Pregnancy Info HOME

Lisa D., thank you for posting. I started to have some brown/whitish colored discharge this am and started wondering what was going on. i am supposed to get results of bloodwork today. It would be 6w2d for me and I hope everything is ok. Thank you.

If it is brown and light there is probably no need to worry. HCG Blood tests are great to give you a comfort level things are going in the right direction. Stay positive and know what is meant to be will be. Look forward to your upcoming addition to your family and stay positive since it is best for you and the little one. :-)

I am so sorry to hear about your loss Lisa, I will keep you in my prayers and sprinkle you with LOTS of babydust... God bless all :)

Thanks Kimmy you brought tears to my eyes! I know it will happen again. I am 35 so I thought it never would happen... now at least I know I CAN get pregnant. Next time I'm sure it will stick! Thank for the well wishes.

I had a miscarriage a couple of months back though and just spotted brown for a little while, then saw the heartbeat twice....next ultrasound showed baby had no heartbeat. So you don't always know. My baby had been dead for 2 weeks before I found out!

I don't want to scare anyone (including myself b/c I am now 4 weeks pregnant again), but I had a missed m/c and felt nothing wrong- except intuition. I had no spotting or bleeding with it. The only reason I am sharing that is b/c I don't want people to believe that they can only miscarry w/ bleeding or pain. My baby died b/c the heart didn't beat properly. 1st u/s it was weak, the next not there at all. I have read it isn't that common to have a missed m/c, but be aware that it can happen. Sorry if I scared anyone.

Hi Lisa and Stacey, thanks for your stories. I have only found out that i am 6 weeks preggo, it was unplanned and i thought the reson i wasn't getting my period was becasue i am an athlete and losing body fat ( i was training very hard before and upto when i found out). I have had no symptoms of pregnancy apart from big boobs and being tired. I am more cautious of miscarriage becasue i have had a friend who found out her baby had died when she did her 10 week scan and there was no heart beat, She had no symptoms. It is something that always sits in the back of my mind until the OK is given by the docs that i am out of danger. I have cut back on my training but continue to do about 1.5hrs of mild training (walking, bike riding and low impact cardo) becaue the doctors have told me to not stop. Can i ask Lisa how far gone you were when you lost your child?

Lora- do yourself a favor and try not to think about the chance of it (missed m/c). I knew about it b/c a friend had it a few months before I became pregnant and in a way I wonder if I was so concerned with that- that I didn't help my baby when I could have (when we found out the heartbeat was there but weak). Good luck-

I have my 10 week check up in three weeks and it terrifies me to think about the doctor not finding a heartbeat. I had a m/c in March & can't bear going through that again. Did you ladies or you friends who m/c lose any symptoms? I've had my hcg and prog. levels checked & things were fine. Still have symptoms, so hopefully this is a good sign.

I had a blighted ovum which means the baby died very early but my sacs continued to develop. The sacs are what put off the pregnancy hormone that gives the symptoms of pregnancy. I still had all my symptoms (nausea/vomiting, extreme fatigue, heartburn, and sore breasts) up until the day of my d&c I am a week out and my breasts have finally subsided a few days ago. I had brown spotting for two days, an hour or so each day only at wiping. This was my only clue something wasn't right since I hadn't spotted with my other two successful pregnancies. If you read on this sight, you will see many good outcomes with brown spotting though. In my case, I hadn't actually been pregnant for about three weeks but still had all the symptoms due to the sacs. Good luck to you.

Lisa, can you describe the timeline from the first sight of bleeding to when it got really heavy? The reason I'm asking is because I just started bleeding (lightly) and am very concerned that I am starting to miscarry.

thank you so much. i heard you could miscary and not know. ggood luck with tring agai

thank you so much. i heard you could miscary and not know. ggood luck with tring again will pray for you

Tara- I did lose symptoms when I m/c (missed m/c), but in a regular pregnancy it is possible to lose and get back symptoms..so I don't want to scare anyone with that. When I had my hcg levels taken, all was fine.I went for an u/s in week 6 and the heartbeat was low- that's how we knew. Next u/s there was none :(

I don't know if you are still a member or not but thank you for your post. I am about 10+ weeks. I was told 2 weeks ago I was going to miscarry but still have all the symptoms of being pregnant. I am also still testing positive on a home pregnancy test. Which like you said must be from the sac. I started a brown/yellowish discharge this weekend and I was VERY sleepy. I guess I should just wait a couple of more weeks... Thanks!!
