Can This Be a Sign of Miscarrage? Posted: 05-29-06 19:52pm
Hi im six weeks pregnant and I have been
having a yellowish discharge with a very
mild smell, I had, had a pap done about
two weeks ago and everything was fine. I
have been having back pain and tightness
in my stomach nothing thats unbarable like
cramps but I can definatly feel pressure.
I have had 3 abortions which I am not
proud of and plan to keep this child but I
am so scared that I will miscarry, please
tell me if any of these symptoms are
normal.

Anything Can Be Normal !! Posted: 05-29-06 20:10pm
You'd be surprised at how far the term
"normal" will stretch when it comes to
pregnancy.
If the smell of the discharge is
offensive, or just a bit nasty, it could
be an infection- even could be due to a
slight injury (scrape, lil' tear) during
your pap smear.
If it just smells kinda.... Salty or
umm...Raw meaty? (sorry), then it's just
normal discharge, you'll find increased
discharge throughout pregnancy- that is
completely normal.
Strange sensations in the abdomen, and
back pain also fairly common- your uterus
would be starting to stretch by now.
Make sure you tell your doctor about your
previous terminations-even if it's
something you don't like admitting to,
it's very important that whoever is
looking after your pregnancy is aware of
it.
There can sometimes be scarring and that
can affect where the placentra attaches
itself, how well it's attached and things
like that.
