Thinking myself into a hole

This is my second pregnancy and I'm 9 weeks and 4 days. With my first everything went so smooth. I had awful morning sickness but other than that I was great. With this one I'm spotting, not bad, and I know it can be normal but not what I'm used to. And I'm cramping and having a lot of back pain. Last night when I went to the bathroom I passed what looked like a little blob of tissue but there wasn't any blood. It still freaked me out a lot. I go for my first doctors appointment and US the day before Thanksgiving. I keep thinking to myself something isn't right and this pregnancy isn't going to end well. I'm trying to prepare myself for bad news. I'm so nervous. Any mommas that have experience good or bad to share? Anything right now would help besides me thinking by myself. TIA!

  • I would call your OB and tell them what's been going on.

    Did you call you doctor? With your symptoms, they would probably either work you in to the schedule or tell you to go to the ER to get checked out. Even though first trimester bleeding can be normal, they still say to call. You would feel better to settle your mind and see the baby. Good thoughts are coming your way. Sorry you are having to experience this stress!
  • I would call in as well and they might be able to squeeze you in before next week's appointment. Praying you find some peace of mind!

  • I would call your OB like pps said. I had some cramping over the weekend and a lot of anxiety from it and they had me come in just for peace of mind. I'm so glad I called. Fingers crossed that everything is fine for you also and that they help to ease your mind!
  • Yep I'm with PP, I'd definitely call the doctor if I were you. Especially with the cramping and back pain. Prayers that everything is fine and you get some peace of mind!

  • Call your doctor, OP. Best of luck.
  • I passed some weird tissue after I had DS and OB said it was normal to pass little pieces like that every now and again. However, I wasn't pregnant. I's definitely call even if just for peace of mind.

  • I agree to call just for peace of mind. I've been having really bad low back pain part of Saturday and all day today. If it isn't any better tomorrow I honestly might call and see if I need to give a urine sample to rule out a UTI. Please let us know how everything goes for you!

    Well I called yesterday and they don't want to see me unless I'm filling up pads. So now I guess I just wait and do my best not to stress.
  • Whhhhaaatttt? That is NOT the response I thought you would get! I'm angry on your behalf. I think some doctors offices have a tendency to not get too involved with a woman's pregnancy until the person moves to the second trimester. I guess some take the perspective that, if someone is having a miscarriage, there usually isn't anything that can be done to stop it. However I would have liked them to at least see you to stop any worries or help you stay calm.

    Depending where you are and your insurance/financial situation, if you really want to be seen you could go to the ED.

    Thinking of you!
  • OMG I totally agree.  That is insane they dont want to see you.  I would either go to the ER or call a different OB.  Good luck OP keeping you in my thoughts!!

  • If you are not happy with your practice, i definitely encourage you to look elsewhere. If you need peace of mind - ask for it. You're also far enough a long a Doppler should be able to pick up a heartbeat so you don't even need a scan - can your GP maybe do this for you?
