Re: spotting and pain at 14 weeks

Steph,

You didn't mention in your post , but I was wondering did the Doctor take a look on u/s during your bleeding or did he just but you on the bedrest? I had bleeding at 12 weeks and an u/s was done. Luckly I had the scan because we found out it was a problem with the placenta that caused the bleeding. If its any encouragement for you I am happily 23 weeks along and had quite a time with bleeding early on.

Best wishes to you!
