Please Help Me With Some Advice Posted: 12-30-03 10:09am
I am in about my sixth week and last week
I spotted for about four days. I called
my doc and asked him about the risks and
he said not to worry about it unless I
began to bleed as heavy or heavier than my
actual period. Now i'm not bleeding at
all, except for an occasional spot here
and there, and I was just wondering if
this has happened to anyone else before.
I also cramped during the spotting but the
doc said that it was because i'm beginning
to stretch. My next doc's visit is in a
week and I am terrified that I will find
out that I had had a miscarriage. please give me some
advice.
Good luck to all of you in your
pregnancies and pray for me!

I've had 2 premature deliveries and a
miscarriage, so I am sort of an expert
when it comes to "help, I think something
is wrong with my pregnancy..." I usually
spot early in my pregnancy, and everytime,
I am on the phone to the doctor, and am
never appeased until I have seen that all
is fine on an ultrasound. When you have a
miscarriage, normally there is heavy,
heavy bleeding, maybe even clots of
tissue, and is normally accompanied by
severe cramping and pains. If you have
not experienced this, your doctor is
probably right in saying not to worry. As
your uterus grows, you do tend to
"stretch" which may cause slight spotting.
If it becomes heavy bleeding, then I
would become very concerned. If possible,
ask your doctor if you can have an
in-office ultrasound. It only takes a
minute, and to see a tiny flickering
heartbeat on the screen makes it all worth
it. Goodluck, and keep us posted!
