1st Trimester

Help! Threatened miscarriage? Unplanned pregnancy, so confused.

Hi all

I am 5w3d with an unplanned and possibly unwanted pregnancy - bad timing and lots of stress with the kids we already have. 

I found out I was pregnant 12 days ago. We have discussed our options, including a possible referral for a termination with my GP. We are leaning toward termination.

I have had terrible constipation the last 3-4 days, along with wind, bloating, and cramps. 
This got particularly bad this morning where I spent 1.5h on the loo in pain trying my hardest, with dizziness and nausea.

Two hours ago I started spotting - first a bright red amount, then a couple of brown marks on the loo paper. This has now stopped. The cramping and pain is still intermittent and now I don't know if it's related to a threatened miscarriage or the digestive issues.

Other relevant info:
-all my pregnancy tests were quite light, even at 16dpo.

I'm wreck - I didn't want this pregnancy in the first place but wasn't sure what to do. Now I may or may not be losing it and I can't stop crying. I am exhausted, confused and stressed out. 

I'm going to keep an eye on the spotting and book in with the dr tomorrow but in the interim - please help.

  • @mckay3nz Any update? I want you to know you're supported! My husband and I are also dealing with an unplanned (and unwanted on my part) pregnancy, and I understand the confusion surrounding it all. An unexpected pregnancy, even one coming from a great relstionship with your SO, is super stressful. I did nothing for 2 weeks but cry. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
