I had red and brown spotting around 8-9wks, that turned into a massive bleed in the shower just before 10wks. In a panic I jumped outta the shower and grabbed my doppler...HB was still present. So I went to the ER to be checked out. They ran blood tests and did an ultrasound. Baby was bouncing around completely unscathed. Idk how I didn't lose him. I've never seen that much blood exit my body all at once. The cause was a large subchorionic hemorrhage. It was nowhere near the placenta, so was no danger or bother to the baby...just to me (cuz really, who likes to wear pads all the time?!). I bled heavily for a few days, it then tapered down to spotting again, and stopped completely in week 14. Baby was born 1 day after his due date, happy and healthy.
I know it's hard, no one ever wants to see blood when pregnant, but try not to worry. There are other reasons for bleeding other than a miscarriage or defect with baby. The cervix is another common cause. Just stay relaxed and hydrated. One day at a time!
Best of luck with everything! =))
