1st Trimester

Miscarriage?

I'm 8 weeks 3days pregnant, I started having brownish blood earlier this week, then I went pee this morning and I looked in the toilet and it was all red pee. So I sat back n the toilet and it dripped. I haven't experienced cramping yet, but I feel like that isn't too far away, its been about thirty mins since I experienced that. My doctors nurse told me if it turns red and I can fill up a pad in an hour the I should go to the emergency room. I'm wondering if this is a miscarriage or if I'm having a period during pregnancy?! 

Re: Miscarriage?

  • It could be anything. Red blood is never a good sign, I would go and get it checked out if it turns red. Brown blood usually means old blood, but bright red blood, or blood resembling a period is never a positive sign, but doesn't always mean miscarriage (could mean infection, etc). But you would need to be seen by a medical professional to know for sure. 

    I had brown blood weeks 6,7,8,9, and 10 with this pregnancy, it was nothing. 

    GL, I hope it turns out for the better.

  • I agree that you should get it checked out. It may be nothing or could be something. There are a lot of reasons that could cause bleeding and not all of them mean a miscarriage. Some are harmless but you cant know until you get checked out. It's definitely not a period though since you are pregnant. Bleeding can happen but your aren't shedding your lining so it's not a period. Good luck. TP

  • Yes, head to the doc. I've heard of light spotting during pregnancy, but what you're describing would worry me!
  • So disheartning y'all.  I'll update you. Going to ER now.

  • Definitely keep us posted. It could be placenta previa or a hemorrhage. Both of which could mean your baby is just fine. Any way, I'm glad you are going to the ER. T&Ps.

  • Although some women bleed during pregnancy, you never have your period during pregnancy. I personally wouldn't go to the ER unless it gets heavy like they directed you, but try to get an appt with your OB first thing in the morning. I'm sorry you are going through this. 

    ETA: Just saw you are heading the to ER. Keep us posted and my thoughts are with you!

  • My miscarriage started with bleeding before I felt the cramps. They came hours later. I called doc and told her I thought I was having a miscarriage and they just had me keep my normal appointment and did ultrasound to make sure everything cleaned itself out. Good news is that I was pregnant again within three months. I'm very sorry for what you are having to deal with. Hopefully it's nothing, but if its a miscarriage there is a light at the end of the tunnel ;
  • Well, all was well at the ER. I got to see my baby for the first time heartbeat is good perfect baby! They believe the blood was caused by a difference in blood type. I have 0- and the think my baby could have 0+ . So they gave me an Rh shot. The doc also said some women have "periods" during the first few months. About 45 mins after I had the bloody pee we went to the ER and no more heavy flow. Just really light ,hear and there. It was a stressful morning, but when I saw that heartbeat on the ultrasound, it was just awesome! 
  • And thanks for all the good info and advice! Much appreciated! 
  • I'm so glad you were given good news. I've never heard of having a period during a pregnancy tho.

    Some women do bleed during pregnancy. But it's not a period. Your period is the shedding of your uterine lining. That isn't happening during pregnancy.

  • Yay, so glad everything is okay!  I probably would have gone to the ER, too.  Also, I had a friend who had "periods" during all of her pregnancies.  I have no idea why, or how... but she said she experienced bleeding once a month (even if it wasn't the shedding of the lining).
