Please Someone... What Do I Do?
Posted: 10-13-06 21:36pm

I'll be 19 on the 18th of this month. This is my second pregnancy. Sadly, my first ended in miscarriage this past april. I'm about 7 weeks now, just as far as I was last time, and like last time, I started to spot today. I have painful cramps. I didn't really tell anyone about this pregnancy, especially not my parents (i live with them) because I didn't want to have to tell them all I lost another baby... But what do I do now? I am in so much pain and I don't think I can deal with another miscarriage. It's just not fair. What are the chances that i'm having another one? If I do, will I ever be able to carry a baby?

Have you been to a doctor yet? If not, you should go and see one now. They would be able to advise you how you could keep the baby (i.E. Drinking medicines) and maybe advise you how you can prevent having a miscarriage next time.

Don't be ashamed. And try to relax. The stress would not help you. A lot of people do undergo several miscarriages before they were able to have one in full term. Some of the drugs that would help in keeping the baby can even cause some abnormality to a child.

Please just see a doctor as soon as you can, not only for baby's sake but also for yours.

Well, it happened. Again. I am so mad! It's just not fair. I don't care that i'm only 19... I still loved my baby and I wanted her, and I loved my other baby and wanted him to. I can't even get tests to see if I can have kids at all until I have at least 3 miscarriages... So pretty much, I have to go through all this again before I can even find out. I hate it.

next time you get pregnant, get your doc to check your progestrone levels (dont know the exact spelling). Thats sometimes the reason for repeatly miscarriages. Because some women just dont produce enough. So next time you find out your pregnant, try to get to the doc soon afterwards. If he dont want to check or see you that soon. I would get another doctor. Thats just my opinion. I know how it feels to have a miscarriage and I know it hurts alot.

Okay get this... I started bleeding on october 13th. I assumed I was having a miscarriage and went on with my life. I didn't bother to go to the hospital or the doctors because they literally did nothing for me last time. Now, its november 16th. My cycle is 28 days long all the time, so I should have gotten a period on november 10th, but it still hasn't come. I'm wondering if I really had a miscarriage or not. For my first one, I bled for nearly 2 months. 3 days of bleeding doesn't make much sense to me. I don't have any period cramps or any of my normal pms symptoms, but i've been having nausea spells the past couple weeks and sore breasts... Could there be a chance that i'm still pregnant?!

You really need to go to the doctor or health clinic and have a test. It really sounds like you are still pregnant and it is entirely possible to bleed a little during pregnancy-especially at the beginning. I hope it works out okay!

Please get checked out by a doctor hunni.

As the other poster said - low progesterone can be a factor of miscarriages and also a weak cervix which can be helped by the doctor putting what they call an cerclage around the cervix.
