Pregnancy Info HOME

thanks for the reply im trying not to worry but cant help it when i mentioned the bleeding to the midwife and doc they didnt say anything its allmost like they are not bothered my bp is also high i also dont want them to think im a pain in the neck by bothering them if they dont see a problem the bleeding has been recorded on my records so dont understand it even my hubby thought the midwife didnt seem to care

cd3- Part of being a doctor is making the patient feel comfortable--I'm sure many doctors are less affected by certain things just because they see it every day. If you feel concerned you should feel ent_tled to tell your doctor and ask for a sooner appointment. The worst thing they can do is say no (personally I would consider another doc if that's the case--but we're all different). You have a right to feel good about the pregnancy--maybe you would feel better if you asked some questions so you can better understand why the doc isn't concerned. It can't hurt to call! Nat

Hi cd3, if your read the post bleeding not always a problem, the lady there says that she had a full period with cramps and clots for 6 months and baby was fine she also said her other pregnancy she experianced simular bleeding...try not to worry to much babys are stronger than we think ...good luck

i quess i could be worring too much as 7th jan was the last bleed, i've had nothing since its just so frustrating not knowing and waiting and its the date thing too if i go by my last normal period(20th nov)that would make me 15 weeks now and if i go by my dec period which was dodgy that would make me 12 weeks now.im not a very patient person and to wait till 15th march is driving me round the bend so i quess i ll have to learn to be patient and try to find something to shift my mind off things thanks guys claire.

Hi cd3: I also had two normal pregnancies and started having the subchorionic bleed with the third one. The doctor has diagnosed a blood clotting problem with me, which wasn't a problem with the previous pregnancies. I agree with the others here that try NOT to be stressed. It will make you more tired. I have very irregular periods. I cannot count on my last period dates at all. I feel that one good way of trying to figure out how far along you are is to find out when you first noticed any pregnancy symptoms, for example morning sickness. For me, it usually happens at 6wks. It has been true with all three pregnancies. Another thing about bleeding is that there will be an implentation bleeding sometimes at very early stage of the pregnancies. I am not sure if it helps you with this information. I have been having very big subchorionic bleeds, but the baby is fine so far, which I am very thankful of. Relax and try to remove any stress factors if possible. Good Luck!

hi,the nausea started on my november period and carried on on and off till started to ease about 3 weeks ago except for a tummy bug last week i remember feeling emotional on xmas eve crying cause i had a chest pain that lasted all day my symptoms were worse in dec and jan i nearly puked on 14th jan trying seaweed at a chinese im still unsure if i conceived end of nov or dec i know when i was ovulating(according to my calendar)which was 30th nov and i think xmas day we made mistakes on both times the 20th nov fits more in the way i feel now then the dec one i know for sure i was preg on 7th jan period so not sure why that happened i've just got to sit and wait till the scan thats all cause im totally confused now thanks for the replys

oh and sorry to go on

hi becky, thanks for the reply and advise, and to all new members welcome!!!! well.... i am going back to work on monday, i am a little bit scared but i would feel safer in the hospital while working, if and hope not another bleeding strike out i could go to the ER right away, but i am hoping for the best that the sc bleeding (tear) has healed up fpr good. I will be 12 weeks tomorrow, and good to tell you all that i feel great, no contractions or cramping felt ever since this sc started. I just have to eat every 2-3 hours bec. i always feel hungry. Becky, good for you you reach that far in your pregnancy, my prayers are with you and everybody. i am still pa__sing some light brown spotting every now and then especially when i get up in the morning. For everyone i would advice drinking a gla__s of cranberry juice a day to help prevent any UTI that might cause any contractions or complications. It helps a lot if all around you are very supportive, got friends calling to say hi and some friends drops by and bring me food that they think i am craving for, and my mom calls me everyday. And good thing i had this short term disability insurance before all of thiese things happened, at least had some money to the bills. Again, if you want to ask questions feel free, i would try to answer or share experience as i can.

Nat - great news, so happy for you. Hope - yes rest up honey, I swear it works and all you can do too, so best to do what you can. cd3 - GL at your scan, that is really sad about the midwives, why should we feel like we are being silly. It really isn't fair the scenario they see it all the time, they are there to ease our minds. Ermalin - GL with going back to work, also being 12 weeks is such a good sign, my gyno told me when I had my terrible scare at 11.5 weeks that I had a 95% chance of keeping the baby and that increases to 98% at 16 weeks. Beckey- how are ya honey, have added you to yahoo messenger, but I am guessing with you being in another country, we will always miss each other. GOSH THERE ARE SO MANY SUCCESS STORIES IN HERE, I AM SO PLEASED AND HAPPY ABOUT THAT. You all take care, haven't heard a bad story in a while, has to be a good sign!!!!!!

Im nearly 9 weeks and ever since i found out i was pregnent, which was a few days before i even missed my period, ive always been spotting somthing. This is my first pregnancy so i dont know what to expect if i miscary. ANyways at the start it was always brown and when i wipped myself it was like long stringy bits in it, and i was sure i had misscaryed , ive had 3 scans since then and everythin is ok. The last week though i have been bleeding alot, and also having period pian like. Ive had a few blood clots and i dont know if im miscarying or not. If i was wouldnt i be able to make out the bits of the babies body. Also when i went for a bath the other night, loads of little bits came out of me into the water, like brown things, i cant really explain it, it looks like tissue but i dont know. I know have a doctor appointment next thursday but do you think i should ring the hospital up, or do you think this sounds normal, i dont want to sound like im naggin them, because i allready have before about the bron spotting, and everythin has been fine :(:(

Sian, my name is Denise and i'm 11 weeks pregnant.I came across this site when I was having problems and the people on this site are very helpful.I hope I can be some help for you.Well I read your story and I really do think you should call your doctor and make an earlier appointment.Brown spotting is one thing but bleeding is something completely diffrent.I feel that you should go to your neariest E.R.The safety of your unborn is very important.It's ok if you bug your doctor that's what they are there for.But I wish I helped you the best way I can.Good luck and keep me posted.Take care.

Hey denise, thanks for getting back to me, i rang the hospital up and they asked lots of questions and they said to ring them back if any of it gets worse, and to ring the doctors first thing on monday, and basically to rest. But i cant i have so much to do, as we all know! I keep gettin pains still, like period pain and im still bleeding alot. Its so upsetting, because ive just started to tell people about me being pregnant, and now all this is happening and i dont even know if i still am. And i have the presure of my boyfriend trying to force me to have a termination, but i would never do that. Its really complicated because he is Muslim and his family dont even know about me because hes not allowed a gf and now hes gone back to pakistan for 4 months and he says if i dont get rid of it then he wont talk to me ever again and this soo hurts because i love him.

Hi Sian, I just wanted you to know that even though I don't know you,you still have a friend.I know it's very hard to let someone you love go but your relationship doesn't sound very healthy.You have to make that decision for yourself on whether or not you want your boyfriend or your baby.I'm not trying to sound negative or anything but it really does sounds like untill you do what he wants there will pretty much be no relationship.Life is about choices and you have to choose what's best for you and only you.Be happy with the decision that you make.If you want your baby then keep your baby and go on with your life.Be strong for yourself and your unborn.It seems that you are happy about your pregnancy so be happy.We women fall so hard for men and we live this dream but sometimes the reality is they don't want to live the same dream.You can't force him to stay. Let him make that decision on his own.Maybe he's scared.I don't mean to get all into your business but was this pregnancy planned?But either way you're pregnant so enjoy it.Just relax and take it easy, things will get better with time.All I can say is that I know it's hard to deal with the fact that he's making you go through this.My boyfriend left me when I told him I was pregnant so I know the pain.But he cme back when he saw that I made up my mind to keep this baby.He was scared but he's coming around.So keep your head up and pray for the safety of your unborn.Tomorrow is Monday so call your doctor and let them know that you need more info on what's going on with your baby and that you are not pleased with what they keep telling you.But as always i wish you luck and write back whenever you need to talk.Bye for now and don't stress it's not good for the baby.

Sian...Hang in there..My name is becky and I have been on this site since beginning of January when I hemmoraged...I was only 15weeks and now have made it to a big 25weeks and counting....I too bleed alot and the added stress of a sour relationship doesnt help...Keep your head HIGH and be smart...You will be able to pull through, as most of us women in here have been doing...Talk to the doctors, ask alot of questions and REST for this baby...I was a single mother with my first and was on bedrest and everything, somewere inside of your self you will find strength and wisdom and empowerment for your child...We have to work harder for the things in life that mean the most...Remember to keep your faith and trust yourself, before anybody...YOU have a support buddy here so write anytime...Good luck..

Hi Sian: I agree with everyone else here that you need rest. I myself is diagnosed with subchorionic bleeding since 9 wks. I have completed my 17 wks today. I think that the key is not to have too much stress. The best thing happened to me is that the doc put me on bedrest. I found that every time I am stressed, just a little bit, the next day I will bleed. I also want you to know that the baby is a precious gift. I have heard a lot of stories that a mother will miss the baby terribily after an abortion and for years. I know that different people have different situations. So, I am praying for you that you will make the best choice for you and your baby. Please try to RELAX as much as possible. Take care...

Hi Sian it's Denise again and I really do hope that all is well.Hang in there and good luck on your college course.But remember the key is to not stress.It may be hard but focus.Like I said before thing's will get better with time.Relax and take it easy.Keep me posted.
