I went to the hospital on 7/06/2012 With bit of bleeding after sex (sorry tmi) They took bloods and said everything fine and sent me for an ultrasound. I was meant to be 7 weeks and 2 days but was measuring 6 weeks and 1 day. She said the heartbeat was slow and said it could be 2 options 1) The dates were just calculated wrong or 2) The heartbeat will keep slowing until it stops. And told me to come back thursday 14/06/2012 for another ultrasound The bleeding stopped that day. Its now 12/06/2012 and since yesterday morning ive started bleeding. Its not like a heavy period but its not like spotting its kind of like a light Pink/red period with discharge. I got a bit of pain the night before it happened but nothing too bad but i dont feel any pain at all today but still bleeding? Im terrified at what it could be would do you think?

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.

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.

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!

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.

Im starting to get a few shooting pains now which is to be expected. I battleing myself in my mind about the miscarriage ive been booked in for a D&C on monday but i keep changing my mind about wanting to go natural. I am ment to be putting on a show on 22 and im scared of just delivering the baby there and then on stage so thats making me go towards surgical (plus risk of infection if dont) but on the other side something keeps telling me not to go surgical and i would like to bury my baby and not just have it thrown away. I so tired with all the thinking. How long does a miscarriage take? what are the stages? whats best surgical or natural? so many questions
