Answer 2

I miscarried at 14 weeks and I had full on contractions for 2 hours. I dont know if this is true but I heard at 7-10 weeks and have a miscarriage, you have really really really bad cramps before you lose the baby. If you havent had those yet, perhaps you havent lost the baby. When you called the doc office, are you talking to the Recepionist, your doctor or his nurse? If you are talking to the Receptionist I would call back and ask for your doc or his nurse. Also, maybe you should think about going to the ER? Thats what I would do. Best of luck. And if you do miscarry, my heart goes out to you. I know how much it emotionally hurts.

This sounds weird to me that the doc says to wait it out and rest. I started bleeding one afternoon and called my doc and they said if it got heavier by the next morning to go right to the ER. I did this because it got worse and they did an exam and then a pregnancy test. By taking my blood. The test was negative verifying i had lost our baby that we tried for 4 months to get pregnant with. A week later the bleeding stopped.The doctor told us to wait two weeks and we could try again and are now in our 31st week with a healthy baby girl.
We were somewhere between 5-8 wks pregnant when we had the miscarriage, but had only known for about a week. It was disappointing, but something we were okay with by the time we could try again.
I would say go to the ER and say i am pregnant and bleeding heavily. They will take care of you.

Answer 4

first off, stop worrying (hard i know) because that will make it worse.
With my second pregnancy, i started bleeding at 9 weeks and the doc told me if there was no cramping then to just rest and come in, i went in and got ultrasound, baby was still there and okay
into my second trimester i was still bleeding heavily, I could sit on the toilet and just hear it rushing out.
but my baby was OK i still didn't have cramping just bleeding.
If you are misscarrying right now you would know it, you would be having bad cramps and feeling really sick!!
Call your doctor in the morning he/she will probably get you in for an ultrasound, if they don't then i would definatly switch doctors.
the first doc i went to with my son didn't do anything when i started bleeding, just told me to rest and i didn't take that for an answer. so i called around and got into my new doctors office that same day for an ultrasound.
so to repeat, your not cramping which is a good sign, call docs office and get an ultrasound scheduled and if they won't then call another doctor till you find one that can get you in and cares about the situation.
Good luck, and i just lifted up a prayer for you!

Try not to worry. 1 in 4 normal pregnancies experience bleeding in the first trimester. If you are not experiencing a lot of pain or cramping, try not to worry about it. definately make an appt with your doctor to come in. Your doctor put your on bed rest because if you are miscarrying, that is all they can do.

I had a patient that didn't want to get her blood pregnancy test done because she was bleeding, so she said if she was pregnant, she was miscarrying. I convinced her to come in and her test was fine. Her second test 2 days later showed levels rising at the proper rate. All of her ultrasounds were fine and she moved on to her OB after she was 9 weeks pregnant. She had bled for 20 days but now she is happily expecting with no other complications.

if you are miscarrying, don't take it out on yourself. the number one reason for miscarriage is chromasonal abnormality in the embryo. It can happen anytime, because 1 in 5 eggs you produce is not viable. Only about 10% of the average healthy non-smoking male's sperm is normally shaped and mobile. If an abnormal sperm or abnormal egg fertilizes and the abnormal embryo implants, then the pregnancy is not viable and will most often terminate before endangering the mother or producing offspring with birth defects. if you are miscarrying, it is for the better of you and there is nothing you can do to save this pregnancy.

i also had a miscarriage, at 6wks 2 days, and i had horrible cramps and noticed that all of my pregnancy symptoms (bloating, sore and engorged breasts, headaches, nausea) suddenly went away. i knew there was something wrong before i started bleeding, but i was cramping like crazy.


***Melissa - you are saying that half of bleeding in pregnancies leads to miscarriage? where do you get your information? i work at a fertility clinic and get my info directly from doctors who have over 20 years experience in the field. I see women miscarry often enough to know that bleeding isn't always the first sign.

Get an appointment as soon as you can. Insist if you need to. If need be go down to the local hospital with a good supportive person. Ofcourse, it'll be easier if you have an appointment.

I'm sorry that your doctor is about as much use as a chocolate teapot. Take good care of yourself. Do you have at least one good supportive person that you can rely on to be with you?

It is possible to have a little bit of bleeding & still be pregnant & give birth to a healthy baby. I really hope it all turns out for the best.

Answer 7

I'm so sorry you are going through this! I would go to the ER if I were you. There probably is nothing they can do if you are miscarrying but you will at least have peace of mind and not be sitting around wondering what is going. I also wanted to tell you that I have had several miscarriages and no cramps just heavy red bleedding like a period.

Answer 8

Oh poor you. The Doctor is saying just rest because at 7 weeks pregnant there's not much they could do and if somethings going to happen then it will happen. Oh the brighter side of things if you're just lightly spotting it's quite normal in the early stages of pregnancy. If you were losing the baby you'd more likely have cramps and heavy bleeding. I know it's hard but try not to worry until you've seen your doctor again. I had a friend who bled and even passed a blood clot but her baby was absolutely fine. Please don't worry - just do as instructed and try to rest xxx Good luck x

Answer 9

Your Dr probably knew last night that you were having a miscarriage and that there couldn't be anything done to prevent it. You should go and see your gynaecologist and they will make sure that your insides are totally clear, not nice - I know. Afterwards they will discuss what you want to do next? Give yourself some time, it isn't the end of the world - I know! You will recover and at least your pregnancy wasn't too far forwards. xxx

Answer 10

This happened to me at 6 weeks and im now 37 weeks gone. You need to go to the early pregnancy unit at the hospital so they can check for the heartbeat.

Its best to be prepared but it might be fine. Bleeding in early pregnanacy is more common than people lead you to believe but it should ALWAYS be checked out.

Good luck my thoughts are with you at what i know is a worrying time.

Answer 11

So sorry, it doesnt look good unfortunately. The doctor should do an ultrasound today or tomorrow and check to see what is going on. 50% of the time bleeding in the first trimester ends in a miscarriage. I bled on and off, and luckily my baby was fine, but it was only for an hour at the most when it happened.
