When I miscarried it was two weeks after my period was due and it was A LOT of bleeding, very painful cramps, etc. So I would probably guess it was from implantation of the egg, but I'm not a dr, just a season mom :) I googled it for you. Talk to your dr since this is your first time around, he or she will be your best friend through this adventure. No question is a stupid question to them lol. Take care and good luck!

Some women will notice light bleeding about 10 to 14 days after fertilization. This is called implantation bleeding, and is caused by the egg implanting itself in your uterus. As the egg finds a home for itself in your uterus, it may disrupt the lining just a little bit, causing light bleeding. This bleeding should only last a couple of days and be fairly light. Implantation bleeding is nothing to worry about, but if it gets heavy at any time, or continues longer than a couple of days, see a doctor.

hi thanks for replying! it was only light bleeding i had and it lasted a couple of days ive had no cramping or anything like that im just so paranoid im going to loose it i have my scan 2moro so hopefully everything will be ok!

danielle - it sounds like it was implantation bleeding which usually appears when your period is due. I know what you mean about being parnoid - I am pregnant for the 1st time with twins and I have already had 2 scares, so I know what you mean. We just have to try to stay calm and enjoy the pregnancy :) Good luck to you



danielle19 - May 14th, 2009 8:58 AM

twins oh my gosh! twins run in my family aswell so theres a chance i could have them too! what do u mean scares? its just that i know so many people that have misscaried with there 1st time that im convinced its going to happen to me! i just want tomorrow to hurry up and get here so they can have a look at how far gone i am and to see if everything is ok! good luck to u too!x

Well the 1st one I had some light brown discharge and my dr said it was normal espicially with twins and that it was just old blood - that was when I was 7 weeks. And last night (I am now 11w4d) I had some pink/red when I wiped so I went to the hospital and they said everything was fine. I go to the drs every other week which is really awesome becuase I get to see them on u/s each time so I get to watch them grow - I love it. I am sure everything is fine with you. I have come to realize that there is nothing you can do to stop anything from happening (except for the obvious like drinking and drugs, etc) If something happens then it happens and you just have to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep trying! Stay calm and enjoy your pregnancy!


danielle19 - May 14th, 2009 9:20 AM

aww i bet thats awsome seeing them grow i cant wait i just really hope everything goes ok im trying to stay positive about like you said i cant really do much about it if im going to loose it but hope it all goes ok i really want it all to be fine


danielle19 - May 16th, 2009 3:46 AM

hi just to let u know i had my scan yesterday didnt really see much just the sack and a blob lol they said im just under 5 weeks and everything looks fine - its where it should be - no blood around or in the sack! so thats kind of put my mind at ease abit now! i have another scan in 2weeks to make sure there is a heart beat! im sooo excited! xx



Ashley2121 - May 16th, 2009 7:52 AM

Thats awesome danielle - I am so happy for yor. I am glad your mind is at ease now. Have a happy & healthy 9 months :)


danielle19 - May 26th, 2009 9:08 AM

hi just wanted to share with you all that blleeding doesnt always mean theres something wrong! on wednesday i started to bleed heavily and went to the hospital they said my cervix was slightly open and i would more than likely miscarry! the next few days was a living hell for me i went for a scan on the friday to make sure it had all gone to find a litte heart beat just beating away. i was over the moon the hospital had convinced me and my parter there was no hope and i was going to loose it but there it was and all was fine! so im now 6 weeks and 5 days and i really just want to get to that 12 weeks x


Ashley2121 - May 26th, 2009 10:52 AM

Did they advise you to do anything since your cervix is/was slightly open? Bed rest or a cervlage (I believe thats the correct spelling - or at least close to it)


danielle19 - May 26th, 2009 11:00 AM

no when i got to the hospital on friday for the scan i got seen by differnt nurses and they said baby looks fine theres no blood around or in the sack and if ive been bleeding alot then ill probably bleed for about 2weeks and thats pretty common apperently aslong as the blood doesnt change colour or get any worse then ill be fine just take it easy!


Ashley2121 - May 26th, 2009 11:07 AM

Good, I am glad everything is OK. Other than that how are you feeling?


danielle19 - May 26th, 2009 11:12 AM

im fine just tired all the time and always hungry lol the sick feeling in the morning and the tender boobs isnt as bad now! deffinetly putting weight on lol how about you?


Ashley2121 - May 26th, 2009 11:38 AM

I have only put on about 2-3 pounds. Its been a constant struggle to gain weight. Its wierd because I never had any morning sickness or anything, but I still cant seem to gain weight. I am sure it will all show up at once :) But my belly is getting big!!!!


danielle19 - May 27th, 2009 6:37 AM

ive not actually been sick yet and just weighd myself only put 3 pounds on but i feel huge probably all in my head lol. i think im going to struggle with the fact im going to put weight on as ive only just got to the weight that im happy with im abit self conious. just keep thinking about the baby tho and i want it to be healthy so ive just got to deal with it lol


DownbutnotOUT - May 29th, 2009 12:05 AM

hey Danielle I found your story very miraculous and I wish you and your wee one the best of luck. After hearing about your cervix actually being open I hope the dr's told you about bed rest, lots of bed rest. Take care and enjoy your pregnancy!
