I'm Bleeding and Cramping

Make sure you get an appointment and go in for an ultrasound. That is the only way you can rest assure that you may or may NOT be having a miscarriage. If they tell you to wait. Demand an appointment anyway!
Everyones body is different and reacts different. Only an ultrasound can give you a precise answer.

the same thing happen to me but it stop after a few days .please seek another Dr advice I'll be praying for you

First I want to say that my heart goes out to you. I hope and pray that everything is Okay. All I know is that at the beginning of my pregnancy I did have a little bit of light bleeding, spotting really. And now I have a beautiful and healthy 4 month old boy. So don't freak out at the first sign of blood, well try not to. And don't feel bad calling your doctors and asking tons of questions. That's what they get paid for. I wish you the best.

It sounds like you need to find another doctor. Even if it is nothing, he/she should be more concerned. It's your first child AND you are over 30, so you are at a higher risk for miscarriage. I hope everything is fine, but you should see another doctor. I could see if it happened and stopped, but you sound like it's ongoing which can't be good.

I'd be in my doctor's office demanding to be seen! Seems like just to be on the safe side or to assure you they would have asked you to come in.

Hi D.,

You might want to see your doctor on Monday. You won't know one way or the other until you are examined. I had 2 miscarriages before my first son was born. Some people have some bleeding early in their pregnancies, but you need to know. The doctor may not have been concerned because he may know that there is nothing he can do. If you "are" having a miscarriage, he can't do anything about it. If you aren't, there is nothing he needs to do.

I'll keep you and your baby in my prayers, but know that you aren't alone and that sometimes things happen that are beyond our control.

Good luck!!

The same thing happened to me with my first and she is fine. It is very scarry though and your doctor should be a little concerned. Call your doctor again and insist on being seen for a sonogram. That will tell all.

Good luck...

Go see a doctor now! I can only share our experience with you in regards to this but please go see your ob'gyn now to be safe. You need to take care of you and your baby during this time.
Just don 't freak out just yet. Stress can contribute to more problems. I know easier said than done. Just go and find out what going on.

I was 35 when my husband and I got pregnant and had the same symptoms. Its called "implantation bleeding". Its something that the body does to "cleanse itself" while the baby grows through each early stages. It happened to me in the beginning at 6 weeks and continued 2-3 months. It does stop.
I have heard women who have bleeding their whole pregnancy. I personally did not.

Your description of cramps has got me concerned.
It could be a phase or could be more serious.

The doctor will want you to either go to the lab or ER for blood work and/or ultrasound. Hang in there. I know It is a very scary thing to experience and to go through.
I hope you find the extra comfort in our words now during this time. You are not alone.
Just go get checked out.
I 'll be thinking of you and keep us posted.

I never spotted while I was pregnant, but my best friend did. She was in her 1st trimester (sp) too. Her doctor told her that it was normal, several women do this. The only thing that concerns me with your situation is the bright red blood. I would call your doctor and stress the situation and if he/she still doesn't give you a response, go to ER. The ER will do an ultrasound to see what's going on. I wish the absolute best for you and your family!

I've heard that's normal, but it didn't happen to me. I don't think the doctors really care until your 3 months. Most people will probably tell you it's normal, but if your worried sick over it that's not helping you or the baby so I'd say if that doctor won't take you serouisly, find one that will! I hope everything will be okay for you.

I experienced bleeding and spotting within the first six weeks. I went to the ER and they did an ultrasound to verify if the fetus was okay or if I was miscarrying. It's scary as hell, I completely understand what you're going through. Call your Doctor again and/or GO to the ER. I endend up on and off bedrest before and after having a cerclage (sp?) - vaginal stitch. I now have three year old fraternal twins. My prayers are with you. All the best.

Sounds normal to me, I had the same thing happen to me at around 2 months with both pregnancies. It wen away. I f you have heavy bright red bleeding with cramps and/or fever you need to call your doctor back...

Hey D.,
I spotted with both of my children during the 1st trimester. And I understand your concern totally because I did miscarry our first child. So I'm not at all diminishing your worries, because that is what a good mom is supposed to do! The best thing you can do, is take good care of yourself. Get plenty of rest, walking is great exercise and eat healthy, lots of fruits and veggies...raw of course if you can! That is the absolute most important thing you can do for you and your little baby! Both of my girls are very healthy, they are 5 and 2 now. Let me know if I can help in any other way!
Lots of hugs to you and your little baby!

Go see you obgyn immediantly. I can also only tell you from experience. I have had 2 miscarriages and you need to definitly have the doctor do an ultrasound to make sure everything is ok. Good luck and the best to you.

If I were you--get a 2ND OPINION. If you are still bleeding, I would make a trip to the emergency room or beg for an appt with your doctor. I can't say what it could be because I have never been through it but I would want to be safe than sorry and understand what was going on. It could be number of things: one is what you stated; some women get the their cycles even after they get pregnant; or body is just adjusting. I had a friend that was pregnant with twins and she spotted early on as well. These are some of the things that I have heard of.

I hope this helps you out some. Just do what you think is right and comfortable with.

It's always to be safe then sorry. I personally have had alot of issues staying pregnant. I am 25 and have had 9 miscarriage and have one beautiful child and I'm 14 weeks with my second.

You seem really scared and concerned. You can always go to your local emergency dept. Where they will generally do a pelvic exam and ultrasound.

You should demand an appointment or go to the ER where they can do bloodwork and an ultrasound. Bleeding during pregnancy and miscarriage are both common occurances, but your peace of mind is more important than what's "just another day at the office" to your doctor. Doctor's can be quite insensitive about these things. If you aren't miscarrying, the last thing you need is the added stress and worry! Best wishes.

This has happened to me with my first pregnancy,very early in the pregnancy in fact. I hope you put yourself on bedrest until it resolved itself. This being stay in bed except for potty breaks. keep your Dr. informed, there's nothing they can do if something is happening, thats why don't seem too concerned. I hope everything turns out fine for you. Rest yourself. Keep me informed.

Sorry I did not get this until now, and I pray that you and your child are doing fine. I think you should have immediately gone to the ER. ANYTIME you bleed like that (except after a routine checkup) go to the Dr. Also, PLEASE change doctors NOW!!!!!!!

I would go to your doctor first thing this morning to get checked again. I've had two miscarriages, and it sounds like how mine started. I hope it is nothing, but it's better to get checked just so you know for sure. They can take blood work and that will help them know because they can check the preg homone levels that way. Good luck and I hope everything turns out ok for you. I'll be praying for you throughout the day.

HI, I know its so nerve wracking, but I had that with all three pregnancies. Just call your doctor about it or if it gets worse, or if you need reassurance that its okay (the nurse used to take my calls! :) Congrats on the new baby!

Personally, I'd insist on a doctor's appt. If your doctor isn't listening to you, then I'd look for another doctor. Things may be 100% fine, but you need to be reassured, and that is one of your doctor's many jobs.

I'll be praying for you!

I would go to your doctor soon. Some bleeding is normal, but I think you should insist your doctor to do an ultrasound to make sure everything is okay. You are far enough along that they might even be able to hear the heartbeat. Definetely get it checked out. Follow your gut...when I had my miscarriage I knew the second I started bleeding.

I advice you to go see a doctor. you might be ok, but i experienced it before but i waited to late for the doctor to do anything.

I'm not certain that this is what you're going through but, this is my experience. With both of my pregnancies, I found out I was pregnant and then started bleeding, exactly the way you described your bleeding. The first time I went to the ER and was told I was having a miscarriage because of the bleeding and low HCG levels in my blood. That was on a Friday night and on Monday morning I saw my OB (I was as far along as you are) and my levels were up and they saw a sac in the ultrasound. The same thing happened with my second kiddo, ER and then follow up with a sac in the pic. So, they told me that it was bleeding around the implantation sight and it's very common. Mine came with cramping as well. So, my best advice is to sched. an appointment with your Doc to check your HCG levels and hopefully they'll do an ultrasound as well. Our daughter is now almost 4 and our son will be 2 in Nov. The most important thing is to relax, stress isn't good for you or your little one. Take a deep breath...Good luck and keep us posted!
