Kayleigh, what you said at the bottom of your last post about another star in the sky, another angel to watch over me was very beautiful...reminded me of something I had completely forgotten about. We had found out the fetus stopped growing at approx 6 weeks and I was supposed to be almost 9 weeks. The ultrasound tech left with a strange look on her face and said she needed to have someone else take a look at it. I immediately knew something was wrong and we were called back to the dr's office. He told us there was no heartbeat any longer and encouraged me to have a D&C because since I was bleeding so little, he said It could take as long as 2-3 weeks for my body to expel it naturally. I opted for the D&C, they scheduled it for the next morning and I cried myself to sleep. In the morning on the way to the hospital, the song by Sarah MacLachlan came on the radio In the Arms of The Angels. We listened to every word and the song ended as soon as we pulled into the parking lot. I truly believe The Universe/God/the angels were sending us a message of comfort on a most difficult day! Yours too, is also In The Arms of An Angel! Take care!! Debi

Kayleigh,

I don't know you - but I so feel for you. My first was a miscarriage - I got pregnant again 3 months later and had a beautiful baby boy, then had another miscarriage, and then another beautiful boy. The first miscarriage was the most horrible thing I had ever lived through, but in retrospect, with 4 healthy kids, if the baby miscarried, there was probably something terribly wrong with the baby, and I thank G-d every day that my next one was healthy.. Of course I can say this nearly 10 years later looking back, and still remember the terrible loss at the time, but you will have another, and G-d willing, the next will be healthy and beautiful.

I'm so sorry for your loss Kayleigh. I was truly hoping for the best for you.

Debi - posted on 06/14/2012

So very very sorry, Kayleigh! Take the time to mourn the loss, but remember, most miscarriages happen because it's not a viable fetus. It's nature's way.. Although I'm sure that's little comfort now because it just happened. I was very depressed when I had my miscarriage; mostly because it had taken two YEARS of trying to get pregnant that time. I went on to have 3 more healthy babies and I have no doubt you will get pregnant again when you and your partner are ready! Healing and loving blessings to you and your partner!

Pray for the best, expect the worst. I bleed a very small amount and miscarried. My mother, while pregnant with me had a doctor say he couldnt find a heart beat at all and yet i am here. It could go either way. I'll keep you in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of yur loss Kaleigh. I've been through it and it's heartbreaking but I did go on to have a gorgeous boy (who's nearly 6) so it can be done.
Take time to mourn your loss but try not to give up.
Lots of love to you and your partner x

Thank you all for your lovely support. I have just got back from the hospital. Unfortunately the babys heartbeat has stopped and i am miscarrying. She said i was measuring 6 weeks and i am meant to be 8 weeks 1 day so it stopped growing for a while. She said she can see the blood coming out the womb. Me and my partner are devastated and if it hasnt come out naturally but next week. I have to go into surgery an have my little angel removed that way and have an Anti-D injection. I just thought i would let you all know. Thank you all so very much.

Another Star in the sky, A Little Angel to watch over me ♥ Goodnight My Angel ♥

Oh my goodness, reading all these reminds me of all the things we go through as women! Physically and emotionally! Kayleigh, I bled during my 2nd pregnancy and did end up miscarrying....BUT my bleeding was the opposite of yours. In fact, the dr said as long as it was the light brownish stuff, not to worry. Years later, when I had my fourth pregnancy (7 months after giving birth to twins!), I had light bleeding again for 3-4 days and it scared me to death! Everything turned out fine; my dr said it could have been implantation bleeding or the fact that, like many have said here, some women just bleed sometimes during pregnancy. Best wishes to you and please let us know how it goes!

When I was pregnant with my second child I would get some bleeding but only if u enjoyed it. I had also had 2 lletz procedures before this child. I was worried at first but the doctor said it be from my cervix contract from orgasm. My children always measured smaller than my due date then caught up at the end both weighing in at 8p 1 oz

7/6/12 is the seventh day of the sixth month (June) 2012, so not sure what you mean about skipping the rest of June, Nana Nellie? That was a week ago and the day of her doctor's appt is the 14th, which is today...

Amanda - posted on 06/13/2012

Some women "spot" or bleed lightly into a normal pregnancy. If it's not heavy and you're not cramping it could be totally fine. They should have had you come in two days later instead if ta week to check your HcG levels, but as long as your number has gone way up when you go in next, you're still pregnant. They'll need to draw your blood again for that number.

I had bleeding too while I was pregnant with my first son who is now 2. The drs didn't think I could conceive so when I went in to the drs for severe abdominal pain I was very surprised to find I was 6 wks pregnant. My pregnancy levels were really high, the dr said they only saw one baby but it was too early to tell but may be twins. Since they didn't think I could conceive they weren't sure that I would have a healthy pregnancy and they were afraid I was going to miscarry. I bled for the first 3 months. Never once did it harm my baby. The baby was forming on the left side of my uterus and the bleeding was coming from the right side. I have a bicornate uterus... It's kinda heart shaped... So 1 side of my body was recognizing me being pregnant while the other side wasnt acknowledging me being prego. I was so scared that nobody could guarantee that I wasn't going to miscarry. I was told, it may happen, nothin we can do. At every visit the baby was doing fine tho. I finally stopped bleeding around the 3rd month...but they believed I would go into labor before 28wks. When I made it to 28wks they thought he'd come at 32wks. Well, I didn't go into labor until 36wks and he was born via emergency csection due to an infection. He is now 2 yrs old and doing great! I have a 7mo old too, had no bleeding during that pregnancy. The bleeding could be from stress or a uti. I really hope that your pregnancy ends in a happy ending also! Good luck and u r n my prayers. Try your best to relax.

The same thing happened to me twice. Once when I was pregnant with my son & then with my daughter. It was called a Placenta Previa. Basically, the placenta is tearing away from the uterine wall. If it completely detaches itself, you will lose the baby. Because I was so early like yourself, they sent me home stating they couldn't do anything for me because I was in my first trimester (which is the most critical). The doctor put me on bed rest for a week. Eventually things healed and the babies were fine.



Take it easy & no more sex till you're positive the coast is clear. Stop stressing because that can give you a miscarriage too. Put your feet up & get some rest. You don't want to push your body too hard.



Many blessings to you & yours.

You should go back to the doctor. Bleeding needs to be discussed.Good luck.

Kimm - posted on 06/13/2012

your blood vessels enlarge and are very close to the surface when you are pregant do sex a little more gentle same thing happened to me like you I was so scared but everything did turn out just fine. Don't be moving around a lot just kick back and elavate your feet.

Angela - posted on 06/13/2012

This also happened to me during my pregnancy and was told i had a friable cervix. At the end i still had a beautiful healthy baby. Happy thoughts all will be ok.

I have had 5 miscarriages and with all of mine I started bleeding and it got worse and with a lot of pain. Prayers!

I had a lot of bleeding with my son during the first trimester. I was told that sometimes the body gets rid of the excess lining,

Heather - posted on 06/13/2012

Call your Dr and tell him/her what is going on. Anything that is bothersome to.you, they should take the time to check. I spotted when I lost my twins and when I called the Dr on call I was told to just stay laying down. I said then and there "what happens if I disregard what you say and go to the er anyway". I was told they would check.me then. Turns out I I was already 10cm dialared. I ended up losing my twins after a week in the hospital and I was 6 months pregnant. Go with your gut and do what you feel is best. Regret still haunts me!

Thank you all for your support you have all helped my worries ease alot so i am thankful. It could be that my dates are wrong as i could have ovulated late. Its only a few hours away now until i find out if my little bean's heart is beating stronger. Its so scary to be told their heartbeat is slower than they want it to be. I will inform you all the results of my ultrasound in the morning. Thank you so much for all your support. God bless you all xxxx

Heather - posted on 06/13/2012

I spot bled with both of my pregnancies for a couple days and was petrified that I was miscarrying. EVERYTHING WAS FINE. With that in mind, the best thing that you can do for yourself and your fetus is to try and relax and take it easy the next couple days. Go to work/school etc., just don't overdue it.
Now, when your pregnant the hormones within your body increase substantially and there are a lot of chemical changes taking place. This can lead to a lot of anxiety. The first several weeks of pregnancy are when a lot of body systems begin to develope for the fetus. After the sperm and the egg "unite" there are several very complex cell divisions which occur to create the various systems for the "fertilized egg" to become a vital fetus. One of the first systems to develop is the 'heart', but there is also lung tissue, skeletal structure, and all the neurological etc., systems that need to develop properly. Our bodies are incredible machines that are able to decipher the success of these millions of cell divisions that occur within a fertilized egg. Even though the heart began to beat that does not mean it was developed properly, nor that doesn't guarantee that lungs, brain development, liver, kidney, intestines, etc will take place. That is why there are so many miscarriages in the first trimester. If you can, utilize this time to connect with your 'higher power' and let your faith give you strength during the first 12-14 weeks of any pregnancy. If the egg doesn't mature during this time period into a "vital" fetus your body will discharge it. Many blessings be yours in the knowledge that everything happens for a reason and in the long term everything will be okay!

Seen as though you are early on it could be just your dates were wrong it's an easy mistake. Considering your bleeding is getting lighter I don't think it will be a miscarriage alot of women suffer from bleeding (alot more heavy than you have had) and although it can be serious it can sometimes be fine. Are you due your period around this time? It could of been that? Xx

Barbara - posted on 06/12/2012

I have nothing to add that others have not. Ii did have implantation bleeding with both of my children. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Kelina - posted on 06/12/2012

it could possibly be implantation bleeding. At around that time with my daughter I had some bleeding, I was terrified. I hope things go well for you.

Shawnn - posted on 06/12/2012

That, I'm not sure off. All of my miscarriages were so early on that in a couple I didn't even realize I was pregnant...But i'm with you on that, I'm hoping that with it lightening up, maybe things are ok...

More hugs, and prayers for you, my dear

Kayleigh - posted on 06/12/2012

Also forgot to mention that i had a Loop Excision on my cervix last year could that have anything to do with it? The bleeding is getting lighter and more light browny/pink is that a good sign? If i was miscarrying it would be getting heavier not lighter right? Im praying so..

Shawnn - posted on 06/12/2012

Oh, honey...Hope you don't mind, you're in my prayers.

Hang in there, and hang on to your partner. I hope all works well. At least they did find the baby, and still have a heartbeat... > and lots of love to you guys!

Kayleigh - posted on 06/12/2012

yes they did a vaginal ultrasound and found the baby but his/her heartbeat was slow. Thats why i am going back thursday. yes my partner is as afraid as i am although he trys not to show it to not worry me. x

Shawnn - posted on 06/12/2012

Kayleigh, I hope everything is ok. You're in my thoughts

Kelly - posted on 06/12/2012

That happened to me when I was pregnant with my daughter. I went straight to the hospital and they took me right in. They did some tests and they said that it was an irritated cervix. I did have light bleeding for a few days after that as well. The doctor said it is quite normal to have some light bleeding after sex when you're pregnant.

Colleen - posted on 06/12/2012

First I am so sorry if it is the case that you are miscarrying. I would go back to the Dr. being that the bleeding you are having now is different than from the beginning. And maybe for a ray of hope I lost my son between my oldest and 2nd daughter...but with my 2nd and 3rd daughter I had light bleeding in the beginning (scared me to death) but I went and got checked a few times and they told me I had what is called implantation bleeding... its where the placenta is burying itself into the uterine wall. If there is anything I can do or you just need to talk I will be here. Also I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Jen - posted on 06/12/2012

When I was pregnant, I woke up thinking I had wet the bed Turns out it was blood gushing from my uterous. I called the doctors' office. They did a trans-vag ultrasound (wth my heart in my throat the entire time) and she was able to find im.

Are they able to do a trans-vag and find him?her?

And I am so sorry. I remember that fear so very welll. My husband at the time couldnt' be bothered to go with me do the doctor so i had to face it alone. tAke someone with you no matter what.

Post coital bleeding is what it sounds like to me. That happened to me and I freaked out.

Kayleigh - posted on 06/12/2012

thank you i phoned the hospital this morning and they just said only come in if its heavy if not i'll be fine. :s

Louise - posted on 06/12/2012

Any bleeding needs to be looked at and is considered serious. Go back to the hospital and get another scan it is the only way to know what is going on. Some women naturally bleed through out pregnancy, dont be to worried yet this will only cause you to have raised blood pressure which is not good for the baby.

Go back and get them to tell you what is going on. Then you can decide what is best for you to do. Good luck.
