I found out I am pregnant about 2weeks ago my husband and i are so elated
(you thought it was me right?lol)
cos we've been married for over a year. I was diagnosed with hormonal imbalance and was supposed to take some drugs to help me ovulate, then miraculously it just happened when we least expected.
The issue now is that I noticed some spot of blood when I urinate and wipe .
I want to know if anybody else has experienced this before and what they did.
I would have gone to the hospital but strike is going on right now. I can't see my
doctor until next week.
*I think you should go on bed rest oh....call your Doctor abeg.
Call ur doctor ASAP or visit a private clinic!! No waste tym oh!!!
ReplyDeleteIt could be implantation bleeding which is normal. Google for more info and make time to see your Dr.
DeleteMy dear hurry to a doc I. Same happened to me last month. It started with blood spotting, I ignored it until I started to bleed everyday. In short after my scan the foetus chances of survival was below Zero. So my doc suggested evacuation. So pls see a doc fast. I don't wish u same at all o. I used a private hospital anyway.
DeleteIt is normal and yes could be implantation bleeding. Had those with all my 3 pregnancies.
DeleteIt is not normal. That some people had spotting and the baby was eventually okay does not make it normal, if it is right before or after you missed your period it is normal. Go and see a doctor asap, mine started when I was eight weeks gone and I lost the baby. Pls go and see a doctor now. May God protect you and the baby.
DeleteMadam pls go to a private hospital and get ur answers. Dont joke witj your health
DeleteIts happening to me to right now, am 4weeks gone and am scared don't know what to do had to leave my place of work.
ReplyDeletePlease go to the nearest hospital dear. There is a progesterone injection they would give you, that would do it. And rest!! No tight outfits please. This is the time most miscarriage happen. Goodluck
Deletesame thing happened to me when I was about 4weeks pregnant. In my case I called my friend who is a doctor and told him what was happening. He instructed me to rest, no lifting and to sit if I must do something minor instead of stooping. Lots of sleep and lying down for about 2weeks. It totally worked and I felt better. Pls whatever u do, u need lots of rest. May God keep ur baby safe in Jesus name, Amen
DeleteStrike? Pls get your husband to take you to a private hospital now! Yes,for some people,spotting occurs in early pregnancy,but you need to rule out complications.Also,you need to curb the spotting before it gets out of hand.God keep you through your trimesters.Amen!
ReplyDeleteStress can cause blood spotting during pregnancy. Since you can't get medical attention at the moment, I advice you take a self- bed rest until u are able to see your gynaecologist.
ReplyDeleteThis could be implantation bleeding which is normal during pregnancy but still check with your doctor to be on a safe side. it may also be a sign of miscarriage, dat cud be the nature's way of telling you to relax and pls stay off sex completely at the moment. All the best.
ReplyDeleteYesso pls stay off sex too esp in young pregnancies
DeleteI nd my hubby waited until about 4months o
Chances are it could be normal
It could be your body telling you to take a brk
It could als be a case UTI, this one you are bleedin with your pee
It could be a case of missed abortion, or sign of an early misscarriage. Which most women experience in first pregnancies though no one likes to discuss it
Whatever the case is, pls just pray about it
Cause prayer changes things
Implantation bleeding mostly occurs before u even miss ur period,actually causing one to think her period is coming out.i experienced that
DeletePls follow dis advice, am a witness. Infact I actually lost d pregnancy. Pls be careful honey I also have hormonal imbalance, tell dem 2 giv u d progesterone injection,rest n flee from sex!
Delete@iphie, that's so wrong, implantation bleeding can happen after you miss your period and some ladies even bleed till they are far gone. Personally I spotted till my second trimester.
DeletePoster, if the blood is dark brown in color then rest assured that's implantation but if it's bright red. Then go and see your doc.
Mumu so implantation will happen after pregnancy abi? Lol......anyway I blame all this foolish posters who will not go to hospital and be bringing medical issues here.....so poster u are stupid enough not to know that if govt hospitals are on strike then u need to go to a private clinic? Smh.....
DeleteIts normal in some women prolly it was two eggs that got fertilised and one failed to implant hence the blood.
ReplyDeleteI dont think is a good sign,please see a doctor immidately try a private hospital.good luck and may God see you through in jesus name amen.
ReplyDeleteYou need to rest fr a day or two n don't do anything streinous. Btw call a doc asap to b sure ur fine.
ReplyDeleteMy dear, it is well with you, there is actually nothing that the doctors can do at this early stage. All you can do is to try and get of your feet, take a break and speak life to your baby. And leave the rest to God. I gave had two miscarriages , the second one was hell, I walked my 4yr old son back from school, had my 1 year old on my back and my baby fell out. So im trying to tell you to rest and get of your feet. God bless
ReplyDeleteMrs J
She still needs to see a doctor
Deletecall your doctor or visit another hospital for a check up.
ReplyDeleteSweet,it's not normal in every sense in dat ure pregnant.
ReplyDeleteSince u said ure 2 weeks gone,it could b inplantation bleeding which is mild anyway.
It could b ectopic pregnancy,infection,tissue damage,appendix,kidney stone and all what not....
There are private hospitals in ur area,yeah?
U need to see a doctor ASAP b4 it results to miscarriage or sth more terrible.no one here can give u a better advice apart from your own GP.
Why wld doctors be on strike btw?
M amie spotting is very natural in sum pregnant women if nt al,buh like u said she shld go for checkup.
DeleteIt's normal in most cases during implantation . I saw mine(pinkish spotting) for almost five months.
DeleteHello dear , before ever coming to any blog to publish your please try to do a little not of research on Google. Had blood spot sometime back and said I she take a lot of rest and stay off sex with hubby for at least two weeks, if not will be at risk of losing the baby. Think you should try same and please visit a private hospital instead of waiting for striking govt workers.
ReplyDeleteStrike is going on. Is it only 1 hospital u know? Cant u pay extra money and go to a good private hospital that is not on strike to get checked out and be sure nothing is wrong? Please pray, go to a hospital, get scanned n do wjatever they advice, including rest!
ReplyDeletednt u hv any private doc,to see or evn cal on phone?
ReplyDeleteIt's very normal but please see a Doctor (O and G.)
ReplyDeleteIt is not normal , she has to see a doctor immediately.
Deletems k - I hope other comments and not just mine have educated you.
Delete"Bleeding in the early days of pregnancy is common, and is unlikely to harm your baby. About one in five mums-to-be have some bleeding in the first three months of their continuing pregnancy. It usually happens at about the same time that your period would have been due, and may last for a day or two."
As long as it's just spotting and not bleeding, you shld be fine. My wife noticed same when she was pregnant, she went gaga and went to a lab for scan to confirm the baby still dey. The fool that did the scan said she was going to have a miscarriage. She called me and started going paranoid. Left work, picked her up and went to see a Doctor @ a maternity clinic on Lagos Island. Doctor said she and the baby are fine and we should ignore the stupid lab attendant. My baby will be 1yr old in April. He is the cutest baby in the world with an amazing 'afro'.
ReplyDelete....Proud dad
Story of my life. Mine will be 1 year old next month. Poster, u need bedrest.
DeleteMe too mine is 4yrs old. Dear poster you will be fine. But pls go to private hospital to put your mind at rest.
DeleteHappy birthday in advance to ur lil 1 @ Hawt Mrs
DeleteYea, poster u need all the rest in the world and remove any negative thoughts coming to ur head. Holla @ us in 9mnths to come chop firewood flavored jollof rice.
....Proud dad
Mine too ll be 4 by April.. lol
DeleteCongrats @ proud Dad :) God is Great
DeleteHi stella,Thanx for always helping.I just want to ask ur bloggers if they have ever heard of ashermans syndrome before and if yes,if they have heard of successful treatment before and any idea of any hospital that can treat it
ReplyDeleteAshermans syndrome is scar tissue inside the lower layer of the wall of ur uterus. Pls go to Wikipedia or medical sites and read of it. No idea of any clinic. Look for a good gynae and take it from there. Good luck.
DeleteThis happened to ma sis when she was about 2 weeks pregnant too. She had to take a good rest and after 3 days it stopped and she had her baby after 9 months.
ReplyDeletePlease take a good rest and if after 2 days it continues, see a doc.
Pls, just try and do what Stella rightly advised. Congrats dearie. Fear not, God is in control
ReplyDeletepls go to ur doctor and be fast abt it.pls be prayerful,bcos evil pple does not like sometin gud.
ReplyDeleteRest,rest and rest..........eat balanced diet,reduce stress...take lots of water,fruits and vegetables......don't forget ur routine drugs I.e....folic acid,bcomplex and fesolate.......they help in proper formation of the child...they also help in d build up of blood.......they are really necessary to help the foetus especially during this its formative stage .....just go easy and once the strike z over........SEE YOUR DOCTOR....if the spotting increases b4 then,just go 2 a good hospital nearby for check up...........nothing would happen to ÐŽ☺ΰ and your baby
ReplyDeleteMy dear congrats. Am happy for you but read that lab result well if you will see WEAKLY positive. If so that prego most likely wont survive but if not hold on and keep praying then go for another test in 2 weeks. It happened to me. Wish you well.
ReplyDeleteI bled for 22 days straight after I found out I was pregnant. Everyday I will go for test to find out if I haven't miscarried. Everyday they will tell me not to put my mind on the pregnancy because it will most likely be a miscarriage. Guess what? I have a bouncing baby boy right now. Very handsome. My dear be very prayerful. Hold on to God. And don't stress yourself thinking about it. That one sef dey cause wahala. Don't just bother your head at all at all. Remove your fear from your mind. I wish you a safe delivery by faith.
ReplyDeleteDoctors in d house n experienced mums over t u.
ReplyDeleteI usually experience ds in d 1st trimester of my pregnancies, its called threatened abortion, n may be due to horminal imbalance in early pregnancy. just make sure u taking time to rest as much as possible, no sex for now, and stress of any forms. Its likely to persist till abt 12wks. But if d bleeding becomes heavy, abeg run go see ya DOC. U shall carry ur baby to term n deliver safely IJN. OYE
ReplyDeleteStellastica,I just vomitted my lunch @ the sight of this ur pix.....Poster,its normal....nothing to worry abt
ReplyDeleteis that you Linda of PMD Imsu?
DeleteYou sure need to go on Bed rest if its ONLY blood spotting, this is what Doctors will advise you to do, i had a similar experience twice during my first trimester and it was discovered that i stress myself to much so i was advised to go on Bed rest for 3 days.
ReplyDeleteHi dear,jst gave birth to my baby last month.i also spotted when I was abt 2weeks as well.I went straight to d hospital n I was asked to take sm days off wrk,desist frm having sex temporarily n take it easy with household chores..but what I did for myself was to register online on baby centre.the info I got there helped me with handling my pregnancy,childbirth n all.u meet other mothers there too.they send u daily,weekly updates abt d growth of ur baby in d womb n what to expect.Above all dear..always pray pray n pray..Good luck!waiting for when u share ur birth testimony!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteSpotting is normal in pregnancy for some women. Its implantation bleeding. Please get on the internet and do some reasearch if you don't have pregnancy books to read.
Its likely placenta previa or it may not be.
ReplyDeleteStella na wa for this story oooh. what of private hospitals. ..so she can't find a private hospital...hmmm I tire o
ReplyDeleteCongrats on ur pregnancy. Blood spotting is normal @ early stage of ur pregnancy, it's doesn't cause for any alarm. Ensure to rest well n abstain frm rough sex. I usually experience it anytime am pregnant n I have 4 kids. Relax babe!
ReplyDeleteMadam. Please I sent you a mail to help me post about where ivf can be done in lagos and how much. Thank you

DeleteGo to nairaland health section and check out the ivf thread.
DeleteIf ur just spotting and d bleeding isn't heavy then it's implantation bleeding.
ReplyDeleteU better visit a private hospital and stop waiting for ur doctor that is on strike.
ReplyDeleteit is normal in some cases. you need to rest some more like stella suggested. if you are very worried, you can go online and read up about it. I don't think there is anything to worry about so long as the blood is not bright red and not accompanied by pains or cramps.
ReplyDeleteI have also been diagnosed with hormonal imbalance and ovarian cysts. I am now pregnant with my second child so I know how you feel. just rest a lot and speak to your doctor.
All the best with the pregnancy. God who has started this will see you to the end.
My dear go for a scan as soon as possible,its one of the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy...
ReplyDeletePls go for a scan as soon as possible pls.its one of the signs of an ectopic pregnancy...pls I beg u go to a private hospital too
ReplyDeleteAll of you saying spotting is normal do u knw wat threatened abortion is? Madam poster wat happened to all d private clinics? Well I won't say its normal cos I'm 30weeks gone nd I didn't experience such .
DeleteMy dear go for a scan as soon as possible,its one of the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy...
ReplyDeleteOh dear!
ReplyDeletePlease see a doctor now!
Do not drive! Do not lift anything, just be in bed as Stella has rightfully said
You should have more than one doctor for emergencies, what if u are not in an area where your doctor stays at some point (like short trips) and u start having cramps, will u wait for your doctor to be back before u seek medical help?
Going by how delicate your hormone is, pls don't ever ignore any alarm, nothing wrong if it turns out to be a false alarm.
This 1st trimester is usually very delicate, I experienced it with my twins, I couldn't be too quick to get to the hospital and danger was averted by putting me on a weeks bed rest with d necessary medications.
Please don't ignore any alarm. You won't be penalized for reporting false alarm.
I wish you a smooth experience.
I had it when I conceived my first child. I went for a scan and was told it's the baby placenta positioning that caused the bleeding ...i was adviced to stay off sex and rest well. I stopped blood spotting after my 1 st Trimester. Had my daughter at full term.I suggest you see a Doctor...you would be alright
ReplyDeletePregnancy comes with fear I don't know why.The grace to pull through I pray for you poster.
I SPOTTED FROM WEEK 1 TO WEEK 8. INFACT WEEK 8 WAS SOMETHING ELSE, LIKE I WAS HAVING A PERIOD, I CRIED AND CRIED, BUT MY HUBBY GAVE ME SHOULDERS AND TOLD ME TO HAVE FAITH THAT NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. MY SON IS A YEAR OLD NOW,SPOTTING IS NORMAL IN EARLY PREGNANCIES UNTIL U ARE SPOTTIING HAVING AND IN LUMPS, U HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. ALSO TRY AND SEE UR GP
ReplyDeletewhile you wait to see your doctor, stay off sex till your pregnancy enters sixteen weeks.that is after your first trimester. there is no need to panic. discuss with your husband so that he will understand too if you both want the pregnancy to remain.
ReplyDeleteBed Rest.
ReplyDeleteStay off sex and stress.
Take water often.
Eat healthy.
Visit google.
And drag yourself to a good private clinic.
Stop GAMBLING with your life (and the baby's) by soliciting for advice on blogs and waiting for 'striking' doctors to resume.
Sumbo.
100 likes for this comment, if u value that pregnancy u won't sit down there and be sending post to Stella'blog seeking for advice when there is private hospital that you could run to see doctor or are you scared of the money you are going to spend?
DeleteFirst of all congratulations, you're going to be a mommy! God will protect you and keep you and your baby healthy during this pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteSecond of all, calm down. Spotting is normal for many women during the 1st trimester. I spotted during my 1st trimester, I too was scared, even went for a scan (at 5weeks 1 day) and troubled myself further when there was no fetal pole. But here I am. Nothing is wrong with me or my child. Spotting could be leftover from previous menstrual period, could be from implantation bleeding or ovarian cysts causing it. But when you can go to the doctor, it could also be an infection causing the bleeding.
If you're cramping severely, then there's an issue, go to a hospital, don't wait for a strike.
Be careful about what you eat now, avoid caffeine (Lipton tea o) avoid any drugs unless prescribed by your doctor.
Congrats again and good luck
If you can't see your doctor call him!
ReplyDeleteJus went thru mine this past weekend, am 12 weeks gone already.doh I have two kids but such never happened.
ReplyDeletePls avoid stress, don't shout and carry heavy loads, it could also b as a result of medications you have been taking before, pls stop all sorts of drugs except ur folic acids.there is really nothing doctors can do at this stage, pls take a lot of bed rest, no emotional thoughts or fights coz anything can trigger it. Above all pray and secure urbaby with the blood of Jesus, may u deliver like Hebrew women.
Stay off sex. Have complete bed rest. Pray to God, He will see u thru. I spotted early in my pregnancy. I prayed to God, saw my gynaecologist, she put me on bed rest n no sex. When on bed rest raise ur legs... God will see u thru..
ReplyDeleteI am not seeing my period for sbout 2months am not pregnant am 42years I don't no what's wrong. Readers can you tell me if you experience this.
ReplyDeleteI think you are beginning to experience menopause. Normally starts between 45 years to 55 years but can happen slightly earlier or later in some women.
DeletePoster,doctors are not on strike.its nurses and other health workers that are on strike.so go see your doctor ASAP.
ReplyDeleteMy Dear see a Doctor ASAP! Had such experience for two month and was told its normal by my Doctor but it persisted and had to go see another doctor who told me the foetus heartbeat has stopped a long time ago and had to be evacuated. I was so devastated. Pls learn from me and save ur baby
ReplyDeletei bled heavily for three months while pregnant but eventually gave birth to my son. Fibroid can also contribute to early stages of bleeding during pregnancy but check in with your doctor to be on the safe side.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...!This is what a close fwend of mine is goin thru.In her own case,she had missed 2periods she sometimes sees some pinkish or brownish blood.She did a scan and was told its an infection and was further rerrefered to do some more test,she tossed it aside.Now she did anoder scan and it says its not an infection and no pregnancy seen,but evry oda tins is normal.She had done blood test which came back positive...and scan says otherwise.Even if its an Ectopic pregnancy scan should be able to see.
ReplyDeleteAt d moment she had given up on her meds and resigned to faith cause she's left with no answers as to why the 2 months missed periods and no medical conclusion to wot is wrong.
She has an appointment next week with her GP b4 we know what to Name this phenomenon.
Meriedo
Dat picture is offensive. Some things should be kept private
ReplyDeleteMadam, seee a doc asAp, it may be implantation bleeding, buh there is probability that it is ectoic preggy, pls deal with it. D early stage.

My dear go and see a doc in a good private clinic till they call off the strike. Besides u always need a back up clinic when pregnant. So when u are in labour if they are still on strike u will wait beg the Labour to stop till they call it off????? Anyway the spotting may be something or nothing. U have to confirm. It happened to me in both my pregnancies saw my doc and was told to rest and all went well. Good luck
ReplyDeleteAnnon 5:58,it might be signs of menopause.its better u see a doctor instead of bringing health issue to blog.
ReplyDeleteOkija wife are u for real??? Ur story get as e be
ReplyDeleteAm telling u!! Dats d bitter truth of wot happened in my life 2004 nd 2005!!.........OKIJA WIFE
DeleteThere poster, spotting or bleeding during pregnancy is very common. It might be a sign miscarriage but most times its just implantation but you need to see a dr for proper scan as soon as possible, but more than anything you need plenty of rest.If the pregnancy is meant to stay it will no matter what but it is not no matter what u do u will definitely miss-carry. My prayer is with u, goodluck.
ReplyDeleteJust want to correct people that is saying spotting its normal, It is not normal rather use the word common. It is very common, almost every woman spot one time or another during pregnancy. pls go and see a dr for proper check
ReplyDeleteI hardly think its implantation bleeding, since she is already fully aware that she is pregnant. Isn't implantation bleeding often mistaken for actual period? Just go see a Gynae as soon as possible please. And get off your feet too and while off your feet, join your hands in ardent prayer. God who has given you this baby will shelter and protects its life.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck.
Please go see a Doctor who will recommend you for a scan. Don't take chances, Doctors know better. I pray you don't loose d pregnancy. I had the same experience last week but it is unfortunate I lost d baby. I had to be evacuated.
ReplyDelete
