Scared..........

[Spinneygirl]

that its happening again!

I went to the loo last night and noticed a brown stain the size of 50p in my knickers. I also had abit of spotting when i wiped but that seems to have gone this morning? I had a few mild cramps too.

I dont know what to do as im only 5 weeks. I was nearly 8 when it happened before and i dont know it the hospital will do anything.

Has this happened to anyone before?
What do you think i should do?

Thanx
Nikki

Hey hun I had quite a bit of brown discharge around 5 weeks and cramps up until about last week - there have been several posts about it over the last few weeks and if your not bleeding now I would think it was absolutly normal! Keep an eye on it today, from what I can tell unless it's bright red blood and painful cramps then you don't need to be worried. Try and relax, I no it's easier said than done Xx

 

[Spinneygirl]

Thans hun, i hope its not happening again. Its such a scary time not know what is goin on x

 

[NatC]

I no hun, I worry about every little thing I do and don't feel! But as much as possible we've just got to stay strong and positive, and wish tri1 to hurry itself up! Xx

A bit of brown spotting is normal babe! I know how worrying it is especially if you have had a previous loss! If u r worried make an appt with ur gp on monday all they will do is bloods to check hormones r going up at 5 weeks. But it will put ur mind at rest hopefully x x x

I had a lot of brown spotting between 5 and 9 weeks i think x It eventually went away x Midwife told me it can just be cervix closing, or old blood being expelled to make way for bean xx

 

[Samsgirl]

as flugel says...its probably just last bit of implantation and also cervix closing and probably expelling old blood...nothing to worry about. mild cramping at 5 weeks sounds pretty normal too....xx keep smiling....it's going to be okay xx

 

[Spinneygirl]

I wonder if they could put you on progesterone or something, help the lining hold and hopefully the pregnancy assuming the bleeding is hormone related?

I really hope it's not what you think Nikki xx

 

[Lilelephant]

Spinney! I really hope it's nothing, I have everything crossed. As for what louiseb said I get progesterone now to help maintain the pregnancy, not sure if it will work yet but fx!

Sounds positive that it's just brown blood honey, when I ha my m/c it was red straight away. I know what you mean about the hospital, I went in to A&E when I was m/c and they said if it's going to happen there is nothing they can do. I had been to my GP a couple of days before with the pain suspecting the worst and she said the same, not really what you want to hear. I honestly thought they would be able to do something, I was 6+3 weeks and was just made to feel like it didn't really matter I found the hospital a waste of time except for the reassurance it could provide you that all is well. At 5 weeks most hospitals won't even do a scan, mine did one the following day after I was admitted but I knew I had miscarried by then. They only did it before 7 weeks as they suspected an ectopic. If there are signs of an ectopic I would definitely take yourself to A&E.

The only other thing they do is take a blood test for your hcg levels but they don't really tell them much until they can do another a couple of days later. I really think the NHS sucks when it comes to this sort of thing!! If you have a good, understanding GP who is knowledgable in the area then I think they can be more helpful. Good luck sweetie xxxx
