*hugs* YellowJellyBean!! It must be such a stressful time for you, but hopefully it will all be okay! x If after you see your OB and it is determined to be a low lying placenta/high risk pregnancy, I highly recommend that you register at Al Wasl Hospital. It is much better equipped to deal with high risk pregnancies and preterm labours, and has the most advanced NICU unit in Dubai. Unfortunately, it is no longer free, but the cost still remains *more* affordable than the private hospitals - check with your insurance, you might be able to do pay and claim. Here's hoping you get some reassuring news tomorrow x Thanks Lemondrops :) Yes I think its definately a good idea to register with them, will be looking into it asap, thanks for bringing that up. Hoping for good news tomorrow, will update. :) X

Feet are well and truly up and take-out has just been scoffed :D. I went to the doctor over the road in the first instance, just to see what was happening, but I felt much better after I'd seen my own ob/gyn. Hope you get the same reassurance tomorrow.

Dubai71 - that would be GREAT! DubaiCat - Thanks alot for sharing with me, bleeding has stopped now, however I will go to my OB/GYN tomorrow as soon as she can see me. I went to emergency room, will feel more reassured when i see my doc I suppose. <em>edited by YellowJellyBean on 13/05/2011</em>

That would be me and it was a) incredibly reassuring and b) super-helpful! Are you a negative blood type? If you are, check with your doctor if you need an Anti-D injection as you were bleeding. I had some bleeding this week (12 weeks pregnant). I saw my doctor and she scanned me and saw that a corner of the placenta had come away, but said that it would likely resolve itself. I'm now on Cyclogest to keep everything relaxed in there. Feet up and rest.

YellowJellyBean- if you post your email I'll send you a short article I saw on this earlier this week and sent to one of the other girls on here. I know she found it reassuring.

Stovetop- Thanks so much for the info. It does sound like that is what it is. Bleeding has almost all stopped so Im just gonna get as much rest as possible for a while and try my best to stop worrying. I actually agree with you, about the Duphaston (I know its not prescribed in the uk which puts me off taking it) Will just have to see how it goes :) Thanks again

I had bleeding too at 14 weeks andit was due to a low placenta. In all probability, as your uterus grows to accommodate your growing baby, the placenta will also move up. In the rare cases that it doesn't, it's called placenta previa and all it meas is that you might need a c section. If your bleeding has stopped, I would worry about it. Though just to be safe, make sure you don't lift anything heavy, no intercourse and no bumpy car rides for the next 2 months or so. I was given Duphastan too again, but I didn't take it because it increased my nausea like the devil. And a lot of gynaecs agree that Duphastan has not much effect after 12 weeks. Of course, it was my personal decision to not take it and am not advocating it to you.

Oh YellowJellyBean- how frightening for you. I don't have any advice, having not experienced this, but would say that you do hear a lot of people bleeding in perfectly healthy pregnancies and everything works out just fine. Sending you lots of baby dust... Thankyou :)

Ladies, I need abit of advice. Im almost 14 weeks now. Had my NT scan a few days ago and everything was perfect. Early this morning 5 am I woke up bleeding quite alot so went straight to emergency room at medcare. Had an examination and a scan. Everything was perfect on the scan, heartbeat was strong. Ive been told to rest, take duphaston, it is probably due to low placenta etc. I dont have any cramps at all, feel fine just so worried. It has slowed down alot and Im hoping it will stop completely..what would you do, should I go else where and check again? Its my first baby so not much experience except google which is telling me it shows the signs of placenta previa. Would they not tell me that at my NT scan though? Im so confused and worried :(
