and it's really getting me down. i am convinced i'm having my second miscarriage i'm appox 6 weeks and today when i've been to the loo and i've wiped there was some brownish blood/discharge(sorry tmi) also had some pains in uterus area and a bit of back ache. i am soo scared and it's making me really down OH has said to stop worrying cos it's not gonna make things any better but i really can't help it, i had the same sort of thing happen when had missed miscarriage 14 months ago,only difference this time is i'm having typical pregnancy symtoms which i didn't last time.
feel like i've got this huge cloud over my head and unless things happen naturally it's gonna be a horrible few weeks unitl i go for a scan.
i really don't know what to do or think only OH knows about pregnancy cos didn't want to tell anyone else incase something happened but it's so hard trying to deal with this on my own, thank god for this site atleast it's somewhere to express how i'm feelin don't know what i'd do if didn't have this site to come on.
sorry for the moan
love laura xx

Hello Laura,

My name is Lynne, I am 35 and live in liverpool, I miscarried at 4 months on christmas day 07 I have a beautiful little girl called jessica who is five and I have just discovered this website, it is a wonderful site and I am finding it helpful too.
Right enough about me now on to you!
Firstly please go and see your g.p you could be worrying about nothing. There is a chance that it could be fine but I am no doctor what I do know is that the blood is old which is good bright red blood is fresh. The fact that you are having discharge could be connected to pregnancy hormones and the fact you are having uterus and back pain could be symptoms of a water infection. Which I had with my first baby. You can bleed early in pregnancy doesn;t mean you losing baby please go and get seen before you drive yourself crazy and OH and please tell someone close to you about pregnancy if you are anxious and stressed it can cause more problems. Now if you are reading this and you have been seen and everything is fine then GREAT! but if you reading this and you have not seeked medical advice please do. Let me know asap. am here for you

Love Lynne x

And you are not moaning but you do need to do something about it. Also the fact you got pregnancy symptoms is good. I would give anything to be pregnant again. Go care for yourself and baby much love xxx

finally got through to a midwife today to ask her opinion on the above to be honest felt like she couldn't get me off the phone quick enough she said everything should be ok didn't offer any explanation as to what it could of been but said if it was bright red fresh blood then need to go and get seen to and then she said she'd pass my details on to midwife who'll be looking after me.
makes me wonder why these women become midwives when they can't show any compassion.
fingers crossed now
take care all
love laura xx

whats it like today??? if i was you'd i'd phone the nhs24 and get a second opion, theres no way she should have treated you like that.

everything seems ok today, been no blood loss of any kind thank god. after reading stuff on here and other stuff on internet i do feel like mind been put at ease, however any sign of anything happening again and i'll be straight on the phone. feel a bit happier now my midwife gonna make contact with me tomorrow.
thank you for your concern, see you back on the expecting forum.
love laura xx

for your messages put my mind at ease 1. about other people having the brown blood/discharge and it just being old blood and 2. the possibility of having an early scan will probably phone midwife tomorrow and see if she can sort something.
after reading my 2nd message on this thread i sound such a ... about OH and 1 of his kids, i do find it hard with his eldest and i do stand by everything i said about his ex wife but where i said about leaving OH i really don't think i would do it i couldn;t bare to be apart from him we've been together 6 and half years but it's just soo hard having his kids around when we're still waiting for our little one to pop up!!!
fingers crossed everything will be fine.
sorry if i've offended any ladies who are going through a loss at this time i would never try and upset anyone i've been here before.
take care all
love laura xx

First of all please dont worry, i know its hard but please try not to.
If you pop over to the expecting and ask them how much of them had bleeding early on, where will be of replies for you. Brown blood/discharge is old blood, which is better then fresh red blood. With you still having the symtoms is also a good sign. But please Laura go to nhs24/g-docs tonight and get this checked over, its better to get it seen aspa.
I had a mc on 9th aug 07 and on the 10th sept, i found out i was pregnant again, on the 26th sept, i was having pains in the uterus, no blood, but phoned g-docs and they took me straight up to their office and then sent straight to the main hospital to get scaned at 11pm as they thought it was etopic, so if they think you're is one too, you'll get scaned tonight,
Please hun, go and get this checked out.

hi

have you spoken to your GP ? i going through same thing. i have had two miscarriages. think i am six weeks too but i not sure as i misaccried nine weeks ago and had no period. i have bled for three days no pain just blood. its stopped now. i have ot m scan tommorrow. we both have to try and not worry. you got to see your doctor dont go through this alone.

i haven't seen gp or midwife since finding out i was pregnant, just had to fill a form in last week which will be given to midwife and then she'll contact me, thought about phoning midwife tomorrow but i know all she'll probably say is it's either'implantation bleeding which they told me the last time before i miscarried or if somethings not right these things happen, again told this the last time.
can you have a scan as early as six weeks, would really put my mind at rest if could have scan sooner rather than later.
really don't know how i'll cope if it does happen again, how have you coped with your's?
one of my main concerns is the fact that OH has got 2 kids from first marriage and already thinking i don't want to be around them cos just seems unfair having kids he's had with another woman around me not that keen on one of them which i know sounds awful but he really winds me up plus he's just like his mother who i cannot stand and it really annoys me that she's got kids and is a crap mother to them she's even had a kid from new relationship took off her, so it just seems sooo unfair. to be honest the way i'm feeling i could quite easily leave OH if i do miscary cos the thought of carrying on the pretence of happy families fills me with dread.
really really sorry to have gone on, but needed to get it off my chest.
take care and let me know how your scan goes would be really useful to know if can do scan so early.
love laura xx

Awwww sweetheart - I was so sad to see your name up here after being so happy for you the other week - BUT it's not bad news yet it might just be your body being a bit unfair and adjusting. Prior to my M/C when I told my sister I was having pains she said she had pains too when pregnant but it was just her uterus stretching and accommodating (and she has 2 kids now, so listen to her story rather than mine).

Lisa's right about old blood, I'm sure you know too but it helps just having someone confirm it for you when the stress starts soaring and the tears start rolling. Plus your hormones are back into overdrive again which doesn't help.

You can get scanned at 6 weeks, they don't like it but I bent the truth when I went for a scan at 6 weeks and said I was 7 (my GP even told me to fib!) because I was bleeding and was scared. You may not get a heartbeat or be able to see much but you'll be able to tell if the pregnancy sac is there, in the right place, and has a good blood supply at least so hopefully that will help you.

Please be stong hun, I'll try and PM you tomorrow too but give me a shout if I can help you at all, I'm keeping fingers crossed for you.
Lots of love N xxxxx

Is this about the time your AF was due - cos apparently your body can sometimes forget it's pregnant in the early stages and you can come on a bit....that certainly happened to me aswell, and infact my mum had full blown periods til she was 5 months!

Try not to panic, but I know it's hard and I know I'd be the same xxxxx

tht has reassured me . yes its roundabout the time AF should have arrived.

hi laura

thanks or your reply. you can get scanned at six weeks especially if you tell them you been bleeding. they can get you an emergency scan. brown blood is a ood sign that its old blood. mine was fresh so thats why i worried. i have only just stopped greiving for my last miscarriage do not know if i can cope if they tell me again i lost it. is your other half not supportive ?

Like Nikki said you can bleed when you should've been on AF. My friend had exactly the same at around 6 weeks and was terrified as she had prev m/c but is now due to give birth in about 4 weeks so please try not to worry too much (easier said than done!)
Take care honey and we're all here if you need us, Rach x

go and phone please epsically red blood, nikki is right they dont like to scan at 6 weeks but they will if you fib a bit and make out your really worried plz hun
