I understand how terified you are. I have been through it. Unless a doctor tells you any different it is normaly okay to continue all of your prior activities. Now the doctor might limit some or restrict some, but it is all up to him/her. Have you seen your doctor yet? You need to discuss all of these concerns with him/her to mput your mind at ease some.. Good luck and welcome to your 1st trimester.

sorry about the loss. Let me just say that unfortunately miscarriages are not something you've done wrong. They are unpreventable and unstopable. A very high percentage of them are due to chromosone abnormalities which hinder the fetus from growing properly. You can exercise lightly , eat properly , take vitamins which is good for you and the baby but im gonna be real blunt if it does happen again* hope not* there really isnt much anyone can do to stop it. But think happy thoughts because your % has dropped to miscarry again . Good luck!

Thankyou girls for your replies. I have seen a doctor but i'm just waiting to see a specialist. Is it true that my chances of miscarriage now are less than my first pregnancy??? I've never heard that before. That makes me feel a bit better!
Last night I had some blood when wiping. It was a small amount, it was watery and pinkish. My period should have been due 24th aug. Maybe its that? Any ache or pain in my body I dread the worse. I'm a nervous wreck!!
Also, i've been feeling light headed alot lately. Some times so bad that I do black out for a couple of seconds. Whats this??? Any ideas??
Thanks for your time xx

Any ideas?

I wouldn't worry about the pink spotting--i've had the same my last two pregnancies and now this current one as well. (but not with my son...Hmmm, makes me suspicious that this one is a girl like my last two)

it could just be your body thinking it's time for a period, or sometimes this early in the game it's just the fetus and accompanying tissue burrowing in a little deeper, displacing a tiny bit of blood. I know with my second pregnancy, when I first had spotting like that, it freaked me all out and I got my midwife to schedule me an ultrasound, but all was fine. When it happened last pregnancy, I didn't worry about it as much, and that baby was fine too. Now i'm barely thinking about it.

If you'll check some baby books, I think you'll find that the lightheadedness is a normal pregnancy symptom. You should talk to your doctor about it though because actually blacking out is a concern. You could be low in something, like iron.

Hey, thankyou for making me feel at ease now. I did have the pink blood in my last pregnancy also around the time my period was due. But this time its a little redder than before. I'm just worried about seeng blood because of what happened last time!!! Its stopped now, thankfully but i'll still ask my doctor about that and the light headed. I think I probably am lacking something but I dont know how to stop it as i'm now eating properly whereas before I was dieting.
I have one more question! Is sex safe now? I'm worried about him going to deep, will it do any damage to the uterus, or baby sack etc?? I'm off sex at the moment because i'm worried!!! And feeling sick all day everyday doesnt help!!!

i was 23 weeks pregnant when i had a misscarage and i feel like i want to try again but my husband does not want to i have 5 other children but i feel like i have been robbed and i really want to try again what do you think i should do
thanks so much elaine
