symptoms decreased and spotting 8 weeks - handhold

[orzo15]

Hello, i am i think between 7+5-8 weeks, not exactly sure. From 5 weeks i have had nausea and vomiting, over christmas i was at home with family and was sick for 10 days in a row. Since i got back home i have barely felt nauseous, only really when brushing my teeth.
I had pink/brown spotting just before i found out i was pregnant, at 5 weeks for 1 day which stopped, then some red bleeding at 6+5 which i think was due to straining as i was really constipated and i have a cervical ectropian, and since then its been only tiny bits of brown but i woke up today to pink/brown again.

I had a MMC a year ago, at 13 weeks baby died at 10+2. I decided i did not want any early scans this time as i had perfect scans at 7 and 8 weeks last time and still had a miscarriage. But as i keep having spotting i decided today to get checked out so i have an appointment tomorrow morning. I am terrified of the thought of scans since the MMC and given my sickness has stopped and the constant spotting i have completely resigned myself to this being another miscarriage. What makes this all harder is that i am doing this as a single mum by choice so i feel very alone in this with no one at home to distract me from my worries, so reaching out here for some support

Really sorry you're going through such a stressful time, especially doing this on your own.
Wishing you every bit of luck with your scan today, hope it's good news and can put your mind at ease.
I'm 6weeks at the moment, 2 MC before my DD and now pregnant hoping for our second. Trying to keep calm and positive but once you've been through a miscarriage it does drastically change your outlook.

Thank you for your reply. The scan is tomorrow morning so just need to get through today somehow! It really does change everything about pregnancy, i felt so naive to what could go wrong the first time after seeing a heartbeat and a growing baby at 8 weeks. The shock was immense at the next scan. I feel prepared for it this time, but the thought of trying again and going through all the motions of negative tests and then crippling anxiety during the early weeks just makes me feel so low

Wishing you a healthy pregnancy, how are you feeling?

Spotting is really common in the first trimester so please try not to stress. As for symptoms- for some people they ease up at that point. for me in both my pregnancies they disappeared for about 72 hours and then came back with vengeance. good luck!!!

Thank you, i have tried telling myself that but it just seems like too much spotting throughout to be normal, and alongside sickness decreasing massively i feel very hopeless about it :(

Hey. You sound quite similar to me. At 5weeks I have red blood for couple days. Thought the worse so I went through early pregnancy unit. Second scan at 6+weeks has shown a heart beat. I have a private scan next week I will be 9weeks 4 days, I want the scan for reassurance. Last few days I have been spotting brown which I believe has stopped now. One time after sex few days ago I had red blood after.
I have never really had any strong pregnancy symptoms. At week 6 I had slight nausea for maybe two days. And I remember one day I was completely off food. My breasts were SO sore. Now at 8 weeks 4 days my breasts are only a tiny bit sore, but I am SO bloated that it can be painful. 0 sickness. So I am looking at the spotting and pregnancy symptoms disappearing as a negative ?! I cannot wait till next week scan to know what is going on 🥺

hey @Kmgxx sorry you are in the same worrying place, its so difficult isn't it. A scan showing a heartbeat at 6 weeks is really good but i understand how it does not reassure for long especially with spotting. My sickness was really bad over christmas, was sick every day. I was eating crap though so maybe its down to that, seeing as i am now back home eating healthy again! I had bad food aversions as well though which have completely gone.

Fingers crossed for your next scan, is it your first pregnancy?

I know exactly, it is very worrying. Sorry you have to go through this also! And I hope everything is fine with you! 🥺
it is my first pregnancy, but I really want this so cannot stop the worry. Also, I don’t know what to expect symptom wise so I’m all over google. Having the extreme bloating is a good sign right? I think the spotting has stopped now, I hope! I just want a bit of sickness to show me everything is okay. That might sound crazy. 🥹

Unfortunately sickness does not necessarily mean good news, i had sickness until 10 weeks in my pregnancy last year that ended in a MMC and i've had awful sickness this time, so its no reassurance to me. I'm sure you will be fine after seeing a heartbeat already, odds of miscarriage drop significantly after that, i was just unlucky x

Update in case anyone comes across this, I went for my scan this morning and all was fine! Baby measuring exactly by my dates and saw a heartbeat. I am in shock because id utterly convinced myself it was a miscarriage given the spotting and my history.

Not out the woods yet as last time I also saw a heartbeat at this stage, but trying to remember this is a different pregnancy ❤️

Hello,

Sorry to jump in but was reading the thread and saw your update.

i can 100% relate to your anxiety and im so glad that the scan went well today. Fingers crossed for you xx

Thank you. The anxiety is awful, constant analysing everything. Pregnancy after loss really takes away the naivety and excitement from the first time around xx

Amazing! Very happy for you x
my scan is next Wednesday. My spotting now has stopped/ slowed down a lot. So I think everything is okay I hope🥹xxx

Thank you! 😊 Mine has too, she said she thinks it's just my cervix and nothing to worry about, so yours probably is too! Good luck with the scan I hope it goes ok xx

I'm so glad the news was good OP, I've been there twice with both positive and negative outcomes... I'll keep my fingers crossed that this little one sticks for you and the others on this thread. Stay strong and hopeful ladies xx

I'm so happy to see this OP! I also had a MMC and am pregnant, its so stressful. I hope you have an uneventful rest of your pregnancy.

Thank you so much @WolfMother326 it is so stressful. I hope you do as well :)

iv got the exact same symptoms and booked in the EPU today for a scan.. was this a successful pregnancy? i’m so anxious the soreness in my boobs has disappeared, started with brown discharge yesterday only bits of i put my finger up. TMI

So sorry I didn’t see your comment until now. Yes, the result of this is currently snoozing next to me taking up half the bed 😊 I hope all went well for you
