Hi all. Just after a bit of advice if any of you can help me please. I am 6ish weeks pregnant and around lunchtime had some browny coloured discharge. It was very creamy/sticky and sort of a light muddy colour. Then a few hours later, it was tinged a very very light pink. Then tonight I see more of a watery pink discharge. There hasn't been alot considering its been going on for 9 hours but enough to scare me. I am not having any cramps etc other than a slight backache but my boobs which have been killing me have stopped hurting all of the sudden. Feeling very worried and wondering whether this is justified or not?
I know this is easier said than done (cause I have been there in 2 pg's), but try not to stress.
Have you had any blood tests yet? Cause it may be worth getting to check that your HCG levels are rising to put your mind at rest. While a scan is the best way to check on bub, there is a big chance that at 6 weeks you won't see anything and it will make you worry more, especially if your dates are out.
My body continuously changed in the early weeks, and during my 1st pg, I was very panicky at every stage..
I did have a scan last Thursday but nothing could be seen except a sac, which they said was normal for this far along. There was a 5 day diff between my dates and their date but they said this is pretty normal too since it was just a tummy scan and apparently things change every single day at this early stage. I have an appt with the GP on Tues and am supposed to be getting a referral to the OB then.
I am trying not to stress too much but it's hard because I've been trying to find some more info about the watery discharge and it's all so conflicting. If it continues overnight, I'll give the Dr a call in the morning and see what she says.
I bled often through my pregnancy and it was bloody/muddy as you say. It's most likely normal discharge but if it would makeyou feel more peaceful, go and get it checked out. It's important for you to feel relaxed and informed asmuch as humanly possible.
I had spotting with my ds at 16 weeks which totally freaked me out at the time but everything was completely fine.
As heather said, getting your hcg levels checked is a good way to check how things are going. If you have your bloodtest they can usually give you the results the next day.
Hi, thats what I'm getting and each test I am expecting bad news??? But so far everyhting is going along well, I would say try not too worry but I know it' not possible, will talk more in the due date group I'm sure .... like the others say get BT done, it helps ease your mind for a day or two until you get another one done.that all will be okay.
I really appreciate your responses. I have a Dr's appointment in the morning. Today things have been a bit worse, bright red watery blood a couple of times and also bright red blood in mucous. But it's pretty much only when I wipe and not alot. Just keeping my fingers and toes crossed. Will let you know. xx
As the other ladies here have said, to put your mind at ease a BT is your best way. All three of my pregnancies have had bleeding. During my first pregnancy I had early bleeding at about 8 weeks, and the second pregnancy at about 6 weeks. Everything turned out fine and lost them to different circumstances.
I hope everything's okay and will be thinking of you!
Starangelk, I had this exact thing with both pregs (and it wasn't the reason I lost Jayvan so don't panic!)
Def keep those fingers and toes crossed but while it's so light with no cramps I would say that everything is ok. I'll be keeping my toes and fingers crossed too! xx
Good luck sweety,i had spotting and later major bleeding with DD and she was born full term with no complications. I hope your little one is nice and safe xx
Good luck with your appointment at the Dr's. I had spotting with both of my pregnancies at about 6-7 weeks and had bleeding with my second at 12 weeks, but I have both children.
I remember being told from my DR that you can get spotting due to the egg implanting in the Uterus.
Hi ladies -a massive THANK YOU for your support, I really really appreciate it. Went to the DR this morning who basically said I should prepare myself for the worst but to try and not worry. She said it doesn't sound good but it is possible that the bleeding is normal for "me" and I could go on to be okay. So she sent me for blood tests and has marked them urgent and I can ring and speak to her this afternoon to get the results. She said that if the test comes up negative then it is a miscarriage and I need to wait for the bleeding and still get a scan in a week or so to check everything has been flushed out. If the test is positive then I have to wait until next Monday (because Friday is a holiday here) and be restested. Then from the levels they can see what is going on.
I think I am in denial because I still asked her about the OB referral because I am worried that they will get booked out and I will miss out! She said not to worry about that at all, she will make sure that doesn't happen and we need to deal with this first and then worry about that later. Makes me realise that she thinks it is not looking good and she did say that pretty clearly. I am making her sound horrible but actually she was lovely just straight to the point which I appreciate.
that everything is okay. Feeling pretty sad and scared but still hopeful.
I too had spotting during my second pregnancy and it turned out fine. From week 8-18 if i remember correctly but it was only ever brown spotting never bright red.
Hi read your post and wanted to reassure you as I had bleeding also in this pregnancy. I was also told to go home and wait for the inevitable which was horrible and quite wrong as I can now appreciate...I hope your test comes back positive and have my fingers crossed for you.
Its normal to get a bit panicky as we want these pregnancies so much and sometimes generalising things can be a bit dangerous as a lot of ppl have a wide range of pregnancy stories.
hey chick i pray everything is ok for you... HAs the spotting stopped? has there been any pain?
I am one who spotted on the 6 week mark (according to my dates) every time i went to the toilet and wiped for atleast 9 hours (i obversely didnt wipe for 9 whole hours!) i was a emss i was certain i was losing my bub i called my hospital who told me to bed rest and come up if bleeding or pain increased... neither happened. I went to the gp on monday (2 days later) she sent me for an urgent scan wrote me a med cert for work and uni exams to give me a weeks rest, the scan showed a heat beat at 6 weeks and 3 days. I am now 17 weeks and 1 ay and nil further spotting.
6 weeks pregnant - spotting
