Miscarriage
Posted: 11-20-05 16:48pm

I checked this forum the first time when I started bleeding but it looked like no one came back after to tell their experiences, so I just wanted to let you all know what happened to me.

Miscarrriage is a progression. And it happens to atleast 1 out of 6 women, so if you are bleeding be cautious, but maybe you will be one of the lucky women that will continue to have a healthy baby.

I was 8 weeks pregnant exactly. The progression from the first day I saw blood to the day I lost the baby took exactly 6 days. I was experiencing period like cramps maybe 4 or 5 days before I saw blood, I just dismissed as being normal because I thought it could be the forming of the uterus, baby, placenta type deal, but I think if you are experiencing pains, take it easy. Lie in bed and drink lots of fluids from that day on. Anyway, after a couple days of slight period like cramping I saw my first blood. This was on a monday. After I saw the blood I went immediately to er, I guess that wasnt really worth it, I wish I had just called my doctor and went to see him, but it was my first pregnancy and I got a little scared. I guess you only need to worry really bad, is if your blood type is negative. Anyway, at the er they did some routine tests, my cervix was closed and the baby had a heart beat. I was told to go home and take plenty of rest and drink fluids.

Wednesday, 2 days later, I went to see my obgyn, and he told me I was bleeding more heavily than regular, meaning I wasnt spotting and I wasnt having like a period but you know its like a light period. But he told me to not worry and 90% of pregnancys will go on. The baby had a heart beat, he did a pap smear, cervix was closed, so I went home.

The next night which was thursday, I experienced the same amount of cramping at times getting bad but nothing I couldnt handle. It was like a bad period cramp, and I had two clumps of mucus like blood on my pad. I called my doctor, he said it was ok. So I went on lying on my couch and drinking tons of water to make sure I am hydrated.

Friday, went on as normal with pains raning from light to medium. The pains were never nothing I couldnt handle so I thought I was ok, I thought when people miscarryed they had a horrifying pain where they couldnt walk or sit or anything. I never experienced this kind of pain. It was always tolerable.

So saturday passed and the pain was really less, and my bleeding continued as usual. The blood had a horrible smell, not like peroid blood, and was bright red, and when it hit the water it kind of stringed and "danced" in the water, forming strands, it kinds looked like "dna." ok, so saturday went by smoothly with very light pain compared to other days, and I went to bed.

This morning, which is sunday, when I awoke, I checked my pad. And realized I lost the baby. I am going to get graphic to explain this section, because I want you to know that I never knew what to expect. So when you have mucusy blood dont be so worried, thats not the baby, its still in you, but when you lose the baby, its the consistency of a boiled egg, the size and the shape is, but its bloody. Its firm to the touch.

I am really sorry for everyone who has to go through this, and writing this is a biut theraputic for me as I am still trying to pass the shock that I lost my baby this morning. But when I checked this site, I saw that no one came back to write their experience and I wanted to, no matter what my outcoome was.

If you would like to contact me you can, selma@luman a.Com

I am soooo very sorry of your loss, I realize that it is a difficult thing to go through. The main thing is, is that it is not your fault, please do not blame yourself, I know, I have gone through this mysellf. This takes time and if you feel you need help, it is out there for you.
If ever in any doubt check it out. The Dr. Just told me when it happened to go home, that I was miscarrying and to make an appt. Afterwards to see if I neede a d&c.
You are in my thoughts and prayers!

i'm 6 weeks, have been bleeding, clotting heavily, cramping slightly, for four days now. I have been in and out of the er and docs office all four days. They told me it was a (threatened miscarriage) the bleeding stops for hours then starts again.
They have taking my blood twice and my blood quants are not normal does anyone know if it possible if my baby is going to survive? :cry:



this is the exact same thing i'm going through, except I don't have any cramps. I'm six weeks as well. I've become paranoid. I'm always completely analyzing the blood that comes out of me, making sure they're clots and not something else. I've been to the gyno 3 times this week, i've had pap smears and ultrasounds everytime, my cervix is still closed and everything looks normal. We haven't gotten a heartbeat yet and today I found out that the sack was smaller than it was yesterday. :( my hcg levels are all out of whack too. The first time I got a blood test my quant was at 8 thousand, then yesterday [monday, exactly 5 days later] my quants only went up to 11 thousand. I'm scared, this is my first baby and I feel so hopeless. I'm trying to be strong and keep my head up, asking everyone if they knew anyone who bled like this when they first got pregnant, lots of people said it happened.. But of course it doesn't ease my mind.

What should I do?

I am 3 weeks late for my period. I have been experiencing bloating, cramping, nausea at all times of the day, not to mention my sense of smell has been unbelievable lately!!! I am pretty sure I am pregnant and am gonna buy a test this thursday. However 3 days ago I noticed a small trace of blood, dark blood, in a discharge. It only happened once, and I still haven't got my period. Has this happened to anyone else???

Bleeding While Pregnant
Posted: 01-23-06 16:58pm

It's so nice to know that i'm not alone in such a scary situation! I am 8 weeks pregnant and have been bleeding for almost 20 days. No cramping, but heavy clotting and going through 2 pads a day.I thought for sure it was a miscarriage until I looked into it. It's way more common than most would think. Unfortunately, the one thing that has remained certain is that there's nothing you can do about it. Dwelling about it will just make things worse. Good luck to everyone in the same boat. Hope for the best!

Bleeding While Pregnant

Hey everyone! About three weeks ago I wrote about my situation- bleeding, clotting with no cramping(i was hoping for the best). Well, it turned out to be the worst case scenario. Turns out that I had an ectopic pregnancy(when the egg never makes it and is stuck inside your falopian tube) and was hemerrging as the fertilized egg was growing in my falopian tube. After my eight week ultra sound I went into emergency surgery and the egg along with my filopian tube was removed. The egg had done so much damage that I had no chose but removal. Because I waited so long my abdomin and pancreaus was filled with blood as well.
The point is, don't wait so long to get to the doctors office. I read everyones thoughts on the website and it gave me false hope. That hope cost me a filopian tube. Everyone told me not to worry when in fact I should have been worried. The doctors rushed me into surgery that night because if it had ruptured I would only have 30 minutes to live because of the hemerging. I didn't even know what an ectopic was and that almost killed me. Ladies, my case might not be the same as yours, but it just might be. Please remember, bleeding while pregnant is not normal! Listen to your own body, not someone elses opinion!

Bleeding W/ Clots And Pregnant
Posted: 03-08-06 11:26am

I found out saturday I am 5 weeks pregnant. But tuesday I started bleeding very lightly and just this morning it turned into heavy clotty bleeding as well as very mild cramps. I have the tender breasts, a huge appetite and very tired all the time. Could I be misscarrying? I wont be able to find out til friday because the doctor has to measure my hcg level. Please let me know if anyone or anyone you know has experienced this. Or email me so I am sure to get your response: abis17@yaho o.Com

I will hope and pray with you that both our little ones are going to be alright.

Rollercoasters And Early Pregnancy
Posted: 04-27-06 01:52am

I, too have been having cramps off and on :( , but no blood, until 2day but it was lite pink though, kinda how it jus pops up the day b4 ur period comes, and a bit of mucus, but thats an always thing b4 my period comes. Could this still be normal? Do u think a woman can miscarry from riding a rollercoaster and be 4wks or jus under 4wks pregnant :cry: ? Just wanted 2 know an opinion. Last night me and my boyfriend went to ride one and when we went 2 ride it again we saw a sign about if ur preg, have heart probs, etc. Not to ride it. So now he thinks it maybe the ride's fault. :roll: but im just looking for an opinion :?:
