Did I do this?

[Marley&Me]

My hormones have been crazy lately and about 2 hours ago I blew up at DH on the phone. My Internet was down and I was trying to do some banking while he was nagging me for money while I'm sitting next to a pile of bills. I was so mad I actually threw a couple of things in the house.
Now I am sitting here with brown discharge at 6 weeks pregnant. Have not bled or spotted at all until now.

Is it ridiculous to suggest my breakdown caused this. I am terrified I am causing a m/c.

Hugs babe. Hormones do all sorts of things to us. Try and put your feet up and tell DH you need to regroup and stay as calm as possible.

[Marley&Me]

Thanks Joeve. I just started feeling positive about this pregnancy and now I am trying to relax, but can't in fear I have caused the onset of a m/c

[Joeve]

When I had my mc last year I went through something so emotional and I was physically and mentally a wreck. I thought that caused my mc. I was assured by both the ob at the hospital and my own ob that while not ideal this didn't cause my mc. I know that little voice in your head.
I know it's so hard, can you do something that you find enjoyable that can take your mind into a more positive frame? Spotting is so common, I think in my bellybuddies group we nearly all had some between 5 weeks and 12 weeks.
Crossing everything for you x

Not at all, honestly just sit back and put your feet up and try not to stress, if you are still worried in an hour cll your career for more advice, goodluck xx

[Marley&Me]

I will try to calm down, I feel so guilty. I just want DH to come home now. Thank you Joeve xx

[Marley&Me]

Thanks Nel1574, just saw your post, hope your right. I feel sick to my stomach thinking I have done this. Can't take my mind away from this.

if its brown I wouldn't think too much of it. If it was fresh then I may be concerned. Chances are you just dislodged some old mucus/blood possibly from an implant bleed?

I know when I have neared the end of my POST natal bleeding, if I had a stressful moment of yelling etc, I always got a bit of yuk happening again.

Stay positive, It will be ok xox

I thought the same thing with both my mc. It's only natural to feel that way. Just remember, it's not your fault and if its going to happen it will. Hugs xx

[Marley&Me]

Thank you Efjay. I don't even have anyone to call if I'm concerned because my GP is closed and I don't have an OB yet as I am only 6 weeks. My first scan is Thursday. My hands are shaking typing this I am so scared.

You haven't caused anything Hun. Brown blood is old blood, which means there was a very small amount of blood a few days ago, and it's worked it's way out now. Maybe because you were a bit physical (were you more physical than you are in your every day life?) or it may just be a coincidence. Either way, you haven't caused anything. The amount of stress it takes to potentially affect a pregnancy is so much greater; women carry pregnancies through war torn countries, rapes, famine etc. Try to relax. Your cervix is very swollen with blood and very sensitive right now, if you've checked your cervix or dtd in the last few days, this is likely the cause.

Dr told me the same - nothing I had done had caused my MC.

if it happens, it happens... but most likely it's just old blood.

no other advice, cause I agree with everything everyone else has said... just wanted to give you another bunch of these

[nothing2lose]

Just wanted to give you some of these....

Try to stay calm and think positive thoughts. Like the others said, brown blood is old blood.

Do something lovely for yourself to help yourself calm down. Maybe a nice warm shower.

take care x

I just peed and wiped red
I will call tomorrow to get my scan moved to Monday if I can
Thank you for the hugs ladies xx

You did NOT cause any of this, try to relax (I know how hard that is)

Just remember at this stage you have good numbers, some people have bleeds and go on to have normal healthy pregnacies.

[nothing2lose]

I bleed right through my first and second trimester with my DD. Big bright red clots. Red isnt necessarily bad.
It could be a SCH.

try not to worry

[chody47]

I had a small red bleed with DD and I've had two this time. Hopefully it all turns out fine. Just sit down and put your feet up!

[Marley&Me]

Bleeding stopped this morning. A tiny bit of brown when I wiped this morning still. Saturday night is the worst night for anything to happen. No one is open on a Sunday and i called the ED last night and they don't even have a sonographer (sp?) at the hospital on sat night/sunday. The last few days my boobs have been so sore I keep waking up cos I'm squashing them. But today I can squish them with my hands and they don't hurt at all. Too much of a coincidence I think My instincts are telling me it's over.
