am i miscarrying?

Question

I am 5 weeks pregnant and yesterday i started bleeding. I have no cramps and when i attended hospital they told me that my cervix was closed and that at that time it was a threatened miscarriage. This was at 1pm yesterday and I am still bleeding now. It is like a usual period however usually on my first day I get terrible pain which often makes me vomit. I have no pain now. At the hospital they took a blood test to check my HCG levels. I am now due to go back in the morning for another check on my HCG. This is my first pregnancy and it is very much wanted. I am now getting myself into a terrible state and am convinced that I am miscarrying. Also when I got up yesterday morning my breasts were very sore and tender but today now I have no pain in them at all - could this mean I have miscarried. I am going out of my brain and am frightened that if I havnt miscarried already the state I am in will cause me to. I just have a terrible feeling that I have already miscarried. Please help

Answer 1

Try to relax, lay down or sit down in a chair with your feet on a stool and a cup of tea. There is nothing you can do in this situation but wait. I have known of several ladies who had bleeding during their pregnancies and managed to carry the baby until successful delivery but there is no guarantee. I am hoping for the best for you! Good luck.

Hey, I miscarried at 11 weeks. I had the bleeding like a period, followed within 12 hours with severe pain, and then passed the baby about 5 hours after that. It is a good sign that you havent had the cramps. you need to relax and lie down and rest. I know how stupid it is to tell you not to worry, but it really does help to get distracted. Find a stupid comedy, or do mean things to torture your husband, whatever it takes to get your mind off it. I bled every day from week 4 to week 13 with my third pregnancy, and she was born a healty 10 pounds eight months later! Sometimes it is just blood, and not a miscarriage. Just relax and wait till you get your next hcg levels, there is nothing you can do until then. I will pray for you.

Stop panicking! They would have kept u in hospital if necessary. You are going back in the morning so calm down and make sure u go. Forget your breasts, they don't tell u anything.
I've had several children. They are all different the pregnancies, and there are no rules. With one pregnancy I had lots of bleeding up to six months and another in the first 3 months. Best thing is to rest. Either go to bed (sleep/read/watch telly), or sit and put your feet up. Get someone else to run around. Don't do anything. Get a lift to the hospital tomrw.........no buses. Keep the hospital up to date with what is happening and don't be afraid to ring them......after all its your baby, and thats what they're there for.

Answer 4

i had bleeding around this stage in my first pregnancy, it was just implantation bleeding of the fertilised egg still burying into the womb wall. I went to the doctor anyway to get it checked out, but all was fine. The blood was darker like a brownish colour. If it is bright red all can still be well (see other answers here) but you need to get tests done at the hospital or ur doctors.

Answer 5

Ok, try and relax........if you are miscarrying, you should experience symptoms similar to your period, but the crampinng may be more severe. If you miscarry, your cervix is trying to rid itself of the baby, and you may see clotty blood over the course of several days, and then up to two weeks possibly. If you are miscarrying, My heart goes out to you, it is a very tough emotional thing, however, once you put things in perspective, you will realize that God has a plan, your body realized that this baby would not do well in this world, birth defects, etc., and instead would best be suited as a little angel. I wish you luck, try to relax, and take care of yourself.

Answer 6

the best thing for you to do is ring or go to your doctors. At least to put your mind at rest. This has happen to my friend a lot she has constantly been bleeding with cramps every few weeks and she is now 26 weeks pregnant. You may just be unlucky and have a bad pregnancy like her. But at least give your doctors a ring because every person is different.

Answer 7

It could be a possibility. I'm curious if it is around your time of the month. If so, then it could be nothing. Some women still have their periods during the beginning stages. The soreness of your breast could be due to the pregnancy. If your HCG levels are still high then that is good. Try not to stress about it because stress will not help.

Answer 8

i had bleeding with my 1st pregnancy and the dr. said it was normal. i carried to 40 weeks. with my third pregnancy i had a miscarriage at about 8weeks. i started spotting a little and it got a little worse every day until i miscarried on the 4th day of bleeding and cramping. it is very normal to bleed your 1st time around especially early on in pregnancy because your body is trying to adjust to the new change. it sometimes takes a while for your body to recognise the new change. i think you will be fine if you aren't having any cramping at all. TRUST ME you would know if you were having a miscarriage, you would be passing clumps of blood it wouldn't be normal bleeding. best of luck to you!

Answer 9

bleeding durring pregnacy is never a good sign and u may have miscarried but you should go to your doctor to be sure, but if u havent miscarried (and you want to treat it like that) then the best thing to do is just relax and try not to be stressed out listen to some music or read a book just take it easy

Answer 10

Don't worry so much! I bleed during the first months of my pregnancy and I am not 26 weeks pregnant. Don't let it get to you because it can all be mental. Just go to the dortor.
