    Stressed, scared and not sure how to deal....

    Hello,

    I am about 6 weeks pregnant. And for the last few weeks have been bleeding. It got to me so much that I went to the GP.. and just said that I need to know if im I have hope or not. He send me to my OB who did a quick scan to check. (where I found I was 2 weeks earlier than expected.) He said all was good. Heartbeat was good.. and a good sign. He said that my uterus was good. No bleeding was coming from there. BUT even at the scan (internal) I bled... a fair bit. It didn't relieve my worry really. Cause as I was getting to leave he said.. "I wouldn't tell anyone yet, you still have a 1 in 7 chance of a miscarriage." So here I am half a week later.. and still bleeding. ITS DOING MY HEAD IN. When its a good day.. I start thinking about the joy's of being pregnant and wonder about the lil person inside of me. On a bad day.. like today.. I wonder how will I cope... how will I explain...

    IS this normal???

    hugs, It doesn't sound like you got any answers at all.
    I have never been in your position so not sure what to suggest. Maybe going to the ER & see if you can get another scan?
    To tell you everything is fine when your dates are 2 weeks behind & you where bleeding at the scan is just weird to me? What was his explanation for the bleeding then?

    You poor thing you must be stressed.
    I agree with Efjay, I think maybe you should see someone again, you need peace of mind.

    Good luck

    this stress must be horrible for you.
    I had a couple of bleeds at the very start of my last pregnancy but not as heavy as you have described. Like the other ladies have said, I really think you should get a 2nd opinion because your ob only said where it 'wasn't' comming from, not where it WAS coming from or what was causing it YKWIM? My dates measured 2 weeks behind for both of my pregnancies as well and the lovely girls here on BB assured me it was quite normal cause I think my dates were according to my LMP, but the scan was by actual conception.
    I hope you get some straightforward answers very soon!
    Gool Luck!

    Oh hun, you didn't really get any answers or reassurance hey?

    I agree with the PPs, is there someone else you can go and see? Perhaps take yourself to ED? Are you in any pain?
    I think that bleeding in pregnancy is more common than we think though and know that there are ladies on here who bled (some all the way through) and they have healthy babies.

    Thank you everyone!!

    Ive got no pain.. and the bleeding today was very faint. So im taking it day by day. I know that they can't do anything if there is something wrong. So im going to ride it out for now. Been reading up on it today.. and it does seem normal. To a degree. And its not heavy heavy like a period. So that is something. And the fact ive got no pain is a good thing too apparently. SO ill be taking that as GOOD signs.. and HOPE this BLOODY WELL STOPS!!! LOL

    Chin up.. breathe in.... count to ten... breathe out. ALL GOOD!!!

    Once again.. MUCH MUCH appreciated for you kind comments. It motivated me to look for more answers online.. and see it from another angle.

    Hugs

    I know this is way too early to think of it. But I have to let my mind do its thing.
    How soon can I fall pregnant again?? How soon will my body be ready??

    Didn't know where else to ask this ..

    Thanks for your kind words ladies. I never thought a M/C at this early stage would still hurt so much.
    Its better to have loved and lost.. than never to have loved at all.

    Hugs

    I don't think it is too early to be asking/thinking about this, in fact I see it as a natural progression from what you are going through. You need positive thoughts to be able to move forward, not forget but to make steps forward. I don't know the answer, but wish you the best of luck. xxxx
