Bleeding At 10 Weeks Posted: 03-08-06 01:36am
Yesterday morning I got up to find a spot
of red blood in my underwear the size of a
silver dollar. I am 10 weeks pregnant. I
went to the er where they did an
ultrasound and found that the baby was
fine with a heartbeat of 168. They told
me to see my doctor later in the week. It
is now 1am and I got up to go to the
bathroom, when I wiped there was blood
again. For the most part it is just
blood, there have been a couple of tiny
clots or maybe it was dry blood. I have
no pain. Has anybody been through this
and how did it turn out? It is a small
amount of blood but the fact that it is
red and not old looking scares me. I seem
to only have it in the morning, like it
maybe building up while I sleep. Thanks
for your help.

A lot of women have small spots of blood
in early pregnancy. It could possibly
be from your urethra instead of your
vagina anyway. You should not worry
unless it is worse than a period and with
bad cramps. Just see your dr as
recommended and they can further explain
what this may be.
You should be fine---as I mentioned, a lot
of women have this happen.

This morning when I wiped there was a lot
of old looking blood and it was a bit
clotty looking, sorry tmi. I was told to
save any tissue if I pass any. There were
a few little flaky looking things in the
toilet but I am not sure if it was dried
blood or tissue. Either way they were too
small to save. I suppose the fact that
there is still a heartbeat means that
there is a good chance that it isn't a
miscarriage. Thank you fatfamily02 for
your reply. It made me feel a bit better.

Hey Posted: 03-08-06 08:44am
Hey I went threw the same exact thing at 6
weeks and again at 9 weeks. The dr had me
come in both times to make sure the
pregnancy was ok, he said alot of women
(though never normal for a preg woman to
bleed) are sensitive to sex which makes
them bleed whenever penetrated. So I was
put on rest till I made it to 12 weeks.
We never found the reson for me to be
bleeding, but we did kno it was not from
the baby, and we were both ok. So that
was great! But he said to never take any
blood, old or new, easy because it can
lead to issues. Good luck hun, and hang
in there...

i agree---this doesnt even sound
like--"from the baby," maybe a uti, or
like you said a sesitivity to sex, or some
kind of irritation.
It happened once with my daughter and it
was from sex.
