Threatened Miscarriage (UPDATE)

MateyStratton

So... It's been a. Long couple of weeks. I'm currently 10 weeks and ever since I was 6/7 weeks I have been spotting brown blood/discharge on and off. I went to my OB twice for this and they confirmed it was nothing and brown blood was nothing to worry about. Monday night at around 2am I woke up to go to the bathroom when I noticed red blood. I immediately panicked and woke up my partner. Then I got a horrible pain and went to the bathroom again, I passed what I thought was the baby, and it was the size of my hand. I put a glove on and took the mass out of the toilet and ran water over it only to see I had passed a blood clot that was the size of my hand. This worried me so we went to the ER. They didn't tell me much, just that blood clots this size are completely normal. They used a Doppler and said they heard a heartbeat, wouldn't give me an ultrasound because I had just had one on Thursday. I was just confused cause the heartbeat the nurse said was the babies sounded more maternal then fetal. So I was diagnosed with a threatened miscarriage, the dr didn't take my blood, didn't check my cervix, nothing. The next morning I called and made an appointment with my OB. She wasn't in that day so they put me on bed rest and scheduled me to come in on Wednesday. Well, go in and still have the same diagnosis of a threatened miscarriage. She attempted to use the Doppler and confirmed that the heartbeat the nurse at the ER assumed to be fetal was in fact maternal. (I knew it) The dr checked my cervix and said it looked like tissue was coming out which meant it was open and scheduled an ultrasound for me this Friday at 11:45. I have been a nervous wreck. I had a loss in December due to a blighted ovum. I'm just scared this pregnancy will end in a loss. Is there anything I can do to get my cervix to close or is it just a waiting game at this point?


UPDATE: Just got home from our Ultrasound where believe it or not we got great news. Our little peanut was perfect, and the tech said everything looked good and the heartbeat was 177. I will not be able to speak to my Dr. until Monday. Which also happens to be my birthday. Thank all of you ladies who took the time to read my post and give me your T&Ps.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. You are in my thoughts.

MateyStratton

@tripletoe‌ Thank You, it means a lot to me.

I'm so sorry. I don't think there is anything you can do to close your cervix. Try to hang in there.

I'm so sorry:( I had a loss in jan and my cervix was closed to start with and they said threatened. If there is a loss then it will dilate to expel the tissue eventually.

Hugs for you and my thoughts are with you

MateyStratton

@LuckyPenny1231‌ I didn't think there was, I just thought maybe Id ask just in case cause I heard kegels would help but me being on bed rest means pelvic rest to and I don't want to do anymore harm. Thanks!

MateyStratton

@LovelyLips‌ it's just so heartbreaking. I didn't think a loss would happen to me once, let alone twice in a row. Thank You. It's all just confusing cause the blood stops completely and then spots, and then is a little heavier than spotting and then just stops again.

I'm so sorry you are experiencing this. I also had a recent blighted ovum and know the heartache and nerves that came with this pregnancy. I will be praying and hoping for the best for you.

MateyStratton

I'm so sorry. I hope Friday gets here quickly and you get some good news. I hate that you have to wait. 

MateyStratton

@LittleMsLewis‌ I have been so anxious. Waiting since Monday night to know exactly what's happening. It's been very emotional. I have a lot of people on my side and praying for me. Thank You for caring. :x

I'm so sorry. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do to close your cervix. It's so sad, but if a miscarriage is going to happen, there's nothing anyone can do. Good luck to you.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Unfortunately, there's nothing they can really do if you're having a miscarriage. Good luck tomorrow.

praying for you - been there.  Hoping things work out differently for you!

@Pips09‌ @luciddreamer106‌ @kursem thanks all of you :x

ADALLASBRIDE

Google "cerclage" That is a procedure that will put a stitch to close up an incompetent cervix however I don't know if you have to be further along. Sorry you are experiencing this!

MateyStratton

@ADALLASBRIDE‌ @ACH831‌ Thank You :x @ICarriedAWatermelon‌ I haven't been bleeding very heavy and I haven't had any cramping. But my Dr did mention a small amount of tissue coming out of the cervix. Just praying to have a heartbeat tomorrow, hoping for the best. Thanks

MateyStratton

I didn't get a chance to comment before but I'm so glad to hear about the positive update! Here is to hoping peanut doesn't give you any more scares the rest of the pregnancy. I can't promise no scares when they start to walk and talk.
