Pregnant after a Loss

More spotting 2nd u/s is tomorrow...

So today has been sucky.  I've had dull cramps all day and just came home to a tiny bit of brown spotting (again).  According to my first u/s visit I'm 6 weeks 2 days today (as far as my first pregnancy went).  That's probably what has my mind in the pit. 

I'm trying to think how loves is and that there is no point worrying.  It's out of my hands.  I just want this LO so badly and I hate that every little thing makes me worry.  I just want to be normal.

DH is at work and made me a yummy dinner, but I don't feel like eating it.  I had a gigantic oatmeal chocolate chip cookie from Great Harvest instead.

On top of that DHs grandmother is not well.  She's been in a nursing home for 6 years after a stroke and they don't think she has more than a few days.  We're going to drive down there tomorrow morning before my appointment to say good-bye.

  • I am so sorry that you are going through all of this.  I know I have started avoiding the bathroom because I don't want to see any more spotting.  My OB told me today though that around 40% of normal pregnancies have some sort of spotting or bleeding.  I hope that helps ease your mind a little.  You will definitely be in my thoughts tomorrow.

    Thanks.  I too had some spotting on my vacation last week.  I had my first u/s last week and saw the gestational sac and yolk sac.  My OB said everything looked perfect for where I was at in the pregnancy.  She also said a lot of women have spotting bleeding during their entire pregnancy and go on to have healthy babies.  I was just hoping that it was done for good.

  • I am so sorry, Peetie. I would be nervous too. And all my "advice" would go out the window. Just think about HOW MANY ladies on here have spotting and end up with healthy babies. You have great odds.

    I'm sorry to hear about DH's grandmother. I hope you have a nice bit of time with her.

  • I'm thinking of you. I had spotting from weeks 5-8 almost every day. Some days it was very dark brown. I was so worried and had 2 ultrasounds during the 3 weeks. They never saw a reason for spotting and it went away at week 8.

    Thoughts and prayers for your and LO.
