Im really Scared according to my Doc im 5 weeks 2days pregnant, days ago i started having cramping and light bleeding. I went to the doctor yesterday, she told me that everything looks fine, and that the bleeding and cramping could be normal. She said we have to wait and see. to just be optimistic. But she said to keep with my normal life and that there is nothing i could do to prevent a misscarige if its going to happend.
Today im still having light bleeding. I prey that everything is fine. But im so scared everytime i go to the restroom and find that im bleeding and cramping i start to cry. i raly want to have my baby.
Has this happend to anyone and still had there baby?
Hi, i went to the E.R on friday they said everything looked fine, then over the weekend i started to bleed heavy, little bit or cramps, im still bleeding as if im having my period, im so sad, i have and appt with my OB today, but i have a feeling it was a misscarrige, im bleeding to much. : (

I had a planned pregnancy that I desprately wanted too. Sadly, I experienced an ectopic a month ago-here's my experience:

On Feb 12th (at 5 weeks) I started with mild cramps and brown spotting. It went away for 2 days. On Feb 14th I had menstrual-style cramps and moderate red bleeding. They drew blood and my HcG was really low (81) and I was told that I was miscarrying. They monitored my HcG and it continued to rise, but not double. My bleeding stopped after about 4 days. I was hopeful that maybe they were wrong and I wasn't miscarrying.

On Feb 21, they did an sonogram and saw nothing in my uterus or tubes.

A few days later (Feb 24) the bleeding started again. The emergency room told me I was at the end of a miscarriage. My HcG was at 650.After a sonogram, they said my uterus was empty, not knowing much I went home. They missed something big.

Within 2 days of my first ER visit (Feb 26) I went to the ER again with SEVERE cramping on my left side. UNBEARABLE pain!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't emphasize that enough-it was the worst paine ever. My pregnancy always felt normal, then bleeding/cramping, then the stabbing pain. All in progression. My HcG was at 857 the day it ruptured. They did a sonogram and I was rushed into emergency surgery for an ectopic rupture.

If the HcG is rising and doubling every 2-3 days, that is a GREAT sign!

If it is dropping, you are most likely miscarrying.

If it is rising, but NOT doubling every 2-3 days, you most likely are ectopic.

HOPEFULLY everything is fine. Red blood will be a bad sign.

I was about 6 1/2 weeks when mine was discovered…I think the range is 5-8 weeks.

I wish you luck. If it gets worse, get to the ER overnight or this weekend. They will check your cervix to see if it is open or closed. CLOSED is a great sign. Good luck. Email me if you need any info or support. Good luck!

PS- you know your body. Trust your instincts and demand answers.

Let us know what happens!

I’m 35 weeks pregnant and yesterday my dr put me on bed rest because he thinks I have preeclampsia. He sent my urine to the lab, i have high blood pressure, high heart rate and swelling. If it turns out I have it, at what point do they induce? He said 35 weeks is still too early to induce and is sending me for a BPP ultrasound on the baby. Just curious if anyone else was in the same situation….

Probably at 37 weeks. You are full term at that point and it is safe to induce. We induced 3 weeks early and thank god we did because my little guy was already almost 8 pounds! Good luck

child and I had him prematurly because the pre-eclampsia was very severe. I'm 35 weeks right now and I'm haveing sharp pains in my lower stomache that I didn't have with my first son. They seem to be there everytime I get up from bed or from sitting down, I've been put on bedrest so I know that I haven't over done it. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

I agree with Jill. Since you have been put on bedrest, you have not been using your muscles and ligaments and they are not accustomed to you moving much. When you do sit up or stand up, you're likely to feel pain from many ligaments, but the round ligament is most certainly the one you're having pain from. You're ligaments are all loosening in preparation for childbirth so I would say you have nothing to worry about. Still, to be safe, you should phone your dr. in the morning and tell him/her what's going on. But I really wouldn't stress over it. You're already on bedrest because of high blood pressure, don't stress anymore than you have to!

My doctor prescribed Adalat to control my hypertension because I'm planning to have a baby soon? Anybody ever taken it while pregnant. Let me know how it was. Thanks.

There are warnings but I am sure your gynecologist will tell you if you are at any risk (or the fetus).

I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my first, and lately I find that I am unable to eat or drink much at all. I constantly feel like everything I eat is just going to get pushed back up. Especially when I bend over. Is the baby really big enough to be causing this yet? I assume it's just hormones, because I have had pretty bad heart burn all along.

I hear other women say they get hungier, but eating & drinking even small portions makes me sick.

Anyone else?

Every pregnancy is different. I didn't feel that way at all when I was pregnant with my daughter. I am now 21 weeks pregnant, and I feel that way. I feel like I'm starving, but when I go to eat, I take a couple bites and I'm full already. I'm having a boy, and carrying high, so I think he may be sitting on my stomach.

As far as the heartburn, I had that with my daughter, and she came out with a full head of hair. Studies show that if you have heartburn it can link to the baby having a lot of hair.

I would just eat as much as you can, and make sure you get plenty of fluids.
