7wks pregnant - Brown discharge / no heartbeat - worrying myself sick =(

[A1nsl3y]

Hey Ladies
Wanted to reach out & see if anyone else has been experiencing what im going through & can offer some support or comfort - I apoligise now for TMI on the symptoms 🙈

This is my 2nd pregnancy after a heartbreaking miscarriage in May, The hubby & I went for an early scan on sunday thinking we was 9wks1 (from first day of last period - 1st September) but the sac & baby measured 7wks1 with no visable heartbeat =(
Tried to stay positive as they said it might be too early & given we knew we conceived on the 14th September the dates worked out to be bang on?
Been told to come back in two weeks for another scan in hopes the heartbeat was visable & sac/baby was growing - Anyone else had this cannot help but feel im already mourning another miscarriage =(

Not had many symptoms throughtout apart from feeling abit queazy & sore boobs - suddenly since my scan had the below symptoms come on so now im freaking out & resided myself to the heartbreak that we have lost another baby:

• On & off Brown & clear discharge ranging in light to dark
• Not staining my knickers only when I wipe
• Slight ache/pain in left pelvuc area & lower abdomen
• Boobs are still sore but not as bad as it has been
• Not feeling as bloated today

Sorry to be so graphic just wondering if there are any mums to be out there who have been/going through similar thing - Am I just working myself up over nothing or think I should prepare for the worst?

Im not reading google anymore as all it does is scaremonger & offer conflicting info & not had my 1st midwife appointment yet so noone to turn to & feeling like im stuck in limbo atm 😔

Any advice good or bad would be greatly appreciated
xx

Yes my son is playing fortnite in the room next door

Brown is old blood not fresh my dr told me he had seen some horrific bleeds followed by healthy babies ultimately it can go either way but it's not hopeless

Did they do an internal scan? I did an we saw a little flicker of a heartbeat at around 8 weeks unfortunately internal scans can cause more bleeding

Hello
So sorry to here this.
I went for my 12 week scan in January and the baby measured 7 weeks with no heart beat. I had been getting brown stringy blood when wiping prior to the scan. I also lost symptoms when I should have been around 8/9 weeks.
This was confirmed as a missed miscarriage.
Other people may have positive experiences. Don't google and keep hope that things could be ok. Xxx

I'm sorry OP but it doesn't look good.

Of course hope and pray for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Even at 7w, a heartbeat should be detectable.

I'm a recurrent miscarriage sufferer, so I'm not being blase.

Was this a private scan?

Hope it all works out for you

@slipperywhensparticus thankyou for coming back to me, No red blood thus far only brown but discharge has been on/off & only stringy once today?

This has helped give me some hope maybe it was too early for a heartbeat flicker & there is still a chance for a late bloomer - I had an internal scan as I have an inverted cervix so "jelly on the belly scans" are hard to pickup anything.
Really appreciate you taking the time to reply xx

@AlviesMam thankyou for coming back & for being honest, Im sorry to hear about your missed miscarriage in January & I know it wont bring much comfort but strangley enough how it happened to you is the exact same way it happened to us in May (No warning signs for 12weeks all smooth sailing with minimal symptoms & at our 12wk scan we were heartbroken to me told our baby stopped growing @ 7wks & heart stopped at 10 - Mother nature sadly wouldnt take its course either so at risk of infection given it had been 5wks I had to be admitted to hospital for an operation) =(
so please know Im being honest when I say I truly know how you feel & share your pain - Thankyou for taking the time to come back to me & I wish you all the luck for a successful pregnancy x

@A1nsl3y thank you.
I thought I'd be honest and share my experience as it is similar to your story, and in these situations you really want to hope for the best but you do have to prepare for a negative outcome too. This getting pregnant malarkey is harder than I thought! I've just had a still birth at 22 weeks too due to the baby having a bad heart so I'm back to square one again but I'm back to thinking positive! I am sending positive vibes your way.... it is a shit & heartbreaking situation but it makes you stronger and it makes you not want to give up! Whatever your outcome just remember to remain positive and it will happen for you xxxxx

@Crunchymum thankyou for coming back to my post & please dont apologise for being honest I think thats what I need - Having already suffered a miscarriage this year I too am trying to stay positive but also realistic otherwise im likely to fall apart =(

This was a private scan & I cannot fault the place they were amazing & very understanding but its difficult to not think the worst when all these sigbs keep stacking up =(

Can I ask if your previous miscarriages were all early and did anyone offer any advise as to why?

If we are unlucky again to lose this baby too it will make both my miscarriage loses at around the 7/8wk mark - im starting to think im cursed xx

@AlviesMam I couldn't agree more this getting pregnant malarkey is so hard, stressfull & an emotional rollercoaster they dont warn you about in the brochures & that others make look so bloody easy 😔
I am truly heartbroken to hear what you have been through I cannot imagine or put into words how you must be feeling but that day will come & your rainbow baby will happen - your positivity & lovely words of encouragement are amazing & inspiring (thankyou so much) I am sending all my strength & hope for a beautiful baby to come your way - Keep going you will make an amazing mum & you will get there too xxxx

@A1nsl3y sending all my strength hope and positivity to you too. Xxxxxxxx

Ahh hang in there hun...ots hard I know..i have been having brown Spotting on and off since my period was due..i am 5w 5days... At the weekend i had red blood but this turned dark brown again..been darl brown sometimes staining knickers...i have an early pregnancy scan tomorrow morning...i am just trusting God to work it all out...as I am Christian and I know it ia all out of my control

@Luxoire thankyou for coming back to me - No red blood thus far only brown staining on the tissue not in my knickers yet but agree totally out of my control & what will be for me will be - Maybe this isnt supposed to be my rainbow baby but im hoping for some luck 😔 Wishing you all the best for your scan & really hope its good news for you.
Worrying & waiting is certainty the hardest part x

Im sorry OP it dosent look good. I hope you have a positive scan in 2 weeks though.

I had a Miscarriage with brown blood/blood test showed no doubling - if you go to the docs i would request a blood test - 2 weeks is a long time to wait.
That said, I also bled with the 2nd, thoroughout and hes snuggled in his bed. Everyone is different.

DO not google.

Two weeks is a long time to wait. It might be worth speaking to your GP to get a referral to the Early Pregnancy Unit where they can repeat the scan and do blood tests if needed.

Hi Op,

Sending you hugs! Me and my partner had our first miscarriage last week at 8 weeks, as that was our first pregnancy I have nothing to compare too, however, I started getting heavy cramps and bleeding/clots (sorry tmi) on the Sunday night, saw our GP on the Monday morning who referred us for a scan at the epu for the Wednesday(we were told that we were lucky to be seen so quick)

We got told to go to A&E if it carried on from there or got worse. It did, we spent 6 hours in the unit getting examined and being told that there was still hope(how I wish they hadn’t as I already knew myself we had lost it) spent all day Tuesday looking up about 8 weeks pregnancy, me and partner really happy and still full of hope to finally have our scan on Wednesday to be told we’d lost it.

I can honestly say (and I have horrendous irregular periods) I’ve never been in that much pain/ seen that much blood. I understand everyone is different and from what the gps and what I’ve read there is still hope for you and it may just be normal discharge/early pregnancy symptoms

I have my fingers crossed for you and hope that the outcome is good! We both took comfort in knowing that at least we both know we are not fertile(as we were both very worried) and that it obviously wasn’t meant to be this time, although it’s still heartbreaking as the baby was very much wanted.

Good luck and I hope it’s good news for you

I thought I was 11wks pregnant and had the tiniest bit of bleeding when trying to go to the toilet twice then nothing apart from littlest of beige discharge. I had a scan at EPU and there was a baby with heartbeat but much smaller in dates than I should have been. Consultant and nurse were saying I was probably earlier than I thought I was but I knew it was not good news.

I was told to go back in a week for a rescan. As I got closer to what would have been 12wks I started to get light cramps and then exactly on 12weeks my stomach went very hard and I started bleeding. I then had full labour pains and passed very large black clots.

I really hope you get good news and I don’t want to scare you but I wish I had know what to possibly expect. Just try to rest and take one day at a time. It is a very sad and confusing time waiting for rescan not knowing what outcome may be but be kind to yourself and try to tell a friend/relative what you are going through so they can support you through this time.

Thankyou everyone for all your messages & words of comfort, support & advice - I have really appreciated every word & you taking the time ❤
Its in times like this us ladies need to stick together.
Sadly things are not looking good since last posting - After 3/4 days of very light brown discharge & staining when I pee I woke up thismorning with some strong cramps & red blood 😓 This over the course of the day has continued & recently I passed a blood clot so im residing myself that we have lost another baby 💔
I have a scan booked in by the GP on monday which I know will confirm what I already know.
This will be our 2nd miscarriage in 5months which is heartbreaking to face but it just wasnt meant to be our rainbow baby this time 😢
Thankyou again to everyone who posted & goodluck with your baby journeys - I wish you all the best xx

Sorry to read this OP. And I had the similar experience, three times, which proved to be missed miscarriages. A friend had told of their experience of being told to go away and when they returned 2 weeks later all was well. But it was not the case for me.

I had bleeding with my 4th pg too, but that turned out to be a missed miscarriage of my DD1's twin very early on. DD is fine and 18yo now, so she's my happy story. As is my DD2 who came along a few years later with zero problems at all.

I need some reassurance. I'm 11+2 weeks pregnant and had some bleeding yesterday, initially on wiping and then a bit more red blood on pad. I am totally terrified because I had a MC (miscarriage) at around the same time in September which started the same way. Early pregnancy clinic couldnt see me until tomorrow so I went though a&e who referred me to maternity and after 6 hours they told me they couldnt scan me and I would have to wait until I get seen at early pregnancy clinic. Been the longest night of my life trying not to worry and I'm now scared to go to the toilet incase there is more blood. Please help me get through the next 24 hours!!!
