Is This Really Normal??? - Wyoming,MI

I am 12 weeks along with my second pregnancy now. This past Saturday I ended up in the hospital with some pretty heavy bleeding. An ultrasound revealed the baby is doing fine, but after 5 days of bed rest and intermittent bleeding, I still have no answers from my doctor. She's acting like it's no big deal! Has this happened to anyone else??? My first pregnancy was beautifully uneventful.

What can I do next?

Ask your doctor point blank if there is ANYTHING to be concerned about. If your doctor seems to be brushing off the question, get a second opinion.

I do know of a woman who had bleeding with both of your pregnancies and her children were fine.

Then on the other hand I had bleeding with 2 of my past pregnancies and I miscarried both. One at 11 weeks and the other at 12 weeks.

I am really suprised your Dr. hasn't done testing to make sure your hormone levels are still up. I would most definitely call your Dr tomorrow and ask them more questions. Tell them your concerns and you want to know what is going on. Are you supposed to go back to see them soon? Everyone is different and ever pregnancy can be different. If they did a ultrasound and the baby is ok and your Dr tells you everything is fine. Then you can rest easy.

Because there can be many reasons as to why you are bleeding and have in the past. Just your Dr. should have given you more answers.

I hope the Lord watches over you and your new baby and keeps you both healthy and safe.

I'm not sure if it is "normal" it may not be "normal" but still not something to worry about. However, you deserve more from your Doctor. She needs to answer ALL of your questions, no matter how long it takes. You deserve to feel comfortable and get all of the information you can. I would call and either request a phone consultation (which she should call you back in 24 hours) or if you think you need an appointment request that she fit you in. If you are still not satisfied, I would change doctors.

Hi S.,
I don't know if it is normal or not. I think that you should call your doctor and find some answers, if nothing else it would ease your mind. Sorry I wasn't much help. Good luck with your pregnancy.

nobody can tell you what's going on better then your doctor. I know it can be intimidating, but they expect you to ask questions. Write them down beforehand if that will help you feel more comfortable. Bleeding usually isn't normal, but that doesn't mean it's something bad, as long as the ultrasound shows a healthy fetus, I wouldn't worry unless the doctor tells you something's wrong~ let us know how it goes, and good luck!!!

I bled when I was in my first trimester and ended up in the hospital too. I was out-of-town and refused a hospital stay. I took it easy and saw my doctor when I came home. They were not very concerned so I tried not to let myself worry about it. I don't know if it's "normal", but I can tell you that I now have a healthy 16 month-old daughter.

Don't let anyone scare you into thinking this is a terrible disorder, but DO ask your doctor, or even a second doctor, questions until you feel more comfortable.

I bled from 2 months to about 6 and they weren't sure why I did either but my baby was fine (although he was 7 weeks premie). When it happened to me I asked around too and it is much more common than you think. Relax, it's better for the baby.
