What Does Blood Discharge During Pregnancy Indicate?

NI am 17 w 3 d pregnant. I bled for about 5 hours nonstop on May 12th. I got an ultrasound and the baby was fine and my cervix was closed. On June 1st I got an ultrasound and they found a subchorionic bleed that measured around 7 cm. I ve been in pelvic rest ever since but can t really do bed rest because I have a one year old son at home. I have an ultrasound scheduled for Friday and I m going crazy. I haven t bled not once after that one time I bled. But I ve had some cramping specially if I m moving around too much or if I have to pee. But today when I went to pee I wiped up some old blood. It was very very minimal. And haven t wiped any more after. The thing is that I have a trip out of the country next week and I had already made plans for this baby moon. I don t have help at home so I felt that seeing some family would help. The doctor told me I can travel but online a lot of people say it can be dangerous. I just wanted to get a second opinion. I will get an ultrasound on Friday to check the bleed. And back in my country I am friends with the head of the obgyn department in my city. What do you think? Is it ok to travel? Does it seem the bleeding might reabsorb?

Hi,

It might be a normal implantation bleeding in the first trimester of pregnancy but at 17 weeks it might be a sign of placental bleed (abruptio placentae) or a sign of miscarriage. See your clinician for an ultrasound study for fetal well being and location of placenta.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
