On the road again graduates

[RedWylder]

Oh Susie I am so sorry. I was in almost the exact same place last pregancy and unfortunately it didn't end well. Take time for yourself and just focus on getting through the next few days.

Afm, I'm still going through my own personal nightmare. Ms is still less today and I found a little brown spotting in my underwear just now and I'm freaking out.

 

[Starry Night]

Susie - I'm so sorry to hear your news. I've been there twice in the past year. It really sucks. But there is still a chance for a miracle. I've done some Googling in the past and studies show that most times it doesn't end happily but there is always that small percentage where things turn out fine. I'm really hoping you get your miracle and defy the odds.

Red - I'd call your doctor, hun, and see what s/he says to do. Stay off your feet as much as possible. If the spotting picks up just go to the ER even if it isn't heavy. Since you've already had 2 losses most staff there will by sympathetic and understanding and will try to calm your fears.

I have had a nurse tell me that bleeding and spotting at 7 to 8 weeks is fairly common as that's when the placenta forms and sometimes it shakes loose some of the womb's lining.

Thinking of you and your little baby.

Susie i'm so sorry for your news... and i really really hope you get your miracle there. 6w2d is still really early for a scan and sometimes they mistake it too.

Red - i agree with Starry, i'd ring a doctor or go to the hospital just to get some reassurance. i'm sure it's all fine with you and your baby, but as you already had two losses, you're going there with a good reason for a check up and the medical staff can't downplay it to simple paranoia. for you, losses were real and it changes things. but i am sure your sweet little bean is just fine in there!

i send tons of hugs to all you ladies

Susie I am so sorry. I also hope little one is just taking a little longer to grow and maybe you'll get good news. Like starry said- miracles are possible. Thinking of you today. Sending you love.

Red- I would definitely call your doctor too & see what they say. Try and stay off your feet. Like starry said if it gets heavy call to an ER. I had a co worker who spotted quite a bit during weeks 6-8 and she is 30 weeks now. Even tho it seems like the worst case scenario..little one is probably just snuggling in tighter.

Xoxoxo

Red, Starry & Skye - thanks for your kind words and positive wishes. i am holding onto a grain of hope.
Starry - I've been on those sites tonight - hoping it's me! I'm telling myself all sorts to try and convince myself it could be me but it feels pretty hopeless.
Red my dear I'm so sorry to hear about the spotting - it makes me so angry that we have to go through this again and again. I agree with the others re seeing ur Doctor. Try and remember although it's terrifying it can be harmless to you, take care

Red... I had a co worker who spotted quite a bit during weeks 6-8 and she is 30 weeks now.

Actually, one of the girls who used to post on these boards a lot had two heavy bleeds (one around 8 weeks and another in second tri) and just gave birth to her healthy rainbow five days ago!! It's cruel for that to happen to women who have had a loss, but it definitely does not always mean bad things!! Fingers crossed it's just one of those random things! In the mean time, lots of , Red. The fear is just awful. We're all here for you, anytime you need us.

 

[skyesmom]

also a girl who was sharing a room in the hospital with me had a massive massive bleed for 3-4 days around 9 weeks and yet her little one was fine and measuring on time!

 

[Starry Night]

I had frequent toilet-filling bleeds with my son during the first tri. The worst was the m/c of his twin but I had big bleeds after that as well. It's terrifying but there is hope.

 

[Topanga053]

Starry- I just noticed that today is your son's birthday! Happy birthday to him!

 

[Topanga053]

Well, apparently it's the day for brown spotting. I just had a couple of batches in my underwear/on the toilet paper. I called the on call doctor (it's 9pm here) and she wasn't too worried. I'm going to go in in the morning just for a quick check up.

I thought I could be more rational about this, but I was just shaking/tearing up in DH's arms. God bless him, I have no idea what I would do without him! He's my rock!

 

[rayraykay]

Happy birthday to Starry's son!!

I am so sorry topanga and red. Spotting at any stage is just plain cruel. I am thinking of you both.

Susie you haven't left my mind all day. xoxoxo

 

[Starry Night]

Topanga, so sorry about the spotting. Glad your doctor doesn't seem overly concerned but is seeing you anyways. Hold tight. Help is coming soon.

Red - thinking of you. Hope you are OK

Susie - you're in my thoughts too

OK....I need to update my ticker. My son's birthday was 2 months ago. LOL But thanks everyone. I can't believe it's been two years already.

 

[RedWylder]

Topanga, I literally feel your pain. It never gets any easier no matter how many times we deal with the scares. I really hope that both of our episodes are nothing and babies are fine.

Susie, I'm still thinking of you.

 

[SusieC]

Morning ladies
How are you Red & Topanga? What a nightmare few days for us. I hope the spotting has stopped for you both.
AFM - feeling pretty grotty this am from all the crying. Still in bed so guess I'm not going to work then! Still feel pregnant - painful breasts and even feel queasy this am - think it might be the progesterone tho.
Just playing the waiting game like we all are - I just hope for the strength to get thro it whatever lies ahead xx

Hi everyone

Red and Topanga I'm sorry to read about your very scary experiences !!! Happened to me at 6 weeks and I swear my heart stopped for a week !!! Why did no one ever tell us this journey is so hard !!! Fingers crossed for both of you that it was just one of those things and your LO are cosy snuggled inside oblivious to their mammys worry
I really don't think I'll ever just be able to go to the loo again without taking a quick breath in , saying a silent prayer before looking at the tissue paper ! Please keep us poststed girls .

Susie I'm so so sorry to hear about the news you received , I would love to be able to give you a hug but can only send you a cyber one your dead right not going to work , take as long as you need right now you need to mind yourself . Living with uncertantity is so hard , it's cruel . I'm hoping and praying that there is good news when you go back . Thinking of you xxxxxxxx

 

[RedWylder]

I'm doing ok. I am in Vegas for a conference and it's a good distraction. I won't be able to get in to a doc until I get back. By then I hope my symptoms have returned in force and no more spotting has occured. I feel icky this morning so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

 

[Left wonderin]

Red that's good to hear , hopefully it will stay away for good now . I've never been to Vegas but would love to go ! Are ya getting to do some fun stuff or is it all work ?

 

[Topanga053]

Thanks ladies. I really have no idea how I would make it without all of you!! The support here is incredible.

Red- so glad things are looking up this morning! I agree with Left... hopefully it will all stay away, except the symptoms! I know those are comforting!!

Afm, no more spotting since last night. So, all told, it was a tiny, tiny amount of brown discharge. I still have an apt in a few hours just to be double checked. If it were my health, I wouldn't make the apt, but nothing is worth gambling when it comes to the baby!!! Feeling much more optimistic this morning, but will still be glad to be looked over.

 

[Left wonderin]

Phew that is good news Topnaga , by any chance did you DTD a few days ago ? That was my last heat stopping moment two weeks ago when I had what's best described as a lump of gluey stuff come out that was a weird mix of white , brown , pink colour . Tbh it was hard to say what colour it was !!! Any way it was 2 days after we DTD so I swear never again till this LO is safely in my arms and we are frying for a brother or sister it really doesn't do our hearts any good !!!! I'm sure the appointment will go great , keep us posted xxxxxx

 

[skyesmom]

topanga, this is soo good to hear! and red - i have a feeling in my gut that all is just fine with our baby.

it is so sad, brown discharge and bleeding are really common in pregnancy as the whole area is super loaded with blood (i mean, even the GUMS get to bleed easier with pregnancy alone on their own!!), but once you've experienced a loss, it's almost impossible not to panic and worry your ass off about every little even slightly stained discharge.
it's like the most normal common thing turns out into the cruelest joke ever.

i send a massive hug to all of you brave ladies! and susieC you're in my thoughts!
