BLEEDING BADLY please help me?

Question

This is a graphic question just to forewarn. Usually during my period my cervix is low, firm, and open. I was late for my period and had numerous symptoms of being pregnant and even had one test show a potential positive. I was going to confirm with my doctor but he wouldn't take me until I was two weeks late. I started spotting last night and then this morning the bleeding got heavier I use the instead cups as well as tampons since this morning around 11am I have gone through one and a half instead cups and a tampon and have bled through both of those and it is bright bright red blood with heavy cramping on one side and tenderness in my stomach with severe bloating followed with increased sensitivity to my breast more so than before and extreme fatigue most if not all of these things I am going through now are not normal period symptoms for me, I don't know what to do my doctor said that I shouldn't worry unless I saturate three pads in less than four hours but I think I am

bleeding far too much. My cervix is low and super soft almost squishy and the opening is closed and the internal vaginal area feels really swollen. My husband and I have not had sex lately within the last few days so that couldn't have caused the vaginal swelling. I don't know what to do I am really worried I have never been through something like this before and really need help. I know I should go to the hospital but my doctor advised against it, he knows though that I have had one previous miscarriage before but says he doesn't think that is what it is and told me to not be so paranoid. But I have never bleed this much before especially on the first day of my period this is for sure not normal for me
WHAT SHOULD A CERVIX BE LIKE WHEN ON YOUR PERIOD does the description of mine sound ok to you PLEASE HELP NEED SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE

Answer 1

I'm so sorry. It sounds to me like you are having a miscarriage. If you had a positive pregnancy test, you were almost certainly pregnant. If the bleeding continues, you should see a doctor. If you get a fever or start to feel ill, you should go to urgent care or the ER.

IF YOUR INTUITION IS TELLING YOU TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL, GET TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!!!!

Answer 2

Well, you might not want to hear this but, you have to get a second opinion. My mom had a doctor just like that ignorant one, (by what you say he sounds very unsympathetic) and my mom almost died at birth of my brother, and had severe menstrual problems after giving birth to my brother(who had bad complications that now affect him severley b/c of the doctors malpractice), and for four months her doc. told her not to worry, so she was like you, and fig. if her own doc. who said she was ok, then she must be. but she fainted on the floor, b/c she was on the brink of TSS turns out she was having her period in side of her cervix and almost died AGAIN. Needless to say there was countless other things he did wrong that she now knows she should have seen as signs, and she eventually sued him b/c of other serious complications with that and birth problems, and of course she didn't win, and the guy had 4 other cases against him the same time. He's still in practice. Go figure. Just be careful, don't sit around. Your life is more precous than that. Why wouldn't he want u to go to the ER?? Very strange.

Answer 3

I am not a doctor, but it looks like you may have had an early miscarriage. If the bleeding continues, I would immediately go to the emergency room as you could hemmorage. I don't understand why your doctor didn't call you in his office for a cosultation and exam. After something like this happening, you could also need a D & C. So don't delay, get to the emergency room right away and they will check you out, consult with your doctor and they will stop the bleeding right away. I wish you luck.

sweety get your self to the E.R. fast! dont worry about cutting off the computer just go!!
A threatened miscarriage is when the woman is showing physical signs that she may or may not be experiencing a miscarriage. The most common physical sign of a threatened miscarriage is vaginal bleeding, spotting or a blood-stained discharge. The blood can be bright red (fresh), pink (very light) or brownish in colour (old blood from a few days previous), with the amount varying from woman to woman. It may be a few spots on your underwear, or just something you notice when wiping yourself after going to the toilet. If the bleeding is heavy, it may be enough to soak a sanitary pad. Occasionally, there will also be some mild cramping, or period-like pain and/or backache.

NOTE:Be aware that many women experience very mild cramping, twinges and/or period-like pain, backache and sometimes unusual sensations in their lower abdomen during early pregnancy. Unless there is bleeding associated with these sensations or the pain becomes severe, it is usually related to the uterus growing and changing and generally nothing to be concerned about.

A threatened miscarriage is just that, your body is 'threatening' to miscarry. However, it can be hard to know if these early signs are the beginning of an 'inevitable miscarriage', where the bleeding continues and the baby is lost, or whether it is early pregnancy 'spotting' that can occur, with the pregnancy continuing normally. During a threatened miscarriage the woman's cervix remains closed, but if her cervix opens, the miscarriage becomes 'inevitable'. The bleeding may occur once only or perhaps several times over a period of days or weeks, usually during the first 16 weeks of pregnancy. Occasionally, the bleeding will continue after 20 weeks of the pregnancy (then being referred to as an 'antepartum haemorrhage').

Vaginal bleeding occurs in about 30% of pregnancies and can sometimes not even be related to the pregnancy itself. The bleeding may be caused by an infection, hormonal changes, a bleeding polyp or rubbing of the softer cervix during sexual intercourse. However, in most cases the cause of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy remains unknown. (You can read more in bleeding during early pregnancy). About 50% of women who experience bleeding during early pregnancy will continue to go on and have a healthy baby, with the remaining 50% of women experiencing a miscarriage at some stage after the bleeding starts.

What should I do? If you experience any bleeding during your pregnancy you should contact your local doctor, midwife or obstetrician (if you have booked with one). Otherwise you can contact your local hospital or the maternity hospital where you intend to have the baby. Depending on the amount of bleeding you are experiencing, your caregiver may:

Advise you to 'wait and see', particularly if the bleeding is just small amounts of spotting in the early weeks.
Ask you to come and see them for a physical check up. This may entail them using a speculum to look at your cervix. If the cervix is open, then the pregnancy will probably go on to miscarry. If the cervix is closed, then it is more likely that the pregnancy will continue (but this is not guaranteed, as the cervix may open later in time). If the pregnancy is more than 12 weeks advanced, it may be possible for the caregiver to find the baby's heartbeat using a Doppler machine. However, a heartbeat is often difficult to detect this way until about 14 to 18 weeks of the pregnancy. An ultrasound is the preferred way to detect the baby's heartbeat between 7 and 14 weeks.
Organise for you to have an ultrasound during the next few days (if the bleeding is light) or as soon as possible if the bleeding is heavy. This will check to see if the baby's heartbeat is present (although the baby's heart beat is not able to be detected by an ultrasound until about 7 to 8 weeks of the pregnancy and the baby is usually too small to be seen if less than 6 weeks pregnant). The ultrasound will also be able to measure the size of the baby to see if this correlates with your expected stage of pregnancy.
Advise you to go to the hospital if the bleeding is very heavy. You will probably have an ultrasound in the hospital to see if your baby is OK and you may be asked to stay in hospital overnight if the bleeding isn't settling. If the baby has died, then your caregiver may recommend a D&C operation to slow the bleeding. Or if the bleeding settles they may take a 'wait and see' approach. Sometimes heavy bleeding is caused by the miscarriage of one baby from a multiple pregnancy (for example one twin or one triplet). If this is the case you will probably be admitted to hospital, given an ultrasound and observed, until the bleeding settles.

Experiencing a threatened miscarriage is a time of immense uncertainty and anxiety for parents. Especially if all you can do is wait and hope that the bleeding will stop and that your baby will be all right. If the ultrasound shows that your baby is alive and growing, or if their heartbeat is able to be heard, this can be reassuring. However, most parents find it hard to relax and enjoy the pregnancy until the bleeding stops and this may take several days or weeks.

In the past, women were advised to take 'complete bed rest' (at home or in hospital), even for very light bleeding or if they had experienced other miscarriages in the past. This was aimed at preventing the miscarriage. However, current research suggests that bed rest DOES NOT prevent miscarriage. At present, the general advice for a threatened miscarriage is to avoid very strenuous activity and possibly sexual intercourse, until the bleeding has stopped.

Answer 5

Cervix stays the same. Your only sluffing away the lining of the uterus during menses. Sounds like a miscarriage dear. Go to the doctor and let them check you. Go now okay....(RN)

I think you should go to the hospital. It sounds like you know deep down something isn't right, and in my mind it's better to go to hospital and find out all is well, than to not go when you may have a serious problem.
