Pregnancy Info HOME

Spotting at this time is perfectly normal so don't panic yet, I actually had quite a bit of bleeding at 6weeks and all is well. As for miscarriage I have had two - one at 6weeks and one at 14w4d. With the first we fell pregnant straight away and he is now 18months, with the secnd we were told to wait at least one cycle n order to determine dates easier but that we could try straight away if that was how we felt. Different people have been told different things but my Doctor did stress the waiting was mainly for the grieving and that there was nothing medically stopping me falling pregnant straight away - of course this is different if the woman has other issues surrounding pregnancy or miscarriage. I fell pregnant after my second cycle and am now 23w3d. I would say to speak to your mum or a close friend and tell them you are pregnant but to keep it quiet until you are ready to tell the world. This way you will have the support and be able to talk about your little one or should the worst happen you will be able to cry with them. Good luck but I would imagine all is well and you will have a healthy baby!

Thanks, Tory! Now, however, I have different symptoms... For one, I don't really believe that I am a full 6 weeks along. I figure that with my just getting off the pill, I could be 4.5 weeks or 5 weeks. Secondly, my spotting has increased to a brown that includes little brown bread-crumb-like material. On Friday, I ended up having blood-work and a vaginal ultrasound, but I did not get the results from either yet, and I didn't get a positive read off of the ultrasound tech... I basically think I am miscarrying, but wonder at the fact that i have not had any significant cramping. Maybe when you miscarry early, you don't really feel pain...? I am hoping the bloodwork will confirm things in some way. I told several of my closest friends my concerns yesterday and that definitely helped. After all, my big fear is not being able to have a baby at all, ever. I am okay with the notion that it may take me a couple times...Now, I am just trying to tell myself that sometime this year I will have a healthy pregnancy... Thank you for sharing, though. It really helps to know other people have felt this way...
