I need some hand holding please...

[LST]

I have had some brownish discharge when I wipe this morning (tmi sorry). I was 7 weeks yesterday. I have a horrible sinking feeling that this is it

Am crossing everything for you..x

I had the same when I was pregnant with DS (my second baby). Frightened me to death as I had had a miscarriage 12 weeks previously.

Had a scan and all was ok - apparently brown blood is old blood and nothing to worry about. Hope you are ok and thinking of you

I'm 26+5 and have had brown discharge on and off since 6 weeks. I have a cervical ectropion and when it gets irritated, it bleeds. I was also convinced I was miscarrying (again) when it started. If you have no pain that's a very good sign - with a mc bleeding is supposed to come after the pain has started.

Thank you.

I still have no pain. And this is tmi overload but its still not 'come out' if that makes sense, and it doesn't even really show when I wipe. It's inside.

I spose I'm trying to make myself feel better. I have this horrible feeling it's just the start of something worse.

Thinking of you at this worrying time. Try and stay positive ( I know its not easy) currently here myself got to wait for Dr appt tomorrow. Sending you big hugs xx

LST It's normal to want to curl up and cry. I'm exactly the same, I just don't know how on earth I would cope with another miscarriage. But it's really important to take each day at a time. Brown blood is old blood, but even red blood can be ok.

focus on the positives, and lean on those around you.

hugs

Just wanted to send you a hug& really hope every thing works out ok for you.

I've bleed in previous pregnancies & every thing turned out fine.

Good luck.

What you are describing is exactly what I had at about eight weeks for a week. I'm currently being beaten up from the inside by a very active 35 week little one.

I know it's impossible not to worry but try to keep positive x

I had this at seven weeks bang on. Had red and brown blood for a few days then had an early scan and everything was fine. Good luck.

I am ringing my midwife first thing in the morning.

Tonight is going to drag. Dp works nights too. And I have to go to work tomorrow as I have arranged for everyone at work and their familes to go out for a meal for my birthday.... It is honestly the last thing I feel like doing.

I just keep dreading going to the loo

LST Good idea to ring the midwife in the morning - she will probably be able to give you some reassurance.

As far as tonight goes, do you have anything that can take your mind off it? Could you watch a DVD or some rubbish television? When I have something that is really worrying me I divide the time up into slots, so I think to myself 'I'll have a bath and wash my hair and then it will be 10pm. Then I'll watch some television until 11pm' and so on. It sounds silly but it uses up the time.

Hope you manage to get some sleep.

Holding your hand.

I'm in a similar situation to you too.

If only we could fast forward time to get some reassurance sooner.

I too dread going to the loo.

Keeps holding hands XX

I've had a bath and washed my hair. I am now sitting watching Jonny english feeling sorry for myself. Dp has just left for work and forgot his phone so I can't get in touch with him if I needed him!

Holding yours too kitty. I hope you are feeling ok?

During the day I can keep busy but I loathe the evenings. My husband is posted in the Middle East at the moment, so I'm so grateful for Mumsnet. I'm really grateful for my real life friends and family but, thankfully for all of them, only one has been through pregnancy loss. Sometimes it helps to chat, or type things through with someone who can actually empathise.

It's typical isn't it with the mobile phones? I have often rung DH's mobile only to hear it ring in another room where he has left it behind.

Just think, in less than 12 hours you will have been able to ring the mw and she will be able to reassure you, it's not that long to wait now.

oh kitty! I feel such a fraud now. I don't know anyone that's been through a mc but my dm bled when she was around 7 wks with my brother. She is being really good. Dp never sees the bad. He always sees the bright side, which is a good quality in him in times like these.

I hope I'm making all this fuss over nothing.

monikar he does it ALL time! Either that or it's on silent. Pointless him having a phone at all.

I hope the midwife says "come for a scan" and everything be ok! But I doubt I'm that lucky.

Just wanted to say I hope everything is okay x

I know exactly how horrible it is. I had a MMC in December which was preceded by brown spotting, and so then when I had some very light spotting early in this pregnancy it sent my nerves really jangling. An early scan showed up that I had a subchorionic haematoma (sp?) but equally it could have been cervical erosion, which I've also had before. Anyway, what I am saying is that there are loads of reasons for slight spotting which don't mean a danger to your pregnancy, but I do know how horribly anxious it can make you.

I'm hoping the mw will say 'come in for a scan' too. At the very least she will be able to advise you and just talking to her will probably mean you feel a bit better.

You're not a fraud OP! Worry is worry, no matter what.

If you're looking for some positivity, I started a thread called 'All Okay In The End Or Platitudes? Bleeding in Pregnancy', on the 'Pregnancy' board. Lots of ladies kindly posted their positive outcomes following pregnancy bleeding.

Quodlibet, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Crossing everything for you. Try and keep your mind busy and get a good nights sleep - easier said than done I know! Sending hugs x

does your local hospital have an epu you can self refer too? I had brown bleeding when 6 wks pregnant with DD. was terrified, as I'd had a mmc 8 months before, and DH was just about to go away on a business trip. was convinced I was going to have to miscarry alone, phoned epu in tears got an appointment for the next day, and scan showed a heartbeat....as well as some bruising on the sac which explained the bleeding. DD now 2.4 and well, hope all good for you
