November Chit Chat

princess - I'm sorry you're so stressed. I'll be praying all will be well at your scan, then you can relax and enjoy the rest of the pregnancy.

Thanks Ladies........My spotting had stopped but started again this morning...I will be calling my Dr. in the morning. I just don't know what to think anymore. I hope it is nothing but.....I have a bad feeling these days. Don't mean to be a downer ladies.
Hope everyone else is well.

I'm sure it's hard to think positively with that going on princess, but it may really not be a problem with the baby causing the bleeding. I know your doctor said there was nothing he could do and you were waiting for a scan at the end of the month - but I do hope he'll consider getting you in for a scan now because this is torture for you. More {hugs}

[Mochagirl]

I agree - your doctor should let you get a scan ASAP, especially since you've had a loss before and that makes you more anxious.

Sorry You're down Princess. ((HUGS))! Is it just light spotting here and there? I had some light spotting at 10 weeks with DS3 and my doc wasn't a bit concerned, especially if there are no bad cramping. Will they at least get you in for a heartbeat check to put your mind at ease? I will be thinking of you. As for movement, I wasn't feeling anything up until just recently and it's only like flutter-like feelings. I was so concerned and my doc said that it's normal and all depends on baby's position and placement of the placenta. but I know how you feel cause I still don't feel the strong kicks I felt with the other three by this time in my pregnancy, and that worries me at times. hope you are feeling better and I'll check in to hear your good news!

Hey ladies - I've now started spotting. Nothing dramatic, but I definitely saw pink when I wiped. I still have a terrible cough, and (TMI) I wet my pants all the time when I have a particularly bad coughing spell. I also have lots and lots of ew-type cm. Could the violent coughing be causing the spotting? I've never spotted in any of my pregnancies, but my midwife at my appointment last week said that spotting when you wipe should never be a big worry - just if you have blood dripping down your legs...so I'm trying not to worry.

[Mochagirl]

I'm starting to get scared here. What started as pink when I wiped is now red and almost heavy as a light period day. I wore a pantiliner to bed last night and it soaked through. I can feel it coming all the time just like a period. I have very slight period-like cramping, but my muscles are so sore from coughing all the time that it could just be that. I just paged my midwife and am waiting to hear back from her.

[Indira]

Oh Mocha how scary, I hope your midwife will get back to you very quickly and that you get some good news very soon.
Meanwhile I´m thinking of you, hugs

princess and mocha... Sorry about the issues, I hope everything turns out ok.

[Mochagirl]

My midwife got me an u/s for tomorrow at 8:30am. It's going to be a loooong day. The way she put it, it's just a waiting game at this point. Even if I see a heartbeat tomorrow, if I keep bleeding this much I may still lose the baby. She said the u/s just gives you a snapshot of this moment in time, but I said I still wanted it because if the baby is already gone I want to know so I can start to grieve and move on.
