<<When I wiped, I noticed blood on the tissue. Not a whole lot, but not a little

either. It was bright red and I immediately began to panic. >>

Layci,

I'm so sorry you had to go through this! And I'm so happy to hear all is ok

(minus the sinus infection and possible kidney infection- ugh). Also

particularly nice to know your doctor took you seriously and saw you right

away--so important. By the way, did the doctor give any explanation (other than

stress) as to why you bled? I've been particularly curious about bleeding

during pregnancy and UD women (what happens to the lining from the un-pregnant

uterus during pregnancy all that time?).

I'll continue to send good thoughts your way!

Thanks for the concerns, guys.

In the middle of the night last night, I got up to go to the

restroom and the blood was there again. Thank goodness I had seen

the doctor just hours before who told me the baby and my cervix was

ok or else I would have really been stressing. The blood has gone

away again and after talking to my mom, we really think that I do

have a kidney or bladder infection. I didn't mention to my dr.

yesterday when I saw her that my back had been hurting, but after

she said that it was possible the blood was from a bladder

infection, that made me think that she was right. The reasons are

because

1. The blood only shows up when I go to the bathroom. It isn't

coming on it's own like when you have a period and it hasn't

appeared in my underwear either.

2. I've had no cramping or pain.

3. When the dr. did the trans vag. sono and checked my cervix, there

was no blood on the sonogram wand or on her glove.

4. So far today, the blood isn't showing up during the day when I am

drinking lots of fluids, only at night when it has been awhile since

I've gone to the bathroom or had anything to drink.

So, I am going to call the dr. on Monday and tell her that I think I

need to have a urine culture done. I'm almost positive it is some

kind of kidney infection because why else would my back be hurting

like this and why else would the blood just disappear? Anyway, it's

enough to freak a pregnant woman out but at least I know that my

baby is ok. Again, thanks for all of your concerns. I'll let you

know when we figure out exactly what's going on.

i think you're right about the bladder/kidney infection... but i don't think

you should let it grow until monday!! you should be able to call theier

on-call service and have the doc call in something for you... better to nip

it in the bud so to speak...
