PREGNANT AND STILL MENSTRATING.
Stella good morning, i'm sorry if my mail is coming in late but I am so worried and I no there are a lot of mothers and doctors here. Please, I went for a test because my period was late and I started noticing changes, it came out that I was pregnant, two days ago, I started seeing blood, I go googled it and felt it was spotting but it became heavier, so I went to the hospital yesterday, the doctor said since I wasn't feeling any pains and the blood wasn't in lumps I should go on bed rest that it may be stress related.
I woke up this morning, and I realized its flowing like my period, I don't no if it's possible to menstrate when you are pregnant, please who has experienced it, i'm just 5weeks and I need to know if my baby is safe.
Please post in doctors in the house. Please I am so worried. Thank you.
Very interesting

Now I'm sure my baby is safe. Thank u all
DeleteHi. Im a resident doctor in obstetrics and gynecology. Ur condition is not normal. Bleeding in pregnancy can never be a normal thing. There are possibilites: it could be a 1st trimester misscariage, an ectopic pregnancy, an implantation Bleeding. What u need to do now is to run a pelvic scan, preferably a transvaginal ultrasound that will assess the location of the pregnancy. All the best
DeleteYou have nothing to worry about...I think it's normal cos I had the same experience with my last baby...
ReplyDeleteMine continued till 23 weeks sef...
Some people can kill with their comic relief sha
Delete*Larry was here*
Madam, what are you still doing at home? Get your ass up and go for a scan quickly.
ReplyDeletePoster, U re already stressed, plz be clam n hope 4 d best.
ReplyDeleteDear poster, I had a very good friend of mine who saw her monthly due(mestration) till the sixth month of her pregnancy.the funny thing was that, she never knew she was preggy until till d sixth month and that was when she found out about her pregnancy.this october her baby girl will be two yrs old so poster calm down and relax ur self
DeleteComplain to your doctor if you are so scared...
ReplyDeleteDoctorssss, abeg make una come out asap
ReplyDelete*Larry was here*
And your doctor could not help you okay
ReplyDeleteGo for a scan to make sure ur baby is ok. Although I heard that some women see their period for a while during pregnancy, while others even see it all through.
ReplyDeleteSafe delivery in advance dear.
@poster
DeleteI really do not have a personal experience with the heavy bleeding part.
I have consistently experienced implantation bleeding which is very light and for a couple of days...
Please go for a scan dear.

ReplyDeleteBlige, your I too know is just too much! that's why u got F9 all through.

On point comment anonymous. Is dis blog a hospital? U get different opinion in d end u will still have to c a doctor. Stay there and be joking with ur life. Pple r just unnecessarily foolish. Stay there and be waiting for bvs to to tell u what to do about ur health.

ReplyDeleteI really feel like insulting you. Just dont worry. Sit down there. My friend, will you wear a pad and find your way to the hospital??
ReplyDeleteyes its possible most woman menstruate while preggy, although its rare but its possible don't worry u would carry our baby to full term and "you go born am safely no cs for you"
ReplyDeleteOnly u said 'most' women, only you said it's 'rare'. Wuz strong witew?
DeleteMost women???
Deleteif you are still worried, go to government hospital or LUTH to check. Am sure your baby is still ok
ReplyDeleteYes,some women.
ReplyDeleteA friend didn't know she was preggies cos her grandma(period) always came like clockwork.By the time she started feeling preggy,she was 3months+ gone.
If your doc feel you are ok,you are ok then.
Just let him know if something changes.
Happy Pregnancy

ReplyDeleteIt's very possible o.
ReplyDeleteI saw my period on time, but I kept putting on weight, my boobs felt tender, my sense of smell heightened, my appetite was something else, infact, my whole body felt foreign to me. I decided to have a PT done, and viola! POSITIVE!
I had to take care of it. As I'm still single and not ready for that.
So poster, Idi very possible.
Anon 12:31, so you proud that you aborted the baby? God have mercy on you

ReplyDeleteIt's well.. . My sis bled for 5 months straight while she was preggy.. It stopped in the sixth month
ReplyDeleteUseless family.
DeleteNo wonder your mum put you on contra. Loose people
Anon 12:54, are you mad or what? If you have issues with Miss mae why not go face her one on one or get a real name. Nonentity!
DeleteBut are they useless in their family?

DeleteJesus anon.
DeleteWas that really necessary?
Shut up all of you
DeleteEziokwu!!! See finishing for mz mae n family.
DeleteDon't just go and see a general practitioner, go and see an O & G doctor. Will be in the best position to give u answers to a question. I knw of people menstruating during early pregnancy. But still get an O n G doc opinion. Thank you
ReplyDeleteExcept if its miscarriage. Menstruating during pregnancy is common. Infact my younger sis was on her period d wwhole 9 months, she didnt even know she was pregnant until a month to delivery, her stomach was as flat as d wall, she was soo young 18yrs. Dad was furious
ReplyDeleteMy friend saw her period while preggy even my cousin too and they all gave birth to BBBs. You won't lose your preggy in Jesus name - Amen
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of urgency please go and do a pwlvic scan as it might be an ectopic pregnancy or an inevitable miscarriage
ReplyDeleteAm not a Dr. but as a woman and a mother, I dont think it's right. Just do as d Dr. said but if by next month it repeat it self, i will advise u to get rid of it to avoid given birth to imbecile or not well developed baby.
ReplyDeleteHaba.....the way people talk on this blog na wa!
DeleteSmh
DeleteLmao
DeleteIt is a possible experience....
ReplyDeleteWhile i was in school my rummy was preggy she didnt know.she was a very fat person and so it didnt show and she saw her period all through the 9 months of the preggy..
When she was at home for break she felt like urinating...as she went to the toilet to urinate she saw a baby's head..she SCREAMED and her mum rushed to the toilet , she was delivered of the baby at home before taken to the hospital.
WHEN WE RESUME THE NEXT SEMESTER WE SURPRISE AS WE SEE HER DEY BREAST FEED SMALL BABY....
A lot of people will think you are lying.. but that shit is so real... we have even discussed it on this same platform.
DeleteAm happy a Nigerian has recounted a live experience...it so happens especially with very fat people..or people suffering from diseases with conflicting symptoms.
Yes. I will continue dealing with all of you that misuse me
DeleteIs very abnormal, but since u are on bed rest no problem but make sure u don't stress ur self too much n ur medical attention shld be top most priority
ReplyDeleteIs vry possible to be pregnant n stil b seeing ur period since u'v gon 2 d hospital there s notin 2b worried about
ReplyDeleteGod will bless those praying for the fruit of the womb jst as He has blessed u amen
Omo I advise u see a doc n also run scan 2b certain it's not ectopic or som oda tin causing it..wish u gud health n Safe delivery
ReplyDeleteIt could also be an Ectopic pregnancy, how far along are you?
ReplyDeleteVisit a Doctor
ReplyDeleteMy wife bled till about the 7th month and I understand how it feels to be worried but just relax and be prayerful, am certain you and your baby are just fine.
ReplyDeletepls run to the hospital
ReplyDeleteBlood coming out while pregnant is not mensuration please people, its called bleeding. Bleeding while pregnant is very common, it can be serious or UN serious please go and see an obstetrician to abstain the cause. If you bleed while pregnant it might be a sign of miscarriage or nothing, may be its the fetus trying to attach. It is not normal to bleed while pregnant so go and check it out. Being common does not make it right or normal.
ReplyDeleteOfcourse it cannot be "Mensuration".
Delete"Mensuration" and "menstration" are different.
Hahahahaha
DeleteI actually laughed out loud!
You are cray babe @Quiksilver
Person learning every day on dis blog. Madam u and ur child are safe IJN.
ReplyDeleteNne go for transvaginal sonography to know if tz an ectopic pregnancy or not....IT IS NOT NORMAL I think
ReplyDeletePls go back to ur doctor let them do an ultrasound to be sure u are not miscarrying d baby already. All d best
ReplyDeleteIt is well.
ReplyDeleteit normal some people expirence that during their pregnancy but still u need to be careful so that u will not lose the baby
ReplyDeleteof course you are not worried....if you are worried coming to ask for advise on a blog will not be the first thing you do....its not every type of medical issue you get sound advise from blogs...mschweeeeeew
ReplyDeletego to the hospital dear, i was preggy and bleeding, i went to the hospital, did a scan and found out that i had an ectopic, i had to go for emergency surgery immmediately. i pray that wont be ur portion, buh go to the hospital to be sure about ur condition. btw i have a friend that bled for 5mths, when she was preggy, and she had a noraml baby. so its a 50 50 , its only ur doctor that can knw 4 sure. wish u a safe pregnancy n delivery.
ReplyDelete@Poster,Nothing will happen to ur baby IJN.
ReplyDeleteI may not hv the time go thru other posts comments but not for "Drs in d house" as i must learn something from it,as am learning from this.
I once witnessed where a medical practitioner was advising a woman to have her womb washed ,thou d woman insisted she will not.(she has been seeking for a baby for yrs)
And that was my first time of hearing such case.
After d whole drama i quietly went and inquired from a nurse why d washing of d womb and the nurse told me she was pregnant and bleeding every month(as i learnt from here that it's called bleeding.Lol!)
Now my qstn is can this bleeding leads to terminating the pregnancy or was d Dr. wrong? Actually i dont know d extend that leads to d advice and i wish i no dat woman, I wld ve love to no what happened to that baby.
Pls i need an answer from d experienced BVs or a Dr. too.
MYTH: That people menstruate during pregnancy (it is not true but women can bleed at any time during pregnancy)
ReplyDeleteFACT: Bleeding during pregnancy is abnormal. The usual causes of early pregnancy bleeding include all the spectrum of abortion (like threatened, inevitable and incomplete abortions), ectopic gestation and gestational trophoblastic disease (molar pregnancy). Abortion is probably the most common cause. threatened abortion simply means there is a threat to the pregnancy but your cervix is still closed, bleeding is not much (spotting or like your typical minimal menstrual flow) with little or no abdominal pain. it is the only type that can be salvaged.
ADVICE: let a doctor examine and investigate you to confirm you are pregnant, determine the cause of the bleeding and treat you accordingly.
Naah u so wrong. Shrinking fibroid can cause bleeding as a result of low level of ostrogen
DeleteIf it's flowing like a period it's not normal you need to see a doctor spotting expecially if it is brownish red can be expected but fresh blood this early needs doctors attention.
ReplyDeleteGo Get A Scan done, the placenta may be low lying.
ReplyDeleteAdeyemi MD -placenta at 5wks? I bow to you oh.
DeleteStella I don't know if it's too late to respond to this post but I read the posters response to some of the comments above and she's stated that the responses have calmed her and now she knows her baby is safe. I you can post this, please do. I'm a doctor, so I can tell her for a fact that bleeding that is very much like menstrual bleeding suggests that all is not well. She needs to book herself in for a scan asap to verify that a fetal heartbeat is still present. Only then can she now commenced bed rest. If there's no fetal heartbeat on ultrasound, then the pregnancy is no longer viable and she will bleed as if she was having a period for the next fee days. The purpose of a scan is to also check for the presence of any abnormalities. So poster, whilst I'm not trying to scare you, please get a scan done.
ReplyDeleteIt's not normal to bleed but it happens. Your case and the next person's case may not be the same. ll suggest you do a scan immediately and take the result to a doctor. From the result, a solution ll be found.
ReplyDeleteWhat u saw is not your period. It is fibroid shrinking as a result of your pregrancy. If u do a transviginal scan,they will discover subsecous fibroids outside your uterus. Lucky u that they are shrinking due to the absences of ostrogen and your change in diet. The blood will continue until the fibroid shrink depending on size. After your pregnancy they might grow back , so please do a transviginal scan to monitor your uterus.
