I'm Spotting :(

[alaysha]

So I'm a little over 8 weeks pregnant and when I went to the bathroom about 30 minutes ago I wiped and came back with a little bit of pink blood and what looked like little miniature clots. When I first found out I was pregnant I had a UTI which I was given antibiotics to fight off and then found out it was actually bacterial vaginosis which supposedly is like a UTI but actually hard to get rid of and if you get it during pregnancy sometimes they try to keep you on meds the whole pregnancy since it could be a problem. Anyways I was given one dose of meds for it and it seemed to go away but the last week I've kind been feeling that uncomfortable feeling down there again. I checked online and it says that it could cause spotting or miscarriage in early pregnancies. I'm waiting for my insurance to go through (it was supposed to go through last week but now it looks like it wont go through until next week), my doctors office is closed and if I call I'll only get the after hours answering system. I spoke to my fiance on the phone and he thinks I should just go to the hospital and get checked out. But... in approximately 30 minutes I'm supposed to be in class taking a test. What should I do?

I would definetly recomend going and getting checked out.
I also have bv. Also known as bacterial vaganosis. Ive had it for 2 years now , it will go away and then come back. I am now 12 weeks pregnant with my first baby and although i have bv my doctor says that there really isnt a huge concern as long as i keep all of my apptments and contact the doctor if any problems develop. The problem with bv is that most of the time there are very little if any symptoms, although alott of times bv will diqsuise itself as a infection such as a uti.. Spottig can happen for all sorts of reasons during pregnancy... I would def. go to the doctors or the emergency room... This could be very important for you and your growing baby... Good luck and God bless you I hope i was able to help in some way

Hey at least you got that good news :) Don't feel too badly about the recurrent utis I had them every single doctors visit with my first son and didn't have a single one with my second. I have a low white cell count and that is what the doctors attributed the recurrent UTIs to... Antibiotics will take care of that! I am so glad everything turned out well for you!

Finally back from the hospital. That crap takes forever! So my little bean is looking ok and is measuring 8w1d (right on schedule) and has a heart rate of 167. My fiance was SO excited when he saw that the baby was ok. Pretty much a sh*t eating grin which was really cute. Anyways, they think the spotting is because I have ANOTHER UTI. WTF. Seriously. I'm super relived though that the baby is doing ok and now I am going to bed!

Absolutly go to the hospital. Im sure you can get a note from the er, or discharge papers to show your instructor for the test. but you definately want to make sure you and your little one are ok.

How well will you do on your test with that in mind? I would go to the ER !


Good luck!

i agree i would go to the er. ill keep you in my prayers!

your health is more important than a test... I am sure if you tell your professor that you had to rush to the emergency room he will understand... Good luck!!
