Newly pregnant and bleeding...help!

[akblaze]

Hey ladies, am I too late to join?! I realize most of you have had your babies (or are having) them right now but it was SO reassuring to read back most of this thread and see that you all went on to have healthy pregnancies!

I too am having spotting and am bricking it. There's no cramps and it never leaves a stain - just when I wipe - and it varies between pink, brown and red. Did you ladies have this too? When did it tail off? Is there light at the end of the tunnel?!

You are definitely not too late!! Some of us still hang around this thread!

First off congrats on your BFP!!! It is the best but scariest feeling!
I too never had cramps with my spotting, but I freaked out and went to the ER when my spotting started right after my BFP.. at that point the ultrasound tech said I wasn't pregnant because there was nothing in the ultrasound and my HCG was 91 so the doc said maybe it was false... definitely NOT! Mine was also mainly when I'd wipe and I had it almost until 2nd tri. It is so scary!!! My doc had me going in every 2 weeks for ultrasounds because of the spotting and the fact that we used clomid to conceive and going every two weeks did somewhat help my sanity, but most of all, buying a fetal doppler was the best thing I bought during pregnancy!! I heard the HB before my doc even did!!!! Granted that wasn't until about 10-11 weeks! If you're a worrier like me though, I suggest trying it out after 10 weeks (before then might make you worry because very few women hear their babies hb that early)

I know how scary this must be for you!! It's so terrifying that we don't know which way it'll go but I am sending you LOADS AND LOADS of sticky baby dust!!!! Try your best to keep your sanity, I think that is the hardest part!!! and feel free to stick around this thread!! There is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel for you!!!! However, if you ever get bright bright red spotting I'd definitely go to the hospital and get it checked out! pink, brown, and red is usually old blood (I had red when I went to the ER but it wasn't bright bright red. I still went because well.. I'm one of those women! ) The most important thing is that it's better to go and be reassured than sitting at home worrying non stop! It's much healthier for you and your growing baby!!! Plus, that is what our doctors are for!! I hope this somewhat helped... and know that I'm here for you!

Sending you loads and loads of hugs and sticky baby dust!!! I'm SOOOO excited for you!!!!!

OHHH HOW WONDERFUL!!! A MILLION CONGRATS!!!!
I'm just sooooo excited to read this!!!!! I have seriously been checking this twice a day (at least)
I'm sooo sorry that delivery was so rough... my goodness! That is just so scary but I am soooo happy to hear that he is happy and healthy!!! Forceps seem so painful!!!! Major props to you mama!!!!

Definitely do not worry about not breastfeeding!!! I honestly think the only reason I made it was because we bottle fed the first 6 weeks to begin with so I didn't have her on the boob all the time, just lived with my pump..but i am blessed with an oversupply! It's so not this easy for everyone so do not worry!!! Your little boy is sooo lucky to have you! Being able to enjoy time with your LO is so important and if you weren't getting that then you definitely made the right decision! oh my goodness I cannot wait to see pictures!!!!!! I am just over the moon with happiness!!!! Definitely enjoy this!!! They grow soooo fast!!!

Scarlett and I are wonderful! Still cosleeping and loving it! We attempted to use her bassinet and she did wonderful but I didn't! I missed her too much even though she was right next to the bed! I'm a big baby! So my new goal is to just have her in her crib by 6 months... which she will be 4 months old in 12 days!!!!! I can't believe it!! It's sooo bitter sweet!!! She is finally smiling and cooing soooo much, she started a little after three months (which is normal for her being preemie) and she loves to stand up! She hates tummy time and is happiest when she's standing up with me just balancing her! It's so crazy!!!! I still get moments when it's so hard to believe she's mine!! It's the best feeling!
Congrats again mama!!!!!!

Thank you so much! This baby is also a clomid baby so I do wonder if it's possibly connected in some way? I've had my HCGs taken last week and they were rising nicely, but I think I'm going to push for a scan next week when I hit 6 weeks.

I definitely would push for a scan! The first one I had at the emergency room didn't show any sign of pregnancy but that was really early, like 5 weeks.. I had my first scan around 6-7 weeks and got to see the teeny tiny fetal pole! So it was definitely very reassuring with all the spotting! I was going crazy because I had heard there was an increased miscarriage rate with clomid so every time I saw blood I about broke down! Will this be your first LO?
I really hope you get a scan!!!
I'll keep sending lots of sticky baby dust!

Its lovely to see people are still posting on here, its nice that our babies can give others hope! Hope scarlett is doing well, cant believe she is nearly 4 months and congratulations charlie jo on baby noah! X

Stressing out so much.
I've been spotting since Friday ha a scan and showed gest and yolk sac.
Couldn't locate where the bleeding/spotting is from.
It's a bit worse today more red/pink.
This is horrid
