Reassurance
Just wondering if anyone else went through this. I’m genuinely anxious
So I’m 18 weeks pregnant, and I started spotting around 12pm today. I thought nothing of it because it can sometimes be normal. But I kept spotting till 8pm. I went to the er and they said that the baby is very low on my pelvis when he should be higher by now. The ultrasound showed the heartbeat (I wasn’t shown it) and they said that everything looks normal but they can’t do more testing because there was no one at the lab to test my blood samples or swab. They sent me home still bleeding (the spotting was pink earlier but now it’s gotten to a brighter red color) I have tender pelvis but no pain. Has anyone gone through something similar? Being sent home with no explanation and still bleeding to me is wild.

Did you contact your OB?
I would go to a different ER. Bright red blood would have me very worried.
I had light pink spotting after a very intense emotional argument with my sister once in pregnancy. I would be pretty stressed if is was bright red with tenderness or discomfort
Have your obgyn ever say anything about hematoma, I think i spelled it right. Its like a pocket of blood. Read more on it on Google.
They should have instructed you on what to do next. Eg should you go to GP for a blood test?
That's crazy they couldn't test, like even if no one was there, they could take a sample and run it through pathology the next morning
