I'm not bleeding but could I still be miscarrying?

Question

Back in April of 2006 I found out I was pregnant that night I started cramping like never before and I already havbe one child so I didn't feel normal. So, I went to the hopsital and they said they couldn't see the baby's heartbeat and my hormones weren't normal. So, I went back a week later and they said her/his heartbeat was really low and my hormones still weren't where they should be and they said it was a threaten miscarriage. So, I ended back up at the hospital where two different doctors told me the baby wouldn't make it. So, anyways, here I am possible pregnant and the same damn thing is happen except the cramps are every worst and my lower body feels week. I can just barely walk and I don't know what to do. Any advice?

I know I should go to the hospital because I feel the pain down there but I don't have a car Is there anything I can do until I can get to hospital or do you think in ur opinion I'm overreacting? I'm not even bleeding. I need support/advice :-(

Believe it or not Doctors talked me into end the pregnancy back in April so I'm maybe 4 weeks pregnancy now if not less, this is my 3rd pregnancy. :-( Please don't judge me.

Miscarriage explained


Spontaneous miscarriage is defined as the loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks gestation. Most spontaneous miscarriages (75 to 80 per cent) occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. It is estimated that one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage. Many miscarriages are unreported or go unrecognised because they occur very early in the pregnancy.

What causes a miscarriage?
A miscarriage usually occurs because the pregnancy is not developing properly. The development of a baby from a female and a male cell is a very complicated process. If something goes wrong with the process, the pregnancy will stop developing. Another cause of miscarriage may be that the developing pregnancy did not embed itself properly into the lining of the uterus (womb). The natural reaction of the uterus is to expel the non-viable pregnancy.

Types of miscarriage
Vaginal bleeding is the most common sign that all is not well with the pregnancy. Approximately 30 to 50 per cent of women with significant bleeding will progress to a miscarriage. The types of miscarriage that can occur include:
Missed abortion - occurs when the pregnancy has failed, although there has not been any bleeding or other signs. Occasionally, the aborted pregnancy may remain in the uterus for weeks or even months until bleeding commences. Missed abortion is suspected when pregnancy symptoms disappear and the uterus stops growing. It is diagnosed by an ultrasound examination.
Blighted ovum - this occurs when a pregnancy sac is formed but there is no developing baby within the sac. This is diagnosed by ultrasound, usually after some bleeding.
Ectopic pregnancy - this occurs when the developing pregnancy implants in the fallopian tubes rather than in the uterus.

You may need a curette (D&C) after your miscarriage
Often, some of the pregnancy tissue remains in the uterus after a miscarriage. If it is not removed by scraping the uterus with a curette (a spoon shaped instrument), you may bleed for a long time or develop an infection. Unless all the pregnancy tissue has been passed, your doctor will usually recommend that a curette be performed. This is done under a light general anaesthetic and you can usually go home later the same day. A sample is usually sent for pathology tests.

What happens after the curette?
Most women bleed for five to 10 days following a curette. Contact your doctor if you experience:
Prolonged or heavy bleeding
Blood clots or strong abdominal pain
Changes in your vaginal discharge
Fever or flu-like symptoms.

Darlin,
You need to seek profession assistance. If you don't have a car then call a friend, a cab, an anbulance or if nothing else call the hospital and see what they suggest. If this is the same pregnancy you found out about in April then this would be around your ninth month, you may be in labor! Good luck honey!

Answer 3

If you can't get to the hospital call the ER and speak with a nurse. Don't hesitate. Call someone for a ride or something. Reassure yourself and make sure everything is good. How far along are you and how far did you get with your last miscarry? I would be upset also because its scarey and it seems like no one really understands. I would also try tylenol and try to lay down and rest until you can get to the hospital.

Answer 4

Wow, i'm so sorry hun. I don't know what to say. Try going to the doctors when you feel up to it, and I want to wish you the best of luck.

Happy Holidays and God bless

(If it gets to the point when it's terrible, call 911. The ambulance will pick up up, and that way everything will be taken care of.)

Good luck

XXXXOOOOXXXX

Yes, you should go to the hospital to have your doctor check you out. They may be able to prevent the possibility of miscarriage this time. Please take care of yourself. Its important at this time. Your health and they health of your baby come first. Call an ambulance if you have to.
