I'm approximately 5 weeks pregnant not for sure yet since I haven't seen my OBGYN yet. But I went to the hospital last night to get checked out for what I thought was spotting and the doctor said it was too early to tell if everything was ok or not. They did a PAP and a vaginal ultrasound and said there was a sac, but didn't know much more than that. But today I've been seeing tiny flakes of what looks like tissue when I wipe and some floating in the toilet. No pain, just very minor cramping, but not all the time just randomly. I'm terrified. Someone please tell me this could be normal??

I'm afraid I can't tell you a lot, but is there a possibility it could be discharge mixed with a small amount of blood? Sorry if TMI, but in early pregnancy I had a lot of discharge. Does it look like a mild period? Some people do spot in early pregnancy and this is often a sign you will continue to spot throughout the pregnancy. Mild spotting is normal but should be closely monitored and reported to your doctor (as you have done). Because you are so early on your body might still be receptive to the hormones that would normally cause your period. This doesn't necessarily mean you will lose the pregnancy. If you start cramping badly or start passing clots you must contact your doctor. Good luck and try and get as much rest as you can until you can find out what's going on. -
That's because when you miscarry you are guaranteed to bleed, but bleeding doesn't guarantee miscarriage. And women who have reported a miscarriage online would certainly have bled at some point. I would try and avoid doctor Google as much as possible, he doesn't often have a lot of good stuff to say! If you can get another scan in a week or so you would be able to see an embryo within the sac and hopefully a heartbeat. I didn't see my baby's heartbeat until 7 weeks. The fact that you've got no pain and it's not getting any worse is an excellent sign. Keep monitoring it. Fingers crossed for you x

Oh i hate to break this to you but that's not true.
Missed miscarriages happen a fair amount too. You've no idea something has happened until the doctor confirms it. Sometimes the body expels a missed MC eventually but often the body reabsorbs it.
Not to make people worry - it's unlikely compared to a "normal" miscarriage. But it does happen.
Nothing came of it. Kid's still kicking (literally)
