Feeling anxious...

[phoenixrose314]

I had severe endometriosis for the last 3 years (probably longer and just wasn't aware) and was told I may never carry a child. I've had 2 miscarriages in the past, but always before the 7 week mark, so have never seen a midwife. I am pregnant now, taken all kinds of hormones to make this one work, and although I haven't yet miscarried I am bleeding every other day, but always brownish looking (sorry if TMI!!!) Is this normal, or am I right to be worried? Is it just because I have endo that I will release more blood than others might?

If anyone could please help, I'd be so grateful - I am going out of my mind with worry but can't talk to DH about it because I know he's got his own fears and worries going on.

I feel like I can't get excited and celebrate this pregnancy, because in my mind I've already decided I'm probably going to lose this one like all the others. Sorry for rambling, I feel so emotional right now :(

How many weeks are you? And have you told your mw or gp about the bleeding? If not, you do need to.

I had bled everyday for 2.5 years before falling pregnant with DD. I had also had one miscarriage 2 months before conceiving DD. I bled solidly and very heavily until 7 weeks pg with her, then on/off bleeding till about 14 weeks. She came on her due date with no issues, except lots more bleeding for me!
I'm 20 weeks pg with DC2. It took 18 months of half hearted trying to conceive this time, and my periods were back to normal about 10 months into trying. I then bled quite a lot from 3-10ish weeks pg with this baby. But so far everything looks fine. I have my 20 week scan on Friday and I'm hoping everything will be ok as this baby is a serious kicker!

it is possible to have a healthy pregnancy even with bleeding, and it seems more common with women who've had previous issues involving their uterus and bleeding.
You do need to make sure your bleeding gets checked though if it hasn't been already.

Good luck!

I'm 7 weeks now. Probably why I'm feeling such a nervous wreck.

Thanks for the advice, I'll get it checked out... just in case. I'm just so, so scared.

Ahhhh, good luck phoenix, fingers crossed for a sticky one for you :)
