Help. In Vietnam for work and pregnant bleeding and they say Threatened abortion

I'm in Vietnam for a work trip with my husband and son. I found out that I was pregnant on my flight out here last week. Two days ago I started spotting and then more bleeding with some tissue . Not soaking pads. I'm RH- and so to be cautious I went to the local hospital in search of a Rohgam shot. Didn't know if I needed one. Found out they don't have it here! I saw a gynecologist DR and they didn't do any blood work but she did do a outer and inner u/s. She said there was three things she saw. Two sacks ( one empty and one right on track) and a bubble she called the "threaten abortion". What dose this mean? She proscribed me Progesterone and I stated taking it yesterday but it is making me feel sick and jittery. So I'm stoping it. I'm scared and I don't know what to do or how to feel. I will be back In the states next week. Has anyone had a something like this happen to them?

    I would call the number of your OB in the US and speak to the on call doctor. If you just found out you were pregnant last week, I'm guessing you are less than like 6 weeks pregnant, right? I think Rhogam shots that early are really just a precaution - I am also RH- and have read that they're not really necessary before 12 weeks. I'm sorry you're going through this but I would consult your doctor.

    I don't have much advice, but I can only imagine how scared you must be in a foreign country. Call your doctor back home right away. Best of luck to you and keep us posted!

    Call your OB and if you need progesterone supplants don't stop taking them because they make you feel sick.

    I was I progesterone for both of my pregnancies and I understand that it makes you feel terrible. But if it's medically necessary, you take it anyway.
