Brown discharge at 10 weeks

[tmc14]

I know none of you can say either way, but feeling quite anxious as have had some (not a lot) of brown discharge today. I’m 10 weeks 3 days pregnant with my second. No spotting at all with my first, and this is the first time in this pregnancy. I didn’t have lots of symptoms to start with but my mild nausea has gone and my boobs no longer sore.

I had a private scan at 8 weeks as I’m impatient, which showed good growth & strong heartbeat. I’m almost 40, which I think is not helping my anxiety!

Guess I’m looking for the odds of it being nothing, with the odds of it being the start of bad news. x

Try not to worry could be anything even your cervix softening causing this or even sex?speak to your midwife to ease your mind and please think positive scary and hard to I know!Fingers crossed everything is as it should be a Good luck with your pregnancy xx

Thank you for the reply. It got worse but has now eased off. I spoke to epu and if it’s still going in the morning I should get a referral from my GP. We had sex on Saturday night, seems a little delayed for that but maybe not? I’ll try and stay positive! I know there’s nothing I can do but wait really.

Not too sure hun but worth a mention to them if it doesnt ease up x
All the best x

Hi, sadly today my bleeding turned red, with lots of clots & cramping. Got referral to EPU, who confirmed a miscarriage. Baby stopped growing a few days after our 8 week scan. It’s been a long & tiring day, but am physically ok. Taking some time to rest and recover. Thank you for replying yesterday, I appreciated it x

I'm so sorry OP

Oh huh I'm am very saddened to hear that have they offered you any aftercare?
Take the time you need for you both to grieve for your child my thoughts and prayers are with you and for a speedy recovery sending you a big hug xxx

Was an oh not an OH hun x

Goodness me silly post abbreviations!apologises but seriously take the time to heal xx

How have you been?silly question as it may seem!

It’s not a silly question, and thank you for asking. Apologies for not replying before now. I haven’t been offered specific aftercare. Physically I’m actually doing well I think. EPU were great and think they removed remaining tissue and the sac there and then. So I’m bleeding still but not too bad. Little bit of an ache in my lower stomach but don’t even need paracetamol. So I think my physical recovery will be ok. Emotionally obviously it’s much harder and I’m so sad. I’m lucky in that I have a smiley, energetic toddler to keep me occupied and my husband is being great at looking after me. I hope this wasn’t my only chance at a second child (I’m almost 40 so age is against me) but once we’re ready we will try again.

Please dont apologise for delay in response at all it's your time to grieve and recovery. Please see If they can offer you any sort of aftercare nearly lost my first baby in labour it effected me and DH for ages wasnt offered any after care even though I'd asked. 4 years later I can only talk about it.
I hope your body recovers quickly and hun it's when you're on your own that you feel it.
Let your body recover and try again when youre ready.sending you big hugs xx
