[|Human|] yesterday night all of a sudden I had a gush of blood. I am 8 months pregnant. I went to the hospital and was hooked up to a monitor and the baby s heart beat was fine. I was hooked up to the monitor for 4 hours. Was only seen by the nurses, no doctor ever came. I was sent home then. I didn t have any pain or contractions. I was told it probably was a blood vessel that burst. There is still a very small amount of blood like spoting. It looks like it is drying up. Is this common. I never heard of this before and can t find anything on line about this. Only about placental aburption. I am very afraid since the doctor didn t actually see me. I will call my doctor tomorrow morning. What do you think?
[|AI|]  Hi, Bleeding after 28 weeks of pregnancy is due to Abruption of placenta (early separation of the after birth) or Placenta prefix (where the afterbirth is attached to the lower part of the womb). Pain, abdominal cramps and changes in fetal heart beat are seen in abruption. Placenta prefix generally presents as painless vaginal bleeding. You need to be thoroughly evaluated by an ultrasound examination, to see position of placenta and see if there is any collection behind the placenta. Also, blood should be cross-match and kept available for you, in case excess bleeding occurs again and blood test to see for hemoglobin and clotting studies also are needed. Please contact your gynecologist soon. Hope this helps. Regards.
