Scared Please Help
Posted: 10-06-06 19:51pm

I have 3 kids, all my kids are a year apart, my youngest is a girl she's 5 months old. I had them all due to c-section, and I just found out i'm pregnant again, we were beyond careful. I was on the pill, I never missed one and we used condoms each and every time.

But that's not my problem.

The other day I started bleeding, not heavy just a smear on my underwear and toilet paper. I went to the drs the same day, an hour later and I had two blood tests done in two days. I got the results back yesterday that I was still pregnant, I hadn’t lost the baby, but i'm slightly cramping, but not much. There are still smears of brown when I wipe, I haven't bled since that morning; we had, had sex the night before. But now I am really worried. Is it because all my pregnancies were so close together and that they were all c-section could that be the cause? I've more or less been pregnant for 4 years straight, my oldest son was 8 months when I got pregnant with my second son, my second son was 6 months when I got pregnant with my daughter and my daughter is 5 months and i'm pregnant.

Also, with my daughter I had some problems, they thought they saw a marker on her heart and she was born prematurely and i'm wondering was that a sign that all my pregnancies are going to be complicated after that? Is there a chance there will be something wrong with this baby?



Thank you so much and i'm sorry if this doesnt make sense i'm really nervous and scared


what I mean to ask is, is there anything I should do to help pervent it, something I can take or anything?
What should I ask of the dr? Is there something I should bring up when I see her? I dont go in until wed so I really want to have all my cards out and to ask her everything while i'm there so I dont forget...

I'm sorry, I should have added that.

By my last period, I believe i'm about 5-6 weeks, but by the blood result sheet i'm roughly 2-3 weeks

Ah, poor you, you've got yourself all in a flap! There isn't really anything you can do if a pregnancy just isn't meant to be unfortunately, that's the horrible thing. However, i'm not saying that I think you are going to lose this little one. I cramped a lot early on in my pregnancy, I was even tested for suspected ectopic pregnancy but it all worked out fine.


I know doctors advise giving your body a bit of a break between pregnancies but I don't think that means you are more likely to miscarry if you do conceive in rapid succession.


If you start getting more cramping and/or blood then don't wait for your appt on wed, get yourself down to the hospital straight away.


Have you asked your doctor about being sterilised or your hubby getting the snip? If you're absolutley positive you don't want more children then that would be a good option if you want to.


Best of luck!


Edit: spelling

No, we have already talked about this, when this baby is born i'm getting clamped. We really dont want to go through something like this again for the second time and 4 little ones is more than enough.
