Bleeding

Did anyone have bleeding throughout pregnancy? I'm 12 weeks pregnant and had been spotting daily. Had fresh blood on 3 occasions and went to gynae quickly, but baby was ok thankfully. No cause found for bleeding, not even having infection! Dr say might just need more bed rest. I feel bad about not going to work as my team is very small and they have to take on my responsibilities as well! How to cope with work guilt?

Me! I'm on week 19 now. I'm having bleeding and spotting on and off. Fresh blood on some days. Went to urgent care 3 times and even changed from KK subsidized to thomson just so I can have someone to call in case of emergency. So far, baby is normal and unknown cause for bleeding. but doctor said i shouldnt be stressed. Avoid long walks and standing. I'm taking hormonal pills 3 times a day if i've got bleeding. Other days I take 1 tab a day. Doctor suspect my progesterone is lower than normal pregnancy level. Second trimester is much better as spotting is lesser compared to first trimester. Much like you, I took mc and hospital leave as necessary which makes me guilty too. But my baby is my priority. There are other people who can do your work and even if there isn't, the business or company will still operate even without you. Hope this makes you feel better and just enjoy pregnancy.

Omg I totally relate!!! I also get so nervous to go to the toilet and I can't focus whenever I see blood. Congrats on your baby girl! Stay positive :)

My bleeding stop after 1st injection and daily I take duphaston as prescribed by doc. And offcourse make myself rest on bed as much as possible. My colleague have bleeding even with medicine, so she have to quit working and rest at home until she give birth. After give birth only she find new job.

hi im currently 7wks and 2days pregnant and was bleeding on my 6wks and half.When to kkh but doc didn't say anything abt my bleeding only saw that they can see my baby tissue and no heartbeat as it was still small.does it really harm my baby?1st time encounter this.Quite worried some

Hi mummy... please don’t feel guilty or bad for not reporting work... bb is more important then anything else... I had bleeding all the way till end of 2nd trim.. it’s tiring rushing to A&E or even gynae clinic every bleed event.. also please rest more

Bleeding might be caused from initial Low placenta at early stages of pregnancy. I had spotting at week 7-8 on and off. Then a gush of fresh blood and clot at w9 cos I orgas 😳try not to have couple time during 1st trimester. Now at 13w, no bleeding

On and off spotting during first trimester..my nurse told me is due to uterus stretching..not instructed for bed rest. Jus needed to monitor.

I think it’s quite serious and you must really rest enough. I’m sure workplace will be more accommodating and you can do your part , or even more after you are back to the team. Must rest enough and all the best!

I heard my friend had the same experience with you, her bleeding only stop at much later stage. It was so difficult for her, but know what? She have a healthy cheery baby gal afterall. Stay positive. Hugs !
