Hi Cynthia, sounds so familiar, with my first pregnancy I spotted and =
bled until about my fourth month, in fact I did not even realise I was =
pregnant until I was over two months due to the bleeding. I was put on =
hormone injections twice a week for 12 weeks - my bottom was black and =
blue. Also scans all the time and they could see an area that looked =
like a clot but we never found out what it was. My waters broke at 32 =
weeks. With my second pregnancy I had no bleeding but waters broke at =
24 weeks. The doctor did not even attempt to find out what caused the =
early rupture - unfortunately, I will never be able to find out if it =
will happen again as I was strongly advised to be sterilised, I am now =
40, had a classic caesar and with my history of early rupture of =
membrances I was told it is far too risky to try again. So, thank =
goodness, I have my two beautiful boys and I will have to wait for them =
to produce a little grand daughter for me.
Regards, Ina

Jill. I had quite a few episodes of spotting and even some downright =
heavy
bleeding throughout my first and second trimesters. My OB was reluctant =
to
try the aspirin because she thought it might agrivate the bleeding. =
That's
all, I think. By the way, the cause of the bleeding could never ever be
determined. I think I had about a dozen sonos and the placenta always
looked fine. There was one sono where we could see a clot floating =
around
but I never passed it. Evidently the placenta looked fine upon delivery =
and
there was no major clot to be found. Also, they never did come up with =
an
explanation of why my water broke early either. They cultured me a =
couple
of times and there was no infection. Very strange.
