early pregnancy bleeding

[mammazoe]

Hello, my 18 year old daughter is 6 .5 weeks pregnant, she found out nearly 3 weeks ago and has been having lower abdominal cramps since and she had some brown mucas blood when she went to the toilet last night, I took her to the out of hours service and the Dr checked her over, she also reported that she occasionally has a stinging sensation when urinating but not all the time, the Dr tested for urine infection but that came up clear, she is still having some bleeding but only when she wipes herself. She has an appointment at the epu on Tuesday. I was wandering if anyone else has experienced this and what the outcome was?

Hi. Firstly bleeding is very common, and often unexplained. Try not to worry too much. Its good that she is going to the epu , they will check everything out. I saw the epu at 7 weeks, I had bled from week 5 to 8, and not just a little it started with a gush, I had bright red, brown and everything in between, accompanied by period like cramping. They used a probe to conduct an internal scan slightly uncomfortable. They couldn't find any reason for the bleed. Pregnancy was normal, low risk, natural birth at full term, had ahealthy baby girl. Be positive, hope all is OK.x

Thankyou I have passed this on to her. I will keep you posted on how it goes on tues.:)

Hi just to let you know that my daughter had a scan and baby is fine and the bleeding was attachment bleeding. It's all settled down now and she is due to have her 12 week scan next Friday (13th) I will keep you posted how it goes. Thankyou x

yay! good news! :) good luck for a wonderful pregnancy for your daughter x

Hi just thought I would let you know that my daughter is now 6 weeks away from her due date, she has had a healthy normal pregnancy. When she had her 20 week scan she was told she is having a girl and she has got very long legs, like her dad, I will keep you posted on when little one arrives and birth details. Thankyou for your advice earlier on it helped my daughter relax and enjoy her pregnancy knowing others experienced the same and went on to have healthy babies. Xx

All the best to you both - perhaps post your future updates in pregnancy/childbirth or the relevant ante-natal thread instead of in the miscarriage and pregnancy loss boards.

Hope you don't mind my saying that. Lots of women suffering in this section sadly It's great that things have turned out happy and healthy for your daughter and grand-daughter to be

That's good news :). I found out I was pregnant at 17 but i lost my baby boy at 23weeks on April 6th. Then fell pregnant again june but miscarried at 7 weeks. Both mine started with bleeding only pittle spots. My little boy was due last month so its weird how different everything is I spend everyday at his grave instead of caring for him. Glad everythings going well :).

Hi mammazoe - thanks for the update. As a recurrent miscarriage sufferer I find it reassuring to hear that bleeding doesn't always mean miscarriage. Good luck for the new arrival.

I too have suffered miscarriage I was five and a half months pregnant that was 20 years ago and I still grieve for my little baby who I never got to hold, even though I've had 3 successful pregnancies. A friend of mine at work has just suffered a miscarriage, and it has hit her hard and I have spent most days chatting with her giving her moral support. I have also told her about the support that is out there. I was told by my local hospital when I lost my baby to be grateful that I had two healthy children and to just get on with my life I wasn't offered any support of any kind and find it comforting that there is so many support networks around these days. Wishing you guys all the best and lots if luck and love for the future and thankyou for the support. Xxx
