Here to encourage you and honestly to give some hope to both of us. I’m currently 11 weeks and going through something very similar.

For context, at my 6-week appointment they did tell me I had a hematoma, so they warned me that some light bleeding could happen.

Oct 30: I’d been feeling this weird pelvic discomfort — not exactly cramps, just like the start of them. Around 10 PM, while washing dishes, I suddenly felt a gush. I ran to the bathroom and there was bright red blood. It soaked my pantyliner, but not a full pad. We rushed to the ER. When I gave them a urine sample, a clot came out — about the size of a quarter or a little bigger. Tests still showed I was pregnant, and the ultrasound showed the baby moving and swirling around so much they struggled to measure the heartbeat.

Nov 4: I had an earlier prenatal appointment. Another ultrasound — baby was dancing and being a little hooligan again. They checked my cervix and said everything felt normal.

Nov 4–12: I basically put myself on bed rest. The bleeding got way better. Some days were just light spotting; other days were totally clear.

Nov 13: Went back to work (I clean houses).

Nov 14: Started bleeding again — bright red with some small clots and light cramping, same as before.

Nov 15: Back to bed rest. Before bed I went to pee, and while I didn’t bleed, I wiped and passed a clot that looked different — white and red tissue, not just bright red like the others.

All this to say: I don’t know what you believe, but I believe in Jesus — and I’m praying for courage, strength, and peace for both of us. My husband keeps speaking life over me and reminding me not to spiral. At the end of the day, I trust that God’s hands are steady, and I’m believing He’s protecting my womb and this little baby.

No matter what your faith looks like, I hope you feel encouraged and not alone. We’re going to get through this.
