Pregnancy, fibroids and bleeding. Anyone else? |
I am 14 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with a uterine fibroid tumor at 9 weeks, after some light spotting. Last Saturday evening while making dinner i started bleeding.. heavily. Hubby and I rushed to ER to basically be told "it happens to some women with fibroids. Go home and come back if it continues for too long". At my regular doctors that Monday he called the bleeding "worrysome" and and told me to take it easy and that the bleeding means the baby my be trying to miscarry. My question is: I heard women say they had the periods throughout there whole pregnany, but technically it can not have been a real period... so were you bleeding from a fibroid? How often did you bleed? And did the baby live full term? How about delivery? C-section? Please keep in mind I have a uterine fibriod.. one near my cervix. I was recently diagnoised as having a fibroid tumor about a month ago but I am not pregnant. During my first pregnancy I did start bleeding. It was heavy like a regular period and even some clotting. I went to the er convinced that I had miscarried but the baby's heartbeat was fine. I bled for the first 3 months of that pregnancy and I did carry to full term and have a healthy 16 year old son now. So don't worry especially if there is no cramping. Just stay off of your feet as much as possible during the bleeding. Oh, and congratulations. A similar thing happened to me. My doctor has said that I do not have a fibroid though. I think that there is something up though. I bled (RED) for 2 days straight and the only thing the docs would say was to stay off my feet. "Nature will take it's course". I was really worried. I spotted for another 2 weeks and then it stopped. The doctor says it was more than likely a blood pocket built up along my uterine wall because my placenta was moving upwards too fast too soon. Since then I have started to spot again. This time it's brown and I even have tissue clots that go along with it sometimes. The brown spotting has been going on everyday for 3 or 4 weeks now. Been to the doctor several times and he can't tell me what it is. I had an ultrasound last week and they say everything with baby is perfectly fine. Doctor told me just to deal with it. It makes me worry...but so far so good! My advice to you is try and take it easy. Ease your mind that there is something really wrong. Relax and just let nature take it's course. There are many signs of miscarriage. Bleeding is only 1. Cramping is the worse sign so if this accompanies the bleeding then I would be more worried. Take care and good luck!
