Do you think I'm having another miscarriage?

Question

Back in May I was about 7 weeks prengant and started bleeding. I went in for several sonograms and had HCG levels done. Turns out I had a missed miscarriage and had a d&c. I got pregnant 1 month after my procedure, and now I'm 7 & 2/7 weeks pregnant. I started bleeding again today. I did go when I was 6 weeks along and had a sonogram and we saw the baby and a heartbeat, but now with the bleeding again makes me worried because of what happend just a few months ago. I'm not having any cramps today, I did have minor cramps a few days ago. The bleeding isn't too bad..browinsh pink color. I mainly notice it only when I wipe. I'm going to wait until Monday morning to call my doctors and try to get in for a sonogram, but was wondering if any of you other women went through this and what you outcome was. Thanks.

Answer 1

bleeding in a pregnancy is generally not a good sign.  you should not wait to call your docs, that's what they are there for to help you and your little one.  see if you can get checked for your progesterone level.  i had to take it for all four of my pregnancies.  ( I had five miscarriages prior to my first live child.)

Answer 2

Do not wait to call your doc, and if you don't want to call your doc get to the er. Any bleeding in pregnancy is not good, unless you're giving birth. I had a miscarriage, then got pregnant a couple months later, and I ended up having a blood clot in with the baby. I'm now due anyday with a healthy baby but you never know what it could be till you're checked. And you should be checked asap. Good luck

You should definitely get checked out by your doctor a.s.a.p. The blood could be old, and your body is trying to get rid of it. But since you have a history of early miscarriage, your chances of miscarriage again are about the same.

Answer 4

A friend of mine is having the same problem, she miscarried about 9 mths ago and found out she was pregnant recentley. She is on close watch with her drs because around the same time as the last she started bleeding, so far the drs have not been able to give her any definite answers as to why this is happening but she is currently 13wks and is doing ok. I think the best thing to do is go to the drs and get checked out. I myself had spotting around 8wks (not a lot a bit of pink when I wiped) but because I had cramping with it as well my dr put me on a hormone medication called prometrium which I continue to take today and baby looks great. Hope everything is ok!  

Answer 5

You need to wait a year after a miscarriage before trying again.  Many docs still say 6 months, but that is inadequate to completely recover emotionally and physically.  If you become pg less than a year after a miscarriage, risks of another miscarriage are increased.  

Yes, you may well have had another miscarriage here.  Wait at least a year before you try again or your body can go into "rejection mode" rejecting one after another.  And it may not show up while you are still young, but you have long-term health and other types of risks from having children less than 3 years apart or miscarriages less than a year apart.

Answer 6

I wouldn't be to concerned. I know it's hard not to be with your past, but I am speaking from experience. I have had three miscarriages, and four live births...One pregnancy was twins, and the twins didn't make it, they were premature, so long story short, I only have two living children. Obviously I was extremely cautious in my pregnancies due to my losses. In EVERY pregnancy I had, including the successful ones I had some spotting and bleeding the first three months.

Now aside from that, the fact that the blood is brown is a GREAT sign, it means its old blood. It could be implantation bleeding, or your cervix may have had some changes if you had s*x or recently had a pelvic exam or trans vaginal ultrasound.

I think its wise of you to let your Dr know, and to keep a close eye on it, but my guess is you have a perfectly healthy baby in there thats just scaring its mommy a bit.

Good luck and congrats on this baby, and condolences on your previous loss.
