Oh wow hun you need to go see your doctor. Bleeding in this stage of pregnancy is not usually normal. Go to your doctor, asap!

What did they do at the ER? What did they say was the cause of the bleeding? I don't think its normal either! Go to Labor and Delivery (the section of the hospital where you have the baby), not the ER!

Have you ever been diagnosed with placenta previa? Did they do a sonogram?

Ok I have my pregnancy book in front of me now, and this is exactly what is says :


Signs of Pre-term labor

-Change in vaginal discharge such as change in color of mucus, leaking of clear fluid, spotting or bleeding, or a vaginal discharge with a fish-like odor.

There were other symptoms listed as well but I only gave you the discharge part as that's what you were asking about.
