Bleeding in Pregnancy
I lost 3 large clots, approx size of a cup coaster (no pain, they just fell out of me when I stood up) in my 11th week of pregnancy and started bleeding after that. I was taken to hospital and scanned and the baby was fine. They kept me in for a few days and scanned me 3 times - each time the baby was fine, steady heartbeat and the foetus was moving around. They gave me a vaginal examination to try and establish where the bleeding had come from but could not find anything.
The bleeding had stopped within 12 hours of starting.
Have you ever heard of this before, and do you think the pregnancy will carry on normally? Do you know what the cause of this could be?
I am very worried that this is going to happen again but with a miscarriage as the end result, and keep checking myself for bleeding and am overly cautious of any aches or pains that occur in my abdomen.

There is an entire section of the site dedicated to answering questions like these. If you want to get some solid advice online from someone who REALLY knows what they are talking about, Advicenators is probably not the way to go.
Don't ask a bunch of 13-17 year old girls about pregnancy. Mainly because I don't want to see any responses from them.

I think I've heard of this happening before. It's kind of unusual, but it doesn't necessarily mean that your pregnancy will end in miscarriage. If you're still very worried, maybe try to get a second opinion. If that doctor says that you're fine, too, then just relax and hope for the best. Worrying will only put stress on your body. Good luck with everything and congratulations!

I have never heard of it before but that doesn't mean a whole lot!
Just keep in touch with your doctor. If they say all is well then you can assume it is.
Never hesitate to call your doctors office and talk to the nurse with any concerns you may have.
If they can't answer your questions they will have the doctor call you back.
If your doctor thought it was something for you to be worried about he would have told you. So I would just carry on as usual. :)
