I have had 2 MC over the past couple of years,so naturally while delighted to find out I pregnant for a 3rd time, I was also nervous as hell.
When I had a little brown spotting at 7 weeks, I just tried to put it to the back of my mind and stay positive. However the spotting got heavier, was a little red and I became terrified. It also coincided with a loss of pregnancy symptoms, my nausea and tiredness both went and my boobs felt much less tender. I was devastated & convinced myself (and DH) I had had another m/c.
We went for an early scan 2 days later, expecting to hear the worst and were both amazed to see the heartbeat and a normal scan confirming the baby was exactly as it should be for 8 weeks + 2 days. :o
Apparently the bleeding is something to do with my womb and lots of women bleed during pregnancy for lots of different reasons. It has now tailed off and my symptoms have come back - writing this feeling queasy and still not out my pyjamas.
The moral of the story I have taken is to stay positive. Every pregnancy is different, symptoms come and go and some women even bleed as worrying as that is. I am 9 weeks tomorrow and just embracing the whole thing. I have never posted before but did read all the posts as I was worried out my mind and thought I would share my story in case it can give a little comfort to any of you other mums to be. x
