Unsure how to feel

My first appointment was Monday and I measured 5 weeks 5 days on my ultrasound, no heartbeat yet but we saw the yolk in the sac. Tuesday afternoon I started having horrible lower back pain, bright red bleeding and passing clots. My doctors office couldn't get me in till this morning, I've had a miscarriage before so I knew sitting in the er waiting room half the night wouldn't do me any good. I walked into ultrasound this morning fully expecting no baby to be there but there it was measuring 6 weeks 1 day and the heart was beating 113. The tech said it had probably started beating just a few hours before. I was in complete shock to say the least. I was grateful to see that little heartbeat but I am still bleeding a lot, still passing clots, and still in a lot of pain. All the Dr could say was that either in a few days it will get better or in a few days I'll have a miscarriage. I want to have hope with that little heartbeat but at the same time I just don't see how I could bleed like this and hurt like this and go on to have a normal pregnancy. I'm just numb.

Re: Unsure how to feel

  • Sending all my prayers. There are plenty of reason why women bleed while pregnant. And many go on to have healthy pregnancies too. I hope the bleeding subsides for peace of mind, and you will get to see the beating heart again soon.

  • Agreed with pp many women bleed and go on to have healthy pregnancies. Hang in there.
  • Hopefully this will comfort you. I have been bleeding a lot with this pregnancy, and with bad cramping. Everytime I go the baby gets bigger and the heartbeat gets stronger. Hang in there mama, and keep us updated.

  • Thank you ladies, I'm trying to find hope. Having had a miscarriage before and this feeling so much the same is hard though. @VikingGirl12 have you passed lots of small clots along with the bleeding?
  • Did they mention a subchorionic hemorrhage? That causes a lot of bleeding, but doesn't affect the pregnancy...
  • No. They just told me that either I would miscarry or I wouldn't, but they couldn't tell me anything. I can call if it keeps up and they will let me come in for another ultrasound to check. Otherwise I'm just to come back in 2 weeks for my 8 week ultrasound.
  • Did they mention a subchorionic hemorrhage? That causes a lot of bleeding, but doesn't affect the pregnancy...
    Yes, I had ^^^ this with my first son, he is 3.5yrs old now! It was very scary, but we made it. I know it's hard, but try and stay positive!

  • I'm so sorry you are going through this. I know it's so hard not knowing what will happen. Just for peace of mind my SIL had a lot of bleeding and cramping during her first pregnancy. She was even told by the midwife at one point she was having a miscarriage. My niece is a happy and healthy 18 month old. Women bleed for a lot of reasons during pregnancy. Hang in there and keep us posted as you can. Big hugs.

    Thanks everyone, the pain I've been in for the past two days seems to have tapered off during the night. Still bleeding but at least I'm able to take care of my two year old again.
  • I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. I really hope that now that the pain has subsided, you are in the clear and everything will turn out ok. FX. Thinking of you!
  • I'm so sorry your'e experiencing this. 
    long shot - you would have said, but did they look for another sac? 
    I know a mom who experienced the same as you - but the bleeding and clots were from a twin that didn't make it....
