spotting I
could imagine having actual bleeding.
Would you be able to go to a hospital near
by? That would be a good idea. That's
good the cramping has gone down. Or
maybe try and see another doctor. You
could be having a misscary or somthing
serious. Better to make sure. I was
talking to my cousin about bleeding and
she told me when she was pregnant with her
daughter she had lots of bleeding she said
it was like her period the whole
pregnancy. Now that would be scary.
You say you saw your doctor about the
heavy bleeding... What did she say??

I saw my family doctor who said he would
refer me to an ob.
The ob says he doesn't see anyone before
16 weeks.
I went back to the Dr. Asking if he could
just send me to any other gynecoloigists
and all he said was I have done all I can
do just bug the ob now and see if you can
convince him to take you sooner.
I couldn't convince the secretary.
I tried calling the teen health center
even though I am not a teen but I wanted
to see if they could help or tell me who
to talk to. They told me to talk to my
Dr.
All of them ultimately told me "if you
have heavy bleeding go to the er"
the three times I went to the er the
nurses and Dr. Were upset that nobody had
taken a look at me and they are not too
sure as to what's wrong. (that's after
6-8 hours of waiting in the er just to
take me in)
in the two hospitals that I went to the er
in they told me that someone would be
calling me to set up an appointment
soon.
I have not heard from anyone yet. I have
been waiting for a month!!
This really sucks!

I would deff. Go see another doc. Maybe
go to a walk in clinic. Sometimes they
have pretty good docs there. Other than
that I can't believe they are just making
you wait. Good luck to you. I really
hope everything works out for you.

Funny you say "walk in clinic"
i went to a walk in clinic when right
before I found out I was pregnant. I went
in because I had been bleeding for 3 weeks
at that time back in the first week of
september.
The doc asked for an urine sample and as I
was waiting for him to come and see me he
opened the door and said "you're pregnant"
I said well how can it be since I have
been bleeding for so long?" he said "well
maybe you are in the middle of a
miscarriage for all I know but my work
here is done" I asked "well what do I do
know?" he said "go see your family doctor,
but my work here is done that's all I can
do"
i was shocked, and so scared when he told
me that I just started to cry.
I have had bad luck with the docs and I
have been searching for help and answers
since I found out, but I still don't have
any definite ones.
I still feel pregnant too, so I am praying
for a miracle!

Holly cr@p. Whare do you live. I can't
believe that doctors are treating you like
this. I guess the only thing that you can
do is march right into you ob's office and
demand some answeres and help. This is
your child they are playing with. I
wouldn't take no for an answere.

How far along are you? I'd phone another
ob/gyn, or is there only the one where you
are. As far as I know, they'll see you
at 12 weeks here. Good luck

They are telling me that only my family
Dr. Can refer me to an ob. If I try to
go to an ob myself he will not take me.
He will ask me to go through my Dr. I
live in ontario canada
