hi noni*e - there is someone in the september 1-15th page who has had that happen unfortunately.

hugs to you love.

i am not actually sure thats the thing i am trying to find out????

Hi Noni*e

The frustrating thing about early pregancy is that symptoms can fluctuate. I felt so sick on Saturday and then today nothing really so please don't get to worried just yet. First thing in the morning, call you doctor and ask for either a scan or a BT just to put your mind at ease.

Try to get a good nights sleep, I am sure tomorrow the doctor will allay your fears.

Luv Spring

will they give me a scan? i am worried i will say this and they will tell me i am being stupid iukwim?

Hey babe, who cares if they think if you are stupid. Because of my history, I am going for scans every week. Not because I have to, but because I think I would drive myself crazy otherwise.

Have you booked into a hospital yet? If you are getting really worried, why don't you give the midwifes a call. They are there 24 hours and I am sure they will put your mind at ease. Definately don't feel like you are being stupid, other than the occasional waves of nausea and being tired, I don't really have symptoms. Don't forget that some women make it to many months before they even realise they are pregant.

Hope that this helps.

Hi noni*e

I had a missed miscarriage in December 06 and I didn't know anything was wrong until I had an ultrasound at 10 weeks (heart stopped around 8 weeks). I had tiny, tiny spot bleeding for two days that was dark brown (old blood) in the week of the ultrasound but other than that, no idea anything was wrong. I don't think they will think you are stupid. Hopefully your symptoms are normal and all goes well with the doctor.

yeah i have booked in to a hospital but i havn't even had my first appointment yet for the interview and stuff....
how do u manage to get a scan every week does ur dr refer you???
i am just worried coz symptoms were very strong and now are not

Hi noni - i agree with tinsel. i would be making a phone call tomorrow to find out. it could be just that you are having a good couple of days. good luck.

i really hope thats all it is i am driving myself crazy with this stuff... i also have bipolar disorder so this is particularly difficult having these thoughts on my mind....

Noni*e

I go to a private obstetrician and he has an ultrasound machine in his rooms. I have to pay for it but it is worth the expense for the peace of mind.

Look I know it is easy to say, but being this worried is totally natural. Just remember that often symptoms get worse than better. Like I said, I feel fine today but every few days I feel really sick. Just remember that every woman is differnt and not everyone has the text book symptoms.

Just get up first thing, call the doctor and see if you can get a scan or a urgent BT. Explain to them how you are feeling and that you have Bipolar and just want to put your mind at ease. Don't get me wrong though, I am only suggesting you do this to put your mind at ease, not because I think anything is wrong I am sure you will be ok.

I am going to sleep soon so I will pop back tomorrow to see how you are.

Luv Spring

Hi Noni*e. I was unsure whether to post or not as I didn't want to give you any info that may make you worry more. I had a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks. I only found out at my ultrasound. I had brown spotting for a few days beforehand but my doctor and midwife told me there was nothing to worry about so I let it go. The night before my scan I felt sick that there was something wrong but tried to convince myself otherwise.
Looking back, I had begun to lose symptons about about the same time the spotting started.
I'm sure you will be reassured once you visit your doctor and please don't let them tell you just not to worry without you being totally comfortable and confident when you leave there. Insist on a scan if that's what you want and need.
I'll be thinking of you today and wishing you all the best!

Hi Noni*e

Just checking in on you before I go to work. Good luck today, let me know how it goes. I am sure you will be ok. I'll check on you when I get home from work.

Good luck hun.

Noni*e*, I believe it reads somewhere in the pregnancy info that if you suddenly lose all preg symptoms to call your health carer!

Unfortunately the body & mind are powerful things & I'd definately be making a cll if I were you!

Hope all goes well & it's just a bit of worry & nothing else!

I don't want to worry you but a missed miscarriage can occur and you can have absolutely no signs or symptoms that it has happened. My symptoms have only just stopped and I had a D&C on the 5th February. I had no spotting or bleeding and was still getting positive HPTs and my beta levels were up.

It was only the u/s that I had which confirmed that the baby had not developed and there was no heartbeat.

If you are concerned at least go and see your GP who can refer you for an u/s for reassurance.

BTW, I am bipolar too.

I also had a missed m/c at 12 weeks - I also had dark brown spotting which got heavier over a few days. I was also told not to worry because it was 'old blood' but i just knew something wasn't right.

Apparently from what I've read and been told, dark brown spotting is a classic symptom of a missed m/c and is usually the first indication that something's not right.

Good luck, I hope you have a scan showing everything is just fine in there!

i have had no spotting but i am going to go to the dr and insist on a scan just for my own piece of mind i will let u know when i know...

:goodluck: Hey Noni, fingers crossed for you. :hug:

Did you go to the doc noni?? Hope everything is ok honey! Just been reading your posts and I can feel for you mate... Just try not to stress out and go get your mind put at ease :)
xox

SNAP!! hehe... good luck sweetheart!!!!

Hoping that everythng is okay with you and bubby today. Got everything crossed for you.

Hey Noni,

when i was 10 weeks pg, i lost symptoms for a couple of days and began spotting, i went straight into my Dr, who was just going to do a BT etc, but b/c i wouldve had to wait for results for atleast another day, i asked him to refer me to clinic for a scan, just so i knew then and there!
Bubs was fine perfect even, i cried when he showed me his little heart beating, i knew that things were ok, my bt came back the next day down on levels but they do that at a certain stage, so hopefully you can get in for a scan and a BT and it puts your mind at ease.

Gl and let us know!!

I had a missed m/c at 11 weeks. I had NO idea anyting was wrong, even when I was getting some brownish discharge. It wasn't til I started bleeding a few days later that I panicked. Even then I convinced myself that it might be nothing. We found out later that day at an ultrasound, but it was a big shock to us.

Don't worry about anyone thinking you're stupid - apart from the fact that they won't, your well-being is more important than what they think. I hope you've called the Dr and managed to get an appt for a BT or scan.

Good luck hun.

I've had two.
Unfortunately with the first one there weren't really any signs at all. I was nine weeks. I had no morning sickness but because it was my first pregnancy I didn't know at that time that for me that's not a good sign. The two babies I kept I was sick, the two I lost I wasn't.
I went for a routine scan and we found out the baby had died a few days prior, according to measurements. I had no bleeding, cramping, nothing.

The second time it happened I was a bit more clued in. This was after I'd already had one baby and when I didn't get any morning sickness I started to worry. Then I started with some brown spotting. That's when I knew. I requested a scan at 7 weeks and sure enough I was right.

I'm with Willow on the brown spotting thing - time and time again people are reasurred it means nothing and it's old blood....I always cringe when I read people saying that because it's not always the case. Brown spotting is a classic sign of a missed m/c as you can see by other responses here.

Both times I had a D&C to finish the pregnancies :(

It's not near as common as a complete miscarraige so try not to worry too much.....I know it's hard but if you don't enjoy your pregnancy for worrying about what might happen you might regret it.

well i went to the dr and he gave me a scan referal which i had nearly straight away... everything was fine with our little one, they changed my due date to two days latter for the second time now (which annoyed me) but we saw the little heart beating and it was beating at 174 bpm so all is good... thankyou so much for all your lovely support

i am so glad to hear everything is ok with you and bubs.
here is to the rest of your pg being healthy and uneventful!
Take Care and if ever in doubt again go to Dr!

That is great Noni. Don't worry too much about your due date changing. They change every time you have a scan. Environmental factors can alter the date. Go with the date you got at your earliest scan and work with that one.

Noni*e

That is sensational news :confetti: I am so glad that they gave you a scan to put your mind at ease. I hope that you are feeling better.

Take care honey.

Luv Spring
