Scared

in Pregnant after a Loss

Hello ladies,

I need a little support. (My husband is great but sometimes you need to talk to women who understand where you're coming from.)  I'm 8w3 days pregnant.  This is my third pregnancy but I only have one child.  I had a D&E for a miscarriage in January and got pregnant right away.  I was happy and nervous at the same time.  I started to have a lot of nausea like my first (insert "healthy") pregnancy so I started to get excited. 

Well yesterday after my husband and I had sex after none in a couple of weeks, I bled.  Not spotted, bled.  Anyway, I'm frightened! I wore a pad and bled a little for an hour.  The reason this scares me is I had bleeding with my last pregnancy at 8 weeks.  I had an ultrasound and everything was okay.  Three weeks later, I bled again and it was a little heavier and had some clots.  I knew it wasn't good.  I'm nervous now because I'm hoping and praying everything is okay.  I didn't call my doctor because I'm afraid of having an ultrasound, getting a good result, having a false sense of security (again), only to miscarry in a few weeks. 

I don't know what to do.  I know I should call but my nerves can't take it.  I feel like if I'm miscarrying, there's nothing that can be done anyway. 

 

Ugh!

 

Thanks for listening (reading)!

    Try not to be scared, your cervix could just be easily irritated. If it is a miscarriage the chance it was caused by sex are low. Try to be calm and call the doctor in the morning.

    I will be praying for you! You should call your doctor tho. I know it's scary but maybe the bleeding was from something else and it's just safe to be checked. Hoping and praying its nothing!!!

    Everyone is different, but here is my experience if it helps. I only had one period between my miscarriage and second current pregnancy. I started bleeding at week 5 and alternated between spotting and bleeding, no clots, until week 8. Sex made it worse.

    I bled after sex the first time we did it after our BFP. I was a mess until our u/s. Turns out all is well, I am 23 weeks now. I still freak out every time we have sex and make DH check the situation before I will even move, but he deals with my crazy. I

    I decided to call the doctor and she wants me to get an ultrasound next week but not to worry.  I'm trying not to worry.
