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 :)
