Hi,
This is my second pregnancy, and it is the total opposite from the first.
I have been seeing some spotting, brown in color. Brought my concerns to the doc, and he said that is was common.
However, just in the last day, I have noticed, especially today that I have discharge..kinda of snotty looking. red and brown in color.
I'm a little concerned. I have had an internal ultrasound and the baby looked fine, and there was a flicker of a heartbeat.
I'm going back to the doctor, however I feel like everyone is saying it's normal, it will be okay..and quite frankly I am getting scared.
Any thoughts, or has anyone had the same experience??
Hello Everyone,
I would just like to thank everyone for there helpful advice, and strong support.
Unfortunately, I did miscarry, and we lost our baby.
It was hard, and I dont even understand why these things happen.
The only thing that I can say is that after I had an internal ultrasound, I did go for my flu shot...and then everything went downhill from there.
With my first, I never got a flu shot, or did anything else...so I am thinking the flu shot may have had something to do with it.
Any thoughts??
Once again, Thank-you for all the support and I hope the next time I have a question it will be about another baby on the way.
I had the same thing with my first pregnancy...right around week 7. I guess it has to do with implantation. :) They did an ultrasound and a few tests and all was fine. And now we have a healthy little boy! :)
Several things could be happening. It could be totally normal. The doctor can't do anything at this point but evaluate and wait and see. If the pregnancy is going to fail there is no stopping that. If its not its not. Spotting at any time throughout pregnancy can mean nothing or everything and anything in between. If you do miscarry, I think its important to know that very few women never do. Most will have one or more miscarriages. Its no picnic, but it is a fact of life. I have had 2, and had 2 healthy pregnancies, one of which I bled through week 11. My baby developed well throughout and is now a vibrant 2 1/2 year old who is at this moment "mopping" the door to our laundry room naked as a jay bird!
I truly wish you the best and hope that everything turns out well. If not, know that you are in good company and you will get through it.
I did have spotting with both kids in my first trimester. It is very scary, but both kids came out okay. I wish you all the luck and try not to stress about it! (I know easier said then done...)
I had two thriving girls and spotted for both. Stay calm, see your doctor. You will be fine.
Honestly right now there is nothing you can do - this either will be a viable pregnancy or it won't be. I know it is difficult, but try to think positively. Right now you have little to no control over the situation (frustrating, I know), so worrying and stressing does nothing but bring you down.
Some people have bright red spotting their entire pregnancy and deliver a healthy baby. Other people have absolutely no spotting at all and miscarriage without any rhyme or reason. Only time will tell whether progress will continue.
I know, it isn't easy (I went through a miscarriage myself, had dark brown spotting and learned that the pregnancy failed by week 7 but didn't miscarry for a few months). But right now just try to remain calm and positive because you never know what can happen.
Best wishes for continued good news!
Try not to be concerned. I spotted like that theough my 26th week. One thing you might stay away from is peppermint. I like to use peppermint oil to scent my house, and read that peppermint can bring on a heavier period or bleeding.
This doesn't sound at all normal and at this point, it may even be early signs of a miscarriage. I experienced the same symptoms and later ended up with a miscarriage on my first pregnancy. I would get to the doctor and they aren't willing to listen, by all means see someone else.
