Answer 1

Once a miscarriage has started,there's no way to stop it.You need to get to a doctor right away since you had a previous miscarriage!!GO NOW!!!

Answer 2

Don't bother going to the hospital because they won't do anything to help stop a miscarriage, and it would just add more stress. If you start worrying for your health, of course, do go in immediately. But, in the first trimester, they do not try to help the baby.

What you need to do is:
1. Try to relax (yeah, I know, it is hard)
2. Drink a lot of water - being well hydrated can calm the uterus and reduce contractions/cramping
3. Take a magnesium supplement - preferably magnesium glycinate or citrate. It helps calm contractions as well. Take about 250 mg. twice a day, and if it gives you loose stools, take less. If it doesn't, it is okay to take a little more.
4. Vitamin E supplementation, up to 400 iu or natural or 800 iu of another form, can help with placental attachment.
5. In the first trimester, taking a low dose aspirin can help with blood flow. Don't take any apririn in your 3rd trimester though because it could be bad for the baby at that point.
6. If you have a doctor who is willing to check your progesterone levels or to just start you on progesterone suppositories, they can help prevent early pregnancy losses. It is probably a bit late for that to help now, but keep it in mind for future pregnancies.

You clearly care about this baby. If those feelings feel distant, that is normal. You are going through a lot and have a bad experience in the past.

However this turns out, you are valuing the life inside of you, and your feelings, whatever they may be in the future, are legitimate. Try to remember that when people inevitably say stupid things.

Answer 3

Yes, please go to the ER. I'll really be hoping for you that it is just normal spotting, some women even get a period or two when they are pregnant. And yes, it's okay to not feel like you are carrying a child. I didn't at first when I was pregnant. I didn't even believe the pregnancy was real at first, even though I knew it was. I was several weeks along before I felt like I was carrying a baby and that everything was real, and then when I saw that first sonogram, it made such a big difference in how I was feeling. Good Luck to you, I really hope you aren't miscarrying.

Answer 4

At this point there is nothing the doctors can do if you are trying to miscarry. Brown blood is old, and of course pink is new. If you are sexually active, stop for now. Some bleeding can occur during early pregnancy and it is perfectly normal, such as implantation bleeding. Just try to take it easy for a few days; no sex, no heavy lifting, no strenuous workouts, etc. Like I said before, if you are miscarrying, there is nothing the doctors can do at this point except put you on bedrest and wait and see what happens. The medication used to stop preterm labor is not effective this early in pregnancy. Good luck, hope all goes well for you.

Answer 5

CALL YOUR DOCTOR! If you don't have a doctor go to the ER. It is very important to report any spotting to your physician. It is also normal to feel like you are not pregnant. Some women don't feel pregnant until they actually see the baby via ultra-sound, feel the baby kick or hear a heart beat. Also remember that this is your time to feel special. Try not to let anyone take that away from you. Too much stress can cause the baby to be colicky after birth and believe me, you don't want that. Good Luck!

Answer 6

i had this however there was only a few drops of blood then it stopped. My Dr thought i was having a miscarriage so you must take this VERY seriously. Go and get it checked out. As i said mine stopped pretty much straight away and only happened once - my ultrasounds showed everything was ok but soem arent so lucky - put your mind at rest and go the DR as soon as you can

Answer 7

you REALLY need to go to your doctor or hospital ASAP because you could be having a miscarriage and not know it. I didn't when I had mine in Jan and I was only 2-3 weeks. I done the same yet, you COULD just have a buise there as well and that will make you spot. But you REALLY NEED TO GO! BEST WISHES

Answer 8

Please go to a doctor soon. As soon as you know your baby is okay, you will feel much better. Adding too much stress on yourself and feeling scared a lot can harm your baby and sometimes cause miscarriage. It's hard to do but try to stay positive as much as you can for your baby's health. I have spotting for two months of pregnacy but I manage to stay calm because my doctor assures me my baby appears okay through the ultrasound. Good Luck!

Answer 9

Go ahead and go to the ER. They'll treat you like you're skittish until you tell them that you have had a miscarriage before. They may still treat you as though you're skittish, but they should take you at least a little more seriously. And freaking out about it can't be helping anything. :-(

Answer 10

Call the nurse. My wife had some spotting at about the same time...and it was really nothing. We now have a healthy and happy 1 y/o baby who is currently trashing our living room :-)
