Scared Im losing this one too. Brown bleeding - please give me some hope!

Hi,

I have been having brown bleeding which is actually more like brown discharge since yesterday morning. It is intermittant. I havent had any cramping except for one really bad cramp that had me doubled over on friday, but it only lasted bout 3 minutes.

I know that it CAN be normal in pregnancy, but with my first miscarriage before me DD I didnt have cramping and only had 2 tiny brown spots. When I had my scan we found out the bub had died weeks before.

I am 7 weeks and 5 days today. I saw and heard the heartbeat at 6w6d in my Obs office. Is that a good sign?

I went to my Gp yesterday but because it was a saturday they said their wasnt much they could do. They gave me a letter to take to emergency but I decided not to go as didnt want to sit there for hours as I have heard to many horror stories about nasty staff and miscarrying in toilets.

My ob is on holidays atm but he has a locum working so I am going to ring first thing tomoz to see if I can get in for a scan asap.

Why can't I just have a normal, stress free pregnancy? After my miscarriage and infertility and complicated pregnancy with my DD I really hoped this would be uneventful - but appears not (again!).

Sorry this has turned into a long winded post. Just hoping others have had brown bleeding that turned into being nothing - or were you told the reasons. Ahhhh this is doing my head in...

chick. I can relate to you post on so many many levels.

I have had brown discharge in most of my pregnancies. All except my first. This is my seventh. I have 2 children. So my track record is not fantastic. When it happened again this time at 5 weeks I freaked out. Then I gave up. I did nothing because I had resigned myself to he fact that I was going to lose another - my final attempt. But it stopped.
Then it happened again at 8 weeks and there I was again, but my GF convinced me to make a doctors appointment. She got me a scan and there was my tiny baby complete with heartbeat on the screen. I don't know who was more relieved - me or the novice sonographer. They couldn't find a reason for my bleed.

Sometimes it can be old blood from where the implant was, sometimes there can be a small pooling of blood next to bub.

Ring your Ob's office tomorrow or even ring your GP back and just ask for a scan referral. Rest today. Seriously.

I have everything crossed that its just old blood and everything is perfect.

I really think you should go to the ED and get an ultrasound and a blood test. Just to put your mind at ease and to also know that everything is fine.

Wishing you all the best xoxo

Firstly, I am so sorry that this is not going smoothly for you. It is such a horrible situation to be in. Like you said, it is a good sign that you have seen bubs hb earlier in a scan. I would, for peace of mind ring tomorrow and get another scan & bloods. I hope all is ok & your bubba is growing and developing beautifully.
