Pink Discharge, Please Help? *updated pg. 2, sad ending*

[midori1999]

I am 6+4. I have just been to the toilet and when I wiped there was pale pink discharge on the tissue. It was like EWCM, but very pinky.

I don't know what to do, there's not even anything I can do, is there?! My husband is away abroad and I am on my own with the children. I had my second early pregnancy scan booked for tomorrow afternoon. I am not sure what to do. Should I just turn up to my appointment tomorrow? Shoudl I ring someone?

I am so scared!

Midori, you poor thing - try to relax (that's asking a lot, I know).

Firstly, lots of us have had spotting and gone on to be completely fine. True, it can be bad, but often it's nothing. I've had 3 separate spotting incidents (all of which panicked me) but none of which were anything to worry about. Some of the girls here have had big red bleeds and LO is fine. Given that yours is just pink, it's probably nothing.

One way or another, there isn't anything that can be done. All that can be done is to do a scan to see. Since you already have one booked for tomorrow, it's best just to wait.

There's a possibility of bad news at the scan, so whether or not you go is up to you. Personally, I couldn't handle the bad news on my own, so I would never have a scan when DH was away anyway just in case (I'm a suck and we had a mmc last time). If you can, maybe ask someone close to go along with you?

But try and relax and please try to take care of yourself. It's probably fine. Fingers crossed for you. Let me know how it goes.

Thankyou so much for replying. I am trying not to worry.

I didn't really have much choice but to have the scan whilst my husband was away. I had one when he was still here, but they said it was too early at 5 weeks and to come back. I would have been 6 weeks at the first scan by dates (so 7+4 now) but they put me back a week. I wasn't too worried then as I had thought I may have ovulated a week late, but obviously now I am worried! My husband is away for 6 weeks, so not back for ages.

There's no-one who can come with me to the scan tomorrow. My husband in in the forces, so we have no family nearby.

so sorry hun... just sit down put your feet up and try to breathe and know we will all be here for you wether good or bad... but I had a slight pink discharge for a hour a couple weeks ago and I am fine and so is babes so just try to relax

Aw, midori, I'm sad to hear you have to do it alone.

Okay, if I were you, I'd still see if you could find someone to go with you - even if you aren't close. Lots of women will understand and would be happy to help if they can. But that's me. If you're not as wimpy as I am, which I suspect is the case, then maybe go alone.

It's more than likely good news and you'll see that lovely heartbeat flicker. That reassurance will be very helpful.

If you look, there are just dozens of posts from others like us who've had spotting and had wonderful ultrasounds afterwards. I'm sure you'll get good news.

Take care of yourself, hon!

Midori, I've been one of those who has had spotting for a while and had a big bleed yesterday. My scan showed that I have a large blood clot but they also seen a sac and hopefully what was a pole. I'm back next week for another scan to see if baby is growing ok but they did tests on my urine and my pregnancy levels are all very high.

Amos has had worse that me and see had a scan which show her LO and a nice heartbeat. Hearing about Amos' news helped me a lot so I'm hoping it will help you too. If you read the Spring thread you will see what she has endured and her good news.

 

[midori1999]

Thankyou. I will look at the Spring thread.

The bleeding is more this morning. Only there when I wipe so far, but I've not long got up. I do feel a bit crampy too though, so I don't think it's looking too good.

I feel like I want to call my husband, but there's not much he can do, so I don't want to worry him.

hey there, didn't want to read and run.. i had the same pink discharge, and then it later went brown.. it came and went for a bout 2 weeks. i have a backward facing womb. so me thinks it could've been a implantation bleed, just took a lil while to worm its way out. try not to worry. my mother is a midwife and unless ur in terrible pain that a paracetomal won't take the pain away with or u have very heavy bleeding with clotts. try not to worry to much. i had my scan and my lil pip was ok.i no its very hard not to worry urself stupid. as i also lost a baby in june. and was very shocked to find out i had fallen pregnant so very soon after, but with very twinge and every lil sign of bleeding i panic..
so i totally no how u feel.. sending u *sticky dust*
please let me no how u get on.. take care xx

 

[mislaww]

My fingers are crossed for you.

Midori, I think you should call hubby. There's nothing he can do and it'll make him worry, but this is something you're going through together, no matter what happens. I bet he'd rather you let him be there for you any way he can.

Sending you big hugs.

Hi hun. just wanted to say hope things went well for you today.

 

[midori1999]

Thankyou so much everyone.

I've had a horrible day and the upshot of it is I am miscarrying. I only lost my girls in April and this seems so unfair. It's hard not to be negative, this is the fifth baby we have lost and we have no children together. I just can't imagine our life without our own baby now. I have to go back to the hospital for another scan on Thursday to make sure my uterus is emptying properly and they don't need to intervene. I was supposed to see the doctor to be scanned again today, but after waiting for over 6 hours I got really fed up and decided to come home. I'm exhausted and in a fair bit of pain.

I've spoken to my husband. He is as devastated as I am. He wants to come home, but we are both worried about the effect it will have on his career. He had so much time off work when I was on bedrest with the girls and for the funeral etc. Plus, he wouldn't be able to get home for a few days and now is when I need him most. I also think if he comes home I will just want to TTC again ASAP, and it will be better to wait he six weeks when he is away for my body to have a chance to heal.

Thanks again everyone.

Midori, I'm so very sorry to hear this devastating news. Take the time you need to grieve and take care of yourself. I'm sending big hugs your way.

I am so sorry Hun xxxxx thinking of you xxxx

 

[babysimpson]

Midori, I am devastated by your news. I know it isn't the same as having your hubby by your side but you've got everyone here if you need to speak to someone. We've all been through this heartache - some more than others - so we all know the feeling of emptiness etc.

Rest up and take all the time you need to grieve. I know it's hard at the moment but as the midwife said to me before and is still saying to me - it will happen for you and you will go on to have a happy and healthy baby. It may not have worked out so far but they can investigate (and should after what you've been through already). There is so much now that can be tried to help and I really hope that you will at some point have a beautiful baby in your arms.
