...yesterday about 8:30pm I went to the loo & there was a tiny bit of bright coloured blood - a bit like a cm of membrane. There was also a pinky discharge. The shock went right through me ( we were at a friends house), so I took rescue remedy & we came home. No more blood.

This am none at the first 2 morning pee's & now on the 3rd one, there is brownish things going on (not quite sure how to describe).

I've also got a sort of uncomfortable, but not painful, grinding, something-going-on feeling in my belly.

This is my 2nd pregnancy & I've never experienced this before, so really don't know what is happening/what to do.

Does anyone have any suggestions/ advice please ?

have you got someone to go with you mojomummy? a friend/relative?
i'm offering my services if they are needed to come with you. i know i'm a starnger to you but i just can't bare the thought of you being alone and needing someone to talk too.
i only live up the road from the hospital so no inconvenience to me! i would offer to look after children etc for hellybelly to go with you, but again we don't know each other so probably an even worse idea.

i do hope you have got someone who can go with you. which ever way the news goes its bound to be emotional.

Really hope you're ok. I had some similar bleeding with ds1 and they thought it was cervical erosion - common in preg.

HellyBelly · 14/08/2005 15:23

Vickiyumyum - thanks for the offer re: kids so I can go but unfortunately I'm a childminder and my mindee would need to be with a reg'd minder and the parents be happy with this.

vickiyumyum · 14/08/2005 15:31

i only just let my registration lapse! kept it going just in case, but recently decided it was a waste of money as wasn't likely to go back to childminding noe=w mine are older and both on their way to full time school.

hope mojomummy can find someone to go with her.

HellyBelly · 14/08/2005 15:35

HellyBelly · 14/08/2005 15:38

No probs vickiyumyum, will email her now! Thanks a lot for helping her - it was horrible for me when I went through it but I didn't have another child to look after and no dh at home for a week (he went tonight)

She could really do with a friend!

xx

vickiyumyum · 14/08/2005 20:13

thats ok, just hope i can be of some use and that it will be good news. fingers crossed for her!

Lonelymum · 14/08/2005 20:13

This happened to me with ds3 (fourth pg). I was convinced I had lost ds, but it turned out I was losing a blighted ovum, a kind of twin that never developed. Ds3 is fit and well and now 2.6. I don't want to get your hopes up too high, perhaps it is better to expect the worst, but all hope is not lost. I was also 9 weeks and my loss was a kind of brownish colour (old blood). A few days after getting the all clear, there was loads more - really horrid. I hope you have lots of support with you. Poor you.

Maddison · 14/08/2005 21:07

Good luck for tomorrow mojomummy, keeping my fingers crossed.

starlover · 14/08/2005 21:09

everyone has probably already said this.... but it may well be ok!

i had bleeding at 6 weeks. first a fair bit of bright red blood... and thena brownish discharge for several days
i went to hospital who sent me up to EPU. I had a scan and baby was fine. they could see no reason for the bleed.

anyway, i now have a healthy 6 month old!

champs · 14/08/2005 23:07

Hello, Vickiyumyum very kindly came to the hospital with me this am.

I had a pregnancy test which showed as positive, but unfortunately the scan didn't pick much up so I had an internal scan. This show no heartbeat & instead of being 8 weeks & 1 day (got my maths wrong) showed as 5 weeks. I presume this means no growth for the last 3 weeks. I think it's called a non-viable pregnancy ?

I'm so upset because I really wanted this baby & all our little family plans & expectations etc have just gone. The timing was just right & it's just all over.

I've been offered the op where they remove all the retained stuff. The Dr was very nice & explained how things would be if I left it, bleeding, passing clots etc. I'm booked in for tomorrow but wondering if I'm a bit rash, but not sure I want reminders for the next week or so

The only thing I can think is at least it never developed, rather than becoming alive with a heartbeat & then dying.

My hubby is away & he'll be phoning tonight...I'm not sure what to tell him as he is almost the other side of the world...
