 Topic: Bleeding week 20
Posted: 23 January 2011 at 4:33pm |

About an hour ago I noticed fresh blood on the paper when wiping. It wasn't enough to have to wear a pad, and it has completely stopped now.... Should I be concerned? What could have caused it?
This is the first time I have had any bleeding in the pregnancy.

Not sure, but if you are concerned I'd chat to your LMC

Have you had your anatomy/20week scan? Maybe you have a low lying placenta. otherwise you can have break through bleeding, from all sorts of harmless things.
If its not enough to wear a pad it tends to be nothing to worry about, but you should probably call your midwife anyways

My midwife seems to be impossible to reach on sundays... I have an appointment with her in 2 days though.
I had the scan a week ago, in looked like the placenta was lying a bit low at first, but after I was told to empty my bladder it wasn't anymore:P
Haven't had any more bleeding and no pain, and I'm feeling the baby move.

Had you had sex recently? That can sometimes cause a wee bit of spotting.
It's probably fine, but you could always try healthline if your LMC is hard to get hold of. (I'd speak to her about that though - you might end up going into labour on a Sunday yet!!)

Haven't had anyone pooking around in there for a while:P...Although..(TMI sorry), could using a vibrator(just on the outside) cause bleeding?

any 'O' which leads to uterus cramping could lead to a small amount of bleeding if your cervix got a bit angry at the contractions
