Possible miscarriage from a semi hard yoga landing ?

tybyrnes · July 2014

Hi! I'm a first time mom to be. Had a m/c last time. I'm at 5 weeks tomorrow, hopefully!
I was doing yoga this morning and landed a little hard on my stomach and now I'm freaking out!

I'm having the normal cramping that I've been having but it looks like I had some spotting on my underwear the size of a dime and vet light pink spotting when I wipe (every other time). I know I need to call dr but it's Saturday.

Can a small hit on the stomach from doing a yoga pose cause a miscarriage?

Thank you!

I'm sorry you're scared! Right now baby is pretty well protected in there, however with the spotting definitely keep an eye on it. It can be normal but if it worsens, turns bright red, or becomes a heavier flow definitely call your doctor. FX it's nothing and the spotting goes away.

It would be pretty well impossible to cause a miscarriage with yoga. I know it is scary to have cramping or spotting at any time, but there's very little you could do to cause that at this point.

I was in the plank position and went down to the upward dog. The chataronga (sp?) position is when it happened so I was close to ground. I started doing yoga bc it's safe and then this happened

Thank you and I am hoping it's nothing.

When I fell down a flight of stairs with my first about 6 weeks my dr. Told me the little bugger was well protected.

Like others have said, falls at this point won't do much harm. If something is wrong know it's nothing you did! Hopefully it's all just normal stuff.

I'm sorry you are spotting and that you're worried, but it probably has nothing to do with yoga. FX everything turns out OK.

I'm actually spotting pretty heavily now. It's red and looks like there's clumps... I'm going to take another test but I'm thinking this isn't good news

BostonAlison · July 2014

Oh no

I'm sorry. Please don't feel that you did anything wrong though. As everyone else said, I doubt it's related.

I am so sorry you're going through this.

lhill88 · July 2014

I'm so sorry for the stress you're going through right now. Keeping you in thoughts and prayers

I'm bleeding like the start of a menstrual cycle. So, not a pad in an hour but it's on my underwear and the toilet paper is soaked the last 3 wipes which was about 2 hours. And my cramping seems to be getting worse. I don't think I need an ER, I'll just wait until Monday.

chaysefaith · July 2014

I'm very sorry you are going through this. I just want to reiterate what others have said, this is not something YOU caused. Fingers crossed for you that this is nothing.

Hang in there! I'm in the same boat as you and just waiting for Monday to hopefully bring some clarity. I hope all goes well for you!

I am so sorry you are going through this. I don't think it is related to the yoga. I played volleyball and took a big dive last week without thinking. I landed very hard on my stomach.

I am sending you lots of thoughts and prayers right now!

I'm so sorry you're going through this

I agree with everyone else, you did not cause this by doing yoga.

chaysefaith · July 2014

How are you doing today, OP?

fi46re129 · July 2014

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Yoga definitely didn't do anything. Hugs and fx for good news on Monday

tybyrnes · July 2014

I passed ALOT of tissue yesterday. Back pain along with my cramps. Took an HPT and it was negative...

Hopefully I can learn something useful tomorrow so that this will not happen again...

Even at only 5 weeks this is extremely heartbreaking!

@Ndepin I hope you have better news!

Thank you all for the kind words and about yoga!

merc5411 · July 2014

I'm so so sorry for your loss. I hope you can get some answers from your OB, but remember that you did not cause this. Huge creepy internet hugs!

chaysefaith · July 2014

I'm so very sorry for your loss

please take good care of yourself. If you want to stick around TB there is a miscarriage/loss board as well as Trying to Conceive After a Loss (TTCAL).

lhill88 · July 2014

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know you're heartbroken. I second the creepy internet hugs!

ngolimento · July 2014

I'm so sorry hon. ((Hugs)) this was definitely not your fault for doing yoga.

I ditto talking to the TTCAL ladies. They are wonderful and supportive. I just came from that board, and I reall will miss them.

tybyrnes · July 2014

Thank you! I'll head on over there!! This has been an amazing forum & group. I'm going to be sad to leave the March 2015

urani · July 2014

I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending hugs your way.

PuppyLove84 · July 2014

Oh no, I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs.

shlittertoots · July 2014

I'm so sorry for your loss--don't blame yourself and take care.

JennyP0222 · July 2014

Everyone has said it all, but I just want to say again, please don't blame yourself for this. It's a heartbreak and we naturally look for the reason but this was probably in the works before you had that fall. Take care of yourself, I'm so sorry.

I'm so so sorry for your loss. I agree with the other ladies, could not be the yoga. Xxx

BitsyBelle84 · July 2014

I'm so very sorry for your loss. T&P for you.

spaceykatie · July 2014

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sraep3 · July 2014

I'm so sorry to hear this. U have just today started to bleed very heavily out of nowhere. My husband and I have been trying for over a year and are now around 8 weeks. So the thought of miscarriage is heartbreaking. I too took a hpt and just got a negative. I will pray that everything turns out for the best with you!
