very slight spotting and constant lower abdominal niggling

Helloo,

I'm 7+3. Feeling rather anxious as I've had a mmc before. I got some pink spotting yesterday that today has been more v light brown and, I know its probably nothing sinister and possibly cervical erosion, but I've also got constant, not particularly painful, but worrying pain in my lower abdomin (can't remember how to spell that). Its difficult to describe, worse when my bladder's full. I haven't had any pain on going to the loo, but I'm wondering if its a UTI- but what about the spotting? (am drinking plenty of fluids and just necked a glas of cranberry juice) Tried to book a docs appt for tomorrow morning, but they won't let me book one until the morning due to a shortage of doctors and they're trying to minimise appointments. Said I knew I'd want an appt in the morning so why not book me one, but they refused. I thought about stretching pains, but they tend to come and go. This is worse if I move around a lot. Feeling very anxious and DH not helping but irritating the hell out of me saying that I'm not communicating with him as I deliberated all morning in my own head before telling him I thought I would try to make a doc appt. He reckons I should tell him EVERYTHING straight away as this is as much his deal as mine. If he knew how much I am totally consumed with this pregnancy, he'd probably get bored very quickly. I'm also feeling pants because he'd doing all the DIY while I'm here worrying about pain and spotting. Want to cry, feel very useless and helpless. Anyone else had any pain like this? What was it? UTI? Sorry to blah on- no one else to share it with and I'll just blow up at my DH, and if I get upset, he'll bloody start thinking I'm having a go at him ARGHHH!

Sorry...

Hi Elsa - I'm sorry to hear you're having a sucky time...I'm in the same boat as you I'm 7+4 and I've been spotting off and on since 6 weeks, a very dark brown color. I've also had morning sickness and those shooting pains like my uterus is stretching.

I think what you are having is pretty normal right now. I've also had some more pain before having to go pee, maybe just the pressure? I don't know. Every little twinge and bubble, I am freaking out because I'm trying to decipher what each means...impossible!

Try to be patient and get in for a scan. Keep me posted .
