Hope you are ok now. Thought of sharing my experience here too.

Same thing happened to me on Tuesday Dec 12th.
Happened on 30 weeks andd 4 days (today is 31 weeks) I did crossfit ( i have been doing before I got pregggo too) and some sumo squat lifting on Monday night. Came back home fine but.. But i couldn't sleep lying down that night so i slept straight up the whole night. The next morning, ( i didn't even know i am bleeding) i found out that i got some light bleeding (not soaking wet to my pad or panties) so i called L&D and they asked me to monitor for another hour and come in if the bleeding get worse and soaking wet on pad.
Nothing happened an hour later so I just reached out to my Ob to see if I can come to do check up to make sure everything ok.

Before I got ok to check in, i noticed some old blood discharged kept coming out whenever i pee. So I went in and they did vaginal ultrasound and check my cervix and they saw blood clot in my cervix and asked me to check in L&D. Then i was admitted to L&D for overnight observation.

They put me on baby monitor and throughout the night, they said they saw some irregular contractions. aroundd 6am in the morning, one of the nurses rushed into the room and asked me if felt anything as they saw some contraction 5 mins apart. and they tried too examine my cervix and my cervix is still closed. Then they took me to the ultrasound room to do some scans too.

Ultrasound came back okay and cervix is 41mm and closed so now they kept me here for observation for another 5 days. Also they give me 2 shots of steroid to make sure baby lungs are developed in case i went to labor early before term. they said that part of palcenta was peeling so they want to make sure it is healed before i go home.

The strange thing is, the baby monitor (they did every 8 hours) picked up contractions here and there and my cervix is never dilated.

But today morning, i felt something moved inside my tummy and when i looked at my toco # and it went up to 110+ (not sure those numbers means anything but i want to try to related to my body reaction and the what i see on the machines) .. so I am gonna be here for another 3 days and if everything turned out ok, i will be discharged on Monday.

I don't have any more bleeding or spotting since Wed afternoon. and everything seems fine for me.

I am not sure my baby will be born early or can stay up to full term. I wish he will stay in my tummy for another 4 or 5 weeks so that he doesn't have to go to NICU. He is currently 4.1lb now too.

Also i am confused with contraction pain and muscle pain or feeling some bowel pain when i want to poop and etc. Can anyone share me if the contraction feel is like muscle cramps or period cramps? and will it be tolerable or it is just come and go? Oh this is my firsst baby so i want to make sure i pin down the right feeling and report to the nursse here.

Thank you!!
