I bled for most of my second pregnancy. I had high blood pressure and was at weekly visits since week 8. Had emergency c section due to ruptured placenta.  That was 14 months ago and have a beautiful healthy baby boy. Also 31/6 weeks with baby #3. Just do what the Dr's tell you. Good luck mama

Bleeding sounds like it runs in your family. It may be nothing to worry about, but talk to your grandma and mum about any concerns. Since they are close to you genetic wise, they might be able to put your mind at ease. I mean ask how their pregnancies went. See if there are any patterns. Good luck sweety!

Try to drink a lot of water, lay down and stay off your feet. Elevate your legs up. I bleed with my first child...bleeding can go either way. Just take extra care of your self and stay in touch with your doctor.
