RE: Reason for spotting revealed...

[Guest guest]

hi there, i have never gone through this, my friend at her 20 week u/s

was told that her placenta was funneling outward and she was headed for

preterm labor so what they did was took her from work, placed her on

complete bed rest and they did the cervical stitch " cercloge " (sp?) did

they mention the stitch being an option for you to help prevent the

possible problems? i wish you the best of luck with everything, you will

be in my thoughts and prayers that all remains well, its really good and

positive that all looks good with the baby

Hello all,

I'm new to the list. :-) I haven't as of yet, had my surgery, but I'm

in the very beginning of the entire process.

I just wanted to offer to the list, that I know a great deal about

cerclages, have had 3 and currently have a 4th in place (permanently).

If you have any questions regarding incompetent cervix or the topic of

cerclage (or high risk pregnancy), I'd be happy to share with you what I

know.

I have known a couple of people who have had subchorionic bleeds

diagnosed early in their pregnancies.

Hey ...

I've helped several moms who had a subchorionic bleed

that early in the pregnancy...and NEVER had it become

a problem. Never had them on bedrest...never had it

cause a problem whatsoever.

Now..I did have one client with a later subchorionic

bleed that was substantial enough that it caused

problems in the third trimester (required induction at 38

weeks...baby ended up not tolerating labor and a

cesarean was performed)...

But never heard of anyone being put on any sort of

bedrest or anything just because of a first trimester

subchorionic bleed that was just " moderate " ....so it's

probably not going to be anything worth worrying about.

they will probably do a level 2 ultrasound at around 20

weeks and check the bleeding then...it will probably

have dissolved and you probably won't have any

problems with it whatsoever...

but I'm sure they'll let you know how everything looks as

you go along and they'll keep an eye on you if there is

any more bleeding. =)

(as a side note: placenta previa is a totally different

thing that has absolutely nothing to do with subchorionic

bleeds. subchorionic bleeds simply means that there

was some bleeding up underneith the chorion in the

chorionic villi...that when the placenta was implanting

and forming, that there was some bleeding underneith

the placenta between the placenta and uterine wall. has

nothing whatsoever to do with the location of the

placenta...)

as another side note...25% of pregnant women bleed in

the first trimester. doesn't usually cause a problem. =)
