Am I losing it?

[Mole007]

I'll be 8 weeks pregnant tomorrow, but am really scared that I am losing it.

Odd pregnancy, in that I have not had any of the typical symptoms (I put that down to the fact that I only stopped bf in June, and it was only Sep last year when I gave birth). The only sympton (apart from the positive test and no period) has been total, complete and utter exhaustion.

Last night I had a little bright red discharge. Needless to say, a very distrubed nights sleep, but not much more overnight, until this afternoon, when there has been some brown discharge. No cramps or anything to speak of, but do have a sort of hollow/open feeling that I have when I am having a period.

Am booked in for a scan on Thursday morning, but DS cannot come with me, so I really want to be prepared, but also want to know if there is any hope.

Please, anyone out there that can reassure me, or do I get ready for the worst?

I have had some brown and red spotting in this pregnancy, now 11+1 and spotting was at 4, 5 and 8 weeks, was scary but try not to worry! With DS2 i bled heavily for the first 15-20 weeks that was hell! But I had regulary scans and he is cwtched up next to me on teh sofa

If I was in your position I know I would have already convinced myself it was over so would be going in expecting that. I hope when you have your scan on thurs all is okay

Thanks for that Julezboo. Quite significant discharge last night which couldn't be classed as spotting so we're resigned to the worst. Tomorrow can not come quick enough!

Mole007 just wanted to pop in and wish you all the best for tomorrow. Blood loss is not always bad news but, as Julez says, most of us convince ourselves of the worst as a defence mechanism. I knew I was miscarrying when the bleeding continued and got steadily worse. Like you I had no initial pain, but it had been a strange pregnancy. In hindsight, there were a lot of signs that all was not as it should be, but there is no definite until you have a scan. I will be sending you happy thoughts and hope you manage to get some sleep tonight. Fingers crossed for you.

Julezboo and Brokenbits, thanks for all your support. Scan was pretty much as I had thought. No sign of anything there at all, so at least I do not have to worry about d&c or anything like that. Quite sure this has happened as it wasn't a viable pregnancy, and having had to temrinate once before at 26 weeks, some small comfort that we will not have to go through that again.

Once again, many thanks

So sorry Mole x Take care of yourself x
