Complete Placenta Previa and Brown Discharge

I am 29 weeks and one week ago I had bright red bleeding. I was admitted for 3 days and discharged once it stopped for 48 hours.

Since then, a couple of days later I had brown mucus discharge in the morning and was admitted again for 24 hour monitoring. I was discharged as I had no more brown bleeding and had the choice whether to stay on the ward for the rest of the pregnancy or rest at home as I live 10 minutes away from the hospital. I have a 13 month old at home, who I still breastfeed.

Two days later, I had brown mucus discharge again in the morning and has since stopped. My baby's heartbeat is strong, I feel her kicking often. I'm now at home, bed rest only. As I'm not having active bleeding, the hospital have been monitoring my baby's heart and checking my obs, which are all fine so I've been able to go home.

Has anyone else had the same experience where they have intermittent brown discharge for the rest of their pregnancy? Is it common for it to happen every few days?

Hey ! Firstly sorry that you have had a bleed and been admitted a couple of times- it’s never nice being in hospital. I had a placenta previa and was admitted to hospital for bleeding for 9 nights when I was 19 weeks. Since then have had no active red bleeding but get browny pink mucous discharge every few days for the last 6/7 weeks- especially after I go to the loo. For me this has been the norm now for the last few weeks and hope i don’t have another bleed 🧿🤞🏼

Thanks so much for letting me know and sorry you had to be admitted aswell. It is scary when you're not sure. I've been having brown mucus discharge now for the last 3 mornings. Not bright red blood. How many weeks are you now?

I’m
27 weeks now! I hope yours clears up but I think if it’s not bright red then it’s hopefully okay 🤞🏼

That's really reassuring to hear 💕 I'm 30 weeks now. I hope yours clears up too and you haven't had too much bleeding recently? Keeping my fingers crossed for each day 🤞🏻☺️

Looking for friends

Hey laddies. I’m 27 year olds I’m a mom of 2 girls. I’m currently 3 months pregnant. I want to make some new friends I get bored I realize I don’t have any more friends. I stay in Tennessee. Also I’m a Virgo. Let’s be friends 🥰

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Feeling stupid

I got drunk last night and had unprotected sex he didn’t cum in me but I’m ovulating
And having pain and I’m freaking out

Can I take morning after pill when already ovulating/ ovulated
And is there any safe for breastfeeding

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Loosing connection

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and my partner can’t and hasn’t come anywhere near me sexually for about 12 weeks or so now. We tried but he got put off saying he was worried he was hurting the baby. I’ve spoken to him about this trying to tell him he can’t and he’s no where near, I’ve sent him email links I’ve had through on newsletters. My libido is through the roof and I’m worried we will drift apart if we don’t have aex again soon.

Running mums!

Any other runners on here? Would love to connect ☺️
