  • Ultrasound Shows Small Bleed

    QUESTION

    Dear Ms Ultrasound,
    I went in today for my first ultrasound to confirm my due date. Everything with the baby looked great. My due date was right on and the baby's heart beat was 145bpm. I am 7 weeks and 3 days.

    Last week when I first woke up and used the bathroom there was a tiny amount of blood and when I wiped, it was a pinkish/brown. I had no cramping or anything and when I called the doctor they said it was probably old. I have had no other bleeding since then.

  • Placenta Covers OS - 18 Weeks Pregnant

    QUESTION

    Dear Ms. Ultrasound,
    Hi, I had bleeding and strong BH contractions after intercourse with my partner which lasted for 2 days. I'm 18 weeks pregnant.

    My scan says this..

    The placenta lies mainly on the left lateral wall, however it covers the internal os. No obvious hemorrhage seen.

    As my placenta covers the os, what are the chances of it moving by the time I am 38 weeks? I know that 90% of LLP move enough for a normal birth, however as mine covers the internal os are the chances still as high?
