Bleeding - 23 weeks!
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to hear from anyone who’s experienced something similar because it’s really frightened me.
I’m currently 23 weeks pregnant and was admitted to hospital after having some fresh red bleeding. It wasn’t a huge amount, but it was definitely more than just a tiny spot. I had all the checks done, stayed in hospital for 24 hours, and thankfully everything with baby was reassuring, so I was discharged.
Since coming home, I’ve had a little more bleeding (just small amounts), which has made me really anxious. The doctors couldn’t tell me exactly what caused it, and all they could say was that sometimes they never find a definite reason.
Has anyone else had unexplained bleeding this late in pregnancy and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy? Did the bleeding eventually stop, or did it come and go? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences because I’m feeling so worried at the moment. ❤️

Hey, the fact they couldn’t find anything wrong is really reassuring, but I do understand it must be scary for you.
I’ve only ever experienced bleeding that far along if I’ve had sex, but I do know of women that have had random bleeding during pregnancy and it’s just been put down to “one of those things”
I’m the same I’ve only experienced bleeding but after sex
Do you know where your placenta is? Because that can cause bleeding too. If you're not happy maybe get a second opinion? Or speak with maternity triage ❤️
I had two notable bleeds in my last pregnancy, one at 18 weeks then another at 21. After a lot of investigation they put it down to a little pool of blood they could see next to my placenta. They weren’t 100% sure why I was bleeding (even with the pool of blood) but assumed baby was putting pressure on the area. My body overtime either expelled the blood or absorbed it. That baby came out absolutely perfect. I completely understand the worry though! It’s great that there’s nothing glaringly wrong and I hope they’ll keep an eye on you. Take care x

Should I be worried
Hey mamas,
The top layer fell off last night and my midwife also said any loose ends I can cut off. I just now saw the spottings in certain areas. Should I be worried?

Pain here at top of bump / ribs (35w, 3d)
Has anyone else experienced pain in this area when sitting and laying on your side.
Feels like a sharp stabbing / pulling and gets worse the longer you’re in that position.
Baby is head down
Thanks! 🙏🏼

Baby pushing against tummy
Hi everyone. I’m a first time mama expecting my rainbow baby girl on Christmas Day. I’m currently 33.5 weeks.
The last four or five days I’ve found my tummy feels really uncomfortable and not like it did previously. It feels like baby is pushing or leaning back against the front of my tummy all of the time, so one side feels really full and distended. She’s kicking and moving fine, but I don’t know whether this is just a result of her getting bigger and so feels new, or something else?

39 week growth scan showing abnormal results
Just been for my last growth scan and now very concerned.
Estimated fetal weight puts baby at 86 percentile
But stomach is 97% and so is femur (thigh bone) at 97%
They’ve said they think my baby is 8lb 12oz already, my last baby was 7lb 6oz
Scared I have potentially 3 weeks left to go 💀
