@knottie - that definitely sounds like it could be RLP
Current pregnancy - First BFP on 1/4/22. Due date 9/13/22.
Four prior losses, no living children - 1 first trimester miscarriage, 1 blighted ovum, 1 chemical, and one extreme premature live birth daughter who died at 15 days old.
I sadly miscarried. Night b4 last went to e.r cause i passed a clot. Of cause of me measuring small for my first ultrasound and cause of low hcg i was already stressing the potiential miscarriage so i went to e.r cause of one clot and they told me they couldnt diagnose me with misscarage that my obgyn would have to. But an ultrasound showed 6 weeks and i was suppose to be 10weeks2days. And since then i began to bleed heavy every trip to bathroom and passed many good size clots i had terrible pain in my pelvis that made me feel like passing out. No stomach cramps just back and pelvic pain. i really hope this isnt against the rules. I posted a few times and wanted to ley the ladies know my pregnancy stopped progessing at about 6 weeks and my body didnt start getting rid of it til last night at over 10 weeks pregnant (( i dont think its complete but i do think the worst of it is over. Ultrasound monday. Pray for me. Im scared of the procedure and hope i dont need it.
@mommyanddaddyalbarado sending you big, big hugs. I’m so sorry! Take care of yourself to grieve and mourn in whatever way feels most authentic to you. I’ve had a D&C and the procedure itself wasn’t bad, but the emotions around it were very very hard. They may be able to try to give you medicine to finish passing first. Continue to follow up with your OB, and know we will all be thinking of you and sending you love! ❤️
I’ve had low level nausea for weeks. I spend half of the day in bed, and have been working on my laptop in bed for work instead of going into the office. It’s getting kind of depressing. Any advice?
Is anyone still BFing another child right now? I still am, but curious if others are/have continued to do so when pregnant in the past.
I’m still breastfeeding my 16 month old. Only first thing in the morning and before bed (sometimes at nap time if I’m home to put him down. I plan to try to wean him soon so I don’t have to wean him right when the next babe comes. I want to talk to his doctor about giving him cows milk or something to make up for the calcium or whatever he’ll be missing. He does eat a lot of food so I’m sure it’s fine to stop, I just want to be sure. Also I’m good at giving in to him so it will be hard to stop. I have a friend who had 2 kids 18th months apart and just let them both breastfeed, she was fine with that. I don’t think I would like that so I would like to stop sooner than later
@mommyanddaddyalbarado I’m so sorry for your loss. You’re not alone and remember that there was nothing you could have done or done differently. Sending you hugs and healing to both of you. Take really good care of yourself.
@mommyanddaddyalbarado I’m so sorry for your loss. I wish there was something I could do or say that would reduce the pain. Sending love to you & your family ❤️
@mommyanddaddyalbarado I am heartbroken for you. I had a missed miscarriage in september & ended up needing a D&C also. so agree that the procedure isn’t bad, it’s just extremely emotionally painful to go through. hopefully you were able to pass it on your own, though it’s no less emotionally painful 💔 let yourself grieve fully, because you had a little human in there & losing them is excruciating & deserves to be felt ❤️ I’ll be praying for you all to find healing 🌈
Hot coffee is the only thing that makes me queasy and feel sick - so I temporarily gave it up. That's been hard for me. It was the one thing that I hoped I could still tolerate. Just my first-world problem. I hope the worst of your nausea passes very soon. It's a miserable feeling. Wishing you a very healthy and happy pregnancy.
I am crying from the replies. I have been in so much pain. The worst pain of my life. The pelvis pain makes me feel like passing out its so bad!!!! I been feeling hearr broken so bad! Ladies I dont believe the love and care yall making me feel. My partner up and left me the day after we found out I was miscarrying. So i been in pain, scared, and heart broken BY MYSELF. The father abandoned me. I dont want to lose this supportive group just yet. My last ultrasound is today. I hope they say my body did what it needed to do. As for the pain and bleeding. I hope it ends soon. Im breaking. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 thank yall ladies. I wish i could have a hug from you all. No one deseres this 😭😭😭😭😭
@mommyanddaddyalbarado I am so sorry to hear everything you’re going through. Sending you the warmest hugs and love and support in this impossible time. Hang in there
We had our first appointment today and they were not able to find the hb on the doppler (both kinds). I am 11w3d. I am not sure how to process what is happening. I have an US for tomorrow and am praying everything will be ok. Has anyone had experience with this?
@ponyoisfun we could never find my first with the Doppler until I think 14 weeks. 11 weeks is still little bitty! Thinking if you and hoping for the best tomorrow
so sorry to hear about all you are going through. Do you have anyone else to support you? Parent? Sibling? Friend? Who could go to the US with you? Or DNC if needed? I had one after my missed miscarriage- physically it took me a week to bounce back - but emotionally it took time and was hard- is still hard some days.
Candidly don’t be afraid to reach out to your doctor for meds and help with finding a support group or therapist - you are going through trauma, it will take time to heal and sometimes additional counseling or meds.
So sorry- I know the pain and I’m so sorry you are experiencing it.
@ponyoisfun I'm so sorry you're dealing with this stress! They weren't able to do an ultrasound right then and there? I'm shocked they would make you wait an entire day. 11 weeks is still very early to find a HB on a doppler! Thinking of you ❤
@ponyoisfun oh my goodness, I’m so sorry you are going through this stress. My daughter was a “hider” and it wasn’t until 14 weeks that she could be found on the Doppler. Sending you good thoughts and big hugs.
I am 10w3d today. Has anyone else suddenly have no breast soreness or tenderness? I am sure it has been asked on here before I’m just to lazy to dig through the 6 pages to look.
My breast soreness has definitely lessened! I saw my doctor on Monday and she said that’s totally normal as you are approaching end of first trimester (I am 10 weeks 3 days)
Thank you everyone for your thoughts! I really do appreciate them. We haven't shared with family because we were worried about something like this. We went in today and everything was as it should be (so I started to cry of course). We got a lot of pics and got the screening out of the way. The little baby is just super active like dd (!!) and so it must have been hiding. The techs were so nice there too, which made me feel so much better.
I don't think the midwife had been trying to scare me, but I am older and have had losses before and I think she just wanted to be honest that it was a real risk in my case.
@ponyoisfun so glad to hear! I actually had the same thing happen to me today. Couldn't hear baby on the doppler so they brought me over to the ultrasound and it was just in there wiggling away.

I have huge gaps between my boys… my first was 11yrs old when our second was born… now my second will be 6 in May and I’m due in November making my oldest just 1 month shy of 18 when this new little one arrives. I think my oldest was slightly let down when his little brother couldn’t play with him right away. Not exactly sure what was going through his mind when he knew we were having a baby, but nonetheless he has been an awesome 2nd set of hands. For me it was easier bc my oldest was self sufficient and could take instruction so he became a huge help. Of course I always made some one on one time for him so he knew he was appreciated and always loved and he knows he has a special place in my heart. Now his little brother will be 6 in May and is soo excited that he finally gets to be the “big” brother, telling me he can’t wait to meet the new little one. Not sure if we are having a boy or girl yet but each one of my sons wants something different lol. We’ll see…
So I’ve been feeling nausea-free for the last 4-5 days and thought “Great! Maybe I can wean off my unisom and B6!” BIG MISTAKE!
Today was horrible with nausea, and I just threw up, but had IMMENSE localized uterine pain while retching, like it felt like I tore open my uterus. Has anyone ever had this severe pain? It was low and localized so it was scary… debating talking to my dr.

Same here - and I am also 10w3d. That's why I like these discussion boards. How has your nausea and food aversions been so far? I have felt great, but coffee makes me queasy. That's the only thing and it KILLS me! I miss it very much.

So cool we are the same due date! Overall my nausea hasn’t been bad either. One time I was cooking with kimchi and a lot of spices and that made me feel sick. I don’t drink coffee so luckily don’t have that problem! Overall I have been craving cheese and sweets.
@erey339 coffee is not great for me either. Both this pregnancy and the last one of the first main symptoms besides being an emotional wreck was getting extra jittery from coffee/feeling a little weird heartburny like I woke up too early and didn’t eat breakfast. I can handle decaf though and I really like coffee with cream and sugar so it’s nice to be able to have something. Chai or a rich cinnamon tea is good too-almost satisfies that craving (I get blue lotus powdered chai usually the caffeine free rooibos kind)
This is my first pregnancy so I feel like everything freaks me out. I’m 11w2d, I had a little bit of pink spotting this morning when I wiped, haven’t had anything since, anyone else have this happen?
My next blood test / ultrasound aren’t for another 1-2 weeks and I’m dying to get them done already!
@erey339 and any others struggling with the queasy feeling and coffee/decaf, etc... This morning I enjoyed a hot peppermint herbal tea (Bigelow). It hits the spot and it takes good. I put a little honey in it. Not a huge Chai fan but I will definitely try the cinnamon tea. Thank you so much for that recommendation. When I start working I just need that hot drink to sip... These are total first-world problems and sometimes I need a safe place to just complain a bit. Thanks for humoring me.
I will be 12 weeks tomorrow and as far as I know everything is going well. I had an ultrasound at 8 weeks 3 days and saw baby’s heart beat but I haven’t had any tests since. I have no reason to think anything is wrong but you always see/hear about missed miscarriages and I can’t help but worry about that. How do you all stay positive when there are so many unknowns??
