Pink Discharge, Please Help?

26 replies

midori1999 · 30/08/2010 23:02

I have just been to toilet and when I wiped there was pink discharge on the tissue. It was like EWCM in texture, but very pink tinged.

I have been feeling mildly crampy today, but only the sort of implantation cramps you get in early pregnancy. I have never bled in early pregnancy before.

I am so scared, I don't know what to do. I am booked for an early scan tomorrow afternoon, should I just attend that and tell them about the discharge when get there? Should I ring someone? My husband is away abroad and I am at home alone with my children.

How many weeks pregnant are you?

It really does depend on how many weeks you are.

If you are not bleeding bright red blood then you should be ok, and if I were you I would wait unitl the morning unless you get in a lot of pain or you get any more bleeding.

Hi Midori, I had this kind of bleeding /discharge in both my pregnancies. Both went full term despite repeated incidences like this. How many weeks gone are you . The general routine seemed to be that I'd be referred to the hospital early pregnancy unit, either that day or the next and have a scan done so I thimk waiting til tomorrow would be fine. You must be feeling scared, but this doesn't mean there is anything major going on.

hellymelly · 30/08/2010 23:13

If you are only a few weeks pregnant then this may be implantation bleeding.I had it at 4-5 weeks with my second baby-as did several of my friends.If you are much later than this,then you need to check with your GP or the anti-natal clinic,in the morning,or sooner if you start to bleed a lot of bright red blood.Pink or brownish mucus type discharge is common around implantation so hopefully that is waht is happening,from your post it sounds as though you are only a few weeks gone.

I am 6+4.

By dates I would be 7+4, but I had an early scan when I should have been six weeks and she said I was five, that there was a gestational sac and she could see the yolk. I wasn't worried then as I had the mother of all cramping a week after I had been due to ovulate and got my BFP 5 days after my period had been due, which fitted with the 5 weeks they mentioned.

I had a very, very tiny bit of blood streaked CM a couple of days prior to my BFP, which I had assumed was implantation bleeding, surely I am too late for implantation bleeding now?

I do feel a bit crampy.

Midori,did you have the early scan because of problems with the pregnancy or was it just routine. Sorry, my children are in their teens now so I'm a bit out of touch.

I had the early scan because I have a history of multiples and also for reassurrance as my last pregnancy ended very badly.

I'm very sorry about your last pregnancy, this must be even more stressful for you. I was lucky in that my husband wasn't working away when I was pregnant, but he works abroad a lot now.I used to find it much more stressful if one of the children got ill when he was away.It was just that feeling of not having someone to run my thoughts by.I do think that providing you aren't bleeding fresh red blood you don't need to panic and go to hospital tonight.

NeedToSleepZZZ · 31/08/2010 08:56

Everything is so scary at first and I was the same but wanted to let you know that I had exactly this and was googling pink discharge all the time. I mentioned it to my midwife at my first appt but she wasn't worried at all. I think it only lasted for 3 or 4 days but it was about the same week as you. I'm now 17 weeks and, touch wood, everything is as it should be.
Good luck and try to relax.

Thanks for replying.

It's proper blood this morning. Not loads, but I do have mild cramping too. Not looking good, is it?!

KTRace · 31/08/2010 09:35

midori1999 just wishing you the best for your scan this afternoon, I really hope that everything is ok.

hellymelly · 31/08/2010 15:53

Oh Midori,I followed your thread about your last pregnancy,and so I am hoping even more than usual that you are alright as I know what you went through.Really hope things are ok for you.

kingprawntikka · 31/08/2010 19:08

Hi Midori, how are you today? Hoping the scan went well for you.

KTRace · 31/08/2010 19:13

Am hoping you are ok.

NeedToSleepZZZ · 31/08/2010 19:52

Got my fingers crossed for you, hope your scan brought good news x

midori1999 · 31/08/2010 23:26

Thankyou so much everyone.

Sadly the scan confirmed what I already knew really, that I am miscarrying. This is the fifth baby we have lost.

I'm exhausted by it all, tbh. Hopefully we'll be luckier next time, we both want a baby so very much, surely eventually it has to work out?

mumatron · 01/09/2010 09:03

very very sorry to see this midori. you deserve some luck.

have your other losses been micarriage like this (apart from the twins)?

NeedToSleepZZZ · 01/09/2010 09:33

so sorry midori, to second mumatron, you do deserve some luck x

kingprawntikka · 01/09/2010 09:49

Very sorry to read this Midori, it must be so hard to keep picking your self up again.

KTRace · 01/09/2010 10:29

I am so sorry to hear this. I found out on Friday that my baby had not made it to 10 weeks. I have just started bleeding. I know how very exhausting this is and I am so sorry you are going through this.

I hope you have someone with you to hold you and help you through this.

KFW · 01/09/2010 11:04

Hi midori

I hope all is ok. I followed your last thread too and you really are due for some luck. I had a couple of scary big bleeds with this pregnancy at 8/9 weeks - with big clots and everything - and, without wanting to speak too soon, this little one seems to be sticking (I am currently 32 weeks). Don't give up.

KFW · 01/09/2010 11:07

Midori i am so sorry. i only just saw your other post. i dont know how i missed it. this now looks really thoughtless of me.

sending you massive hugs.

Thanks all. I spoke to my husband last night and we we decided (well, I decided, he tried to persuade me otherwise) that he doesn't need to come home. I don't see the point really, it won't change anything.

My Grandmother was meant to be visiting for ten days as from Friday, but I have put her off for a week. I just think it will be easier to get on with things myself. I'm irritable and antisocial at the best of times, so better on my own for now. I have friends nearby I can call on if needed.

mumatron I lost twins at 8 weeks five years ago.

KTRace I am so sorry to hear what you're going through.

KFW don't worry about it, I am glad you have managed to get to 32 weeks, I am sure things will be fine.

mumatron · 01/09/2010 16:11
