Bleeding During Pregnancy - Women's Stories Of Bleeding In Pregnancy #3

[Shanti]

Oh Sara having sore BBs and nausea started recently is a good good thing! As long as the bleeding isn't red it *should* be ok.... I am so hard for you that all is OK. Try and stay strong as hard as that would be.... must be very scary for you. You've waited so long for this pregnancy you deserve a healthy strong bub.

Thanks girls. DH had to go to work today so I have no car to go anywhere. But if it gets worse I will ring him and he will come home and we'll get it checked out. I am just that it stops. I'm trying not to worry but its so hard. DH is being positive which helps. Wish he didn't have to go to work but he really had to, don't want to get him in trouble for not going.
Thanks for being there, it's better to have ppl to talk to about it.
Anyway, DH got me some dvd's before he left so I am going to go lie down and watch one now!

hey SaraJane,

I hope everything is going ok for you. I had both brown spotting and bright red bleeding in my first trimester (from 5.5 through to nearly 9 weeks). At times I was convinced I was m/c'ing, and was stressed out of my scone. I did end up being advised to reduce my activity right down (wasn't allowed to go to work for ~ 3 weeks), but got through it fine (apart from going more than a little stir-crazy at times!). So hang in there, look after yourself and take it easy! It doesn't necessarily mean things will go wrong, and maybe it's just nature's way of saying "hey, be lazy for a while". Also, I totally agree that the sore bbs and lack of pain is a good sign. I'm thinking of you and sofa-land and sending a big

Pls let us know how you're going!

Thankyou Belfie!!
Well yesterday there was less spotting, hardly any, and so far since I've gotten up today there hasn't been any So hopefully it stays away. I'm seeing my Dr this morning at 10.30 so will see what she says. Hopefully it was just a bit of breakthrough spotting coz it's when AF would have been due. I'm going to ask for a scan to check I think but I'm so scared of them not finding a heartbeat!!!! ahhh....it's going to be a worrying time but hopefully it's all over soon and everything is great!!

Hi Sara Jane, how did your scan go? Is everything ok?

Hi

I hope someone out there can perhaps help me out here. We started trying for a baby last month. My period was due on 8 May and I'm usually always on time (give or take a day). About three days before I was due there was a bit of spotting - brown colour - and after seeing this forum I figured it was some old blood. It only lasted that afternoon and then nothing. My period didn't come on the due date so two days later while in NZ on holiday I took a test. It wasn't very conclusive. It looked like it could have been positive but the line was very faint so I thought it was just too early to tell so was going to do another one when I got back from holiday. About five days after my due date I went to the toilet and there was blood. I thought it would stop but it didn't. I was out hiking the Milford Track so was in the middle of nowhere (the hike hadn't been too strenuous and I'm used to doing a lot of exercise) and didn't know what to think. I had tampons with me so had to use them. It's now been five days and there is still blood. My husband thinks that my period must have been late but I'm usually never that late. How would I know if I had a miscarriage? My breasts were sore about a week before my period was due and I was sure I must have been pregnant. They were sore right up until the bleeding started. Now they are no longer tender.

I only just arrived back from holiday tonight so haven't had a chance to see my doctor. I don't know if it was just a case of a late period or if I was pregnant but miscarried. I didn't have really bad pains when the bleeding started but I was quite crampy.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.
