I just called my doctor about this this morning ( I am also 10 weeks with twins). She said it is Round Ligament Syndrome. Nothing to be alarmed about, but can be painful. Basically, it is the ligaments and tendons surrounding your uterus stretching out to accomidate your babies. The pains may last anywhere from a few minutes to a dull ache for days.It also can last throught thew preganancy. The best thing to do is take it easy, rest, and if it gets bad, take a warm ( not hot) bath or take tylenol. Good luck!!!!
Internal bleeding is the big concern with crushing injury. Severe internal bleeding of the abdomen can be palpated and feels like the abdomen is hard and rigid. Additionally, when there is crushing injury of the thorax, lung puncture or other pneumothorax(lung collapse) is also of great concern.
The spotting is always cause for concern. Get in to see the doctor any time you have spotting while you're pregnant. Pain in the lower abdomen can be serious but it can also be pulling ligaments. Again, see your doctor if you have any questions.
If the bleeding is light and the baby is growing properly there is probably little concern. If the bleeding becomes heavy or you begin passing clots notify your OB immediately. I am assuming your doctor is aware and has evaluated the situation - if not make an appointment immediately.
Bleeding during a pregnancy is always a concern and you should see a doctor right away. If your doctor is not available go to your local hospital.
It is normal to experience some bleeding after a hysterectomy. If the bleeding has become a concern, contact your physician right away.
If you know for sure that you are pregnant, it is probably not going to be your period, although some women have experienced a "first" period then learns a couple of weeks later that they really are pregnant. It is possible that it could be implantation bleeding caused by the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterine wall. Or it could be a cervical change that can cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can also be a symptom of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Another cause for bleeding during pregnancy is a miscarriage although the first two reasons for bleeding are more common, it is still a good idea to contact your doctor if you are too concerned.
If you are spotting in between periods that should be a concern for your doctor. you must seek out some kind of medical help, if not a doctor maybe someone in a walk in clinic.
Usually light bleeding for menstrual period is not a concern. However, if it continues and had been heavier in the past, a visit to doctor may be needed.
Any position that is comfortable for you is safe for your baby. So don't worry about that. The only concern that if there is any bleeding, check with your Dr.
Yes, both pregnant and non-pregnant women can get BV. It's of more concern in pregnant women because it is associated with preterm labor.

It could be a miscarriage, although bleeding shouldn't be of concern if the fetus is properly developing. I suggest you go see your ob-gyn for another ultrasound in order to find out if the bleeding is serious. Ultrasounds don't cause blood or cramps. Take care, T. Hawk
