1st Trimester
Spotting at 9-10 weeks
When I woke up on Friday morning I noticed I was spotting. Scared the living crap out of me. Last time I had this, I lost the baby. So, I got up and called the doctor right away and went in for another ultrasound. There was a heartbeat at 173 beats per minute, but they notice and pocket of blood between the amniotic sac and my uterine wall. They said that it was normal and about 70% of women have this. I don't remember what they called it. Then the spotting went away, and came back and has been that way ever since. I know it is "normal", but it still scares me so much. This is our 5th pregnancy and this is the longest one to last. They say "everything will be fine, don't worry", but how can you not. I feel like putting myself on bed rest and not moving for a while, but really what good will that do besides give me a back and neck ache. Anyone else ever have this experience, how did you handle it, and do you have any advice. I try not to worry, but just cant help it!
Happy baby growing to everyone out there!

What color is the blood?
At this stage, the best thing you can do is relax as much as possible. Allow yourself some time before before assuming the worst. Truth is, tons of women do spot. Bear of luck.
With DD's pregnancy I started spotting around 9 wks. Having just had a mc 3months before I was pretty much freaking out and convinced I was losing this baby too. I went to the dr and the np found DD's HB on the Doppler at 9wks 5days.
I burst into tears of relief, drove straight to Carter's and bought two new born outfits (1 girl and 1 boy) and hung them in my closet. I was determined to make myself believe that this pregnancy would give a baby. It didn't stop the terrible dreams I had on and off until she was born, but the spotting stopped.
Losses are TERRIBLE and I am so sorry you have had so many. Try forcing some positive thinking on yourself and H&H 9months!
I understand, I have lost 2 already. With this pregnancy at 9 weeks I began to bleed, went straight to the ER. I was told the same thing. I am now 12 weeks and everything seems to be good, babies h/b is 176 and we seen him/her moving around. I cried, but I still felt nervous with every tingle. I can say not to stress but its hard. I feel a little better now. What I did was put myself on light duties. LOL but true, I rested every chance I could and still do.
Just know that its not the best thing in the world to see but it is not the worse. Relax and Happy Growing
It has come and gone, but it isn't horrible. I rest as much as I can. I went to the doctor on friday and baby's h/b was 173 a minute. Everything seems to be alright so far, and on Tues my husband and I go in for an ultrasound and some tests. Hope your doing well. Thank you for the encouragement!
Glad you heard the h/b that seemed to calm me a little. So far I am great, about to enter my second trimester. Wish you all the best :-)
