So worried

[Ookmybanana]

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I've previously had a miscarriage.
Last night there was some brown discharge when I wiped after having a wee. I have had some mild cramping but that's been ongoing for 2 weeks now. I phoned NHS 24 and they weren't overly worried just said to phone back if the symptoms worsen in anyway. Now my previously sore boobs are no longer sore and all my nausea has gone. I feel convinced that this is the beginning of the end for this pregnancy. I'm willing it to stick around but I just have a feeling that I am going to miscarry soon. I've read other people's stories with mixed outcomes between this being something that happened to them and they have a perfectly healthy pregnancy/baby and those for whom this was an early sign of miscarriage. I'm driving myself mad and my anxiety is taking hold and I'm currently fending off a panic attack using this post as a distraction. I could be totally overreacting. I just wish I knew what was going to happen.

Early pregnancy after miscarriage is such a stressful time, I understand how you're feeling.
I found though that symptoms changed regularly in the first few weeks and I tried not to focus on them too much. They seemed to come in waves, so I'd feel awful for a few days, very sore boobs etc and then have a couple of days of nothing. I used to be pleased when the nausea came back!
It's still early days so all you can do is take it a day at a time and recognise it's normal to feel anxious. You haven't had any new bleeding so chances are everything is okay.
Do you have an early scan booked? I booked one for around 8/9 weeks and it was good to know that I wouldn't be waiting until 12.
Fingers crossed for you!

I'm so sorry to read your post, sadly this is one time when you don't know what the outcome will be. I've been in your position and have had both good and sad outcomes. It really is the pits and knowing you can't do anything somehow made it worse for me.

I didn't want to read and run. I truly hope all works out for you

So sorry that you are worried.

With both my pregnancies I had brown spotting at 6 weeks... It was implantation spotting.

I will be hoping for you that this spotting is just your baby digging in deep and settling in.

Thank you all. It's lovely that even when you post nonsense into the ether, people come back with lovely comments.
Naschkatze yes! I'm willing the nausea to come back. Who'd have thought you'd cling to that sort of thing?!
I'm just trying to stay positive, hope it is just implantation bleeding, as you say MrsMontomerySmythe.

I just wish I could switch my brain off. I'm going to listen to radio 4 and try and get some sleep.

Thank you again for your kind words.

Ook you are not posting nonsense. I hope you manage to catch up on some zzz

I had brown spotting from 6-10 weeks with a bright red bleed at 10 weeks. Had two scans at 6 + 10 weeks. I was so sure baby has gone at 10 weeks but it was fine! Was so shocked! Mw said probably a burst blood vessel. Hope your ok x

Firstly mild cramping is a good sign. Pregnancy symptoms also come and go and sickness can be a sign of mc anyway. I had bleeding with both of my pregnancies of all colours for weeks.

It's impossible to know if it is the end or not.

By 6 weeks it is possible to have a scan btw, so maybe try and get one this week?

And it's not nonsense, bleeding in pregnancy is just awful

Just wanted to thank everyone for their reassurances. Not much to report. No more blood so I am just watching and waiting, which is al I can do.

Pregnancy after miscarriage was the hardest thing for me. Every change in my pregnancy triggered anxiety, but this time had a positive, beautiful ending.
I remember sitting in the shower crying at about 14 weeks, as I had got home from work and suddenly realised I wasn't exhausted.
It can be fine, and all work out. I hope those around you who know understand.

I'm finding it surprisingly hard being pregnant after MMC (despite being fairly relaxed normally) so am completely with you.

Am 4+2 after 2 MCs and a CP. totally totally with you. Am trying very hard to keep busy and not focus on any (non)symptoms. It is so so hard though and will be a very long 8 weeks x
