The first day of my last period was 20th Nov 2009, 4 weeks later I did a test and it came back possitive, on christmas day I woke up brown spotting also v slight bleeding (dark red) with tiny clots in only twice thrugh that day also severe cramp pains. So I went to a and e they did a test and it came back negative so they sent me home, they were so unhelpfull I felt that they thought I was a lyer. (South shields hospital). I only spotted that day and the cramp went away still today I haven't had a period and I feel like my stomach is stretching . Since last6 week I have done about 6 tests and they are all possitive so im all confused am I pregnant off last time ans possibly have lost the baby but the sac is still growing or have I just getting pregnant and only 5 weeks pregnant from christmas day. Has any one else experienced this

Please please help! My head is all over the place.
I'm in my third pregnancy, I'm 8 weeks today. Last Tuesday I started spotting brown blood which by Wedsnesday was bright red and complete with various size clots. unfortuantly my flow was very heavy. Scan to confirm mc showed a sack, with fetus, with heartbeat but the sonographer said it was slower than it should be?! Bleeding and pain continued til yesterday where we went to a&e. They examined me. Checked my wee and said test was negative and wanted to book me for d&c. Consultant on ward did another examination and said it was a complete miscarriage and go home. The bleeding has stopped now, and I've just done another test, which is positive. Could they have got it wrong? Could I still be pregnant? I'm holding on to the fact there was a baby, with a heartbeat despite me bleeding and losing clots.... Am I setting myself for more heart ache? Any advice is much much appreciated. Thank you xxx

hi I am 8 weeks pregnant and had been bleeding for 2 days with sometimes back pain. Had a scan yesterday and the sonographer said that it looked like a 5 week pregnancy instead of 8 weeks. They asked me to have another scan in 2 weeks. I'm so worried. i read that 8 week foetus should have heart beats now but there wasn't any in the scan.

hiya im nearly 14weeks pregnant and have been having very bad stomach cramps, after a second scan a 5cm blood clot was found on my womb,i have had no bleeding but there is nothing the hosptial can do for me as they say i will either pass it or it will disolve back into my womb,there is a slight chance of misscarriage but my baby was fine on the scan and the sack the baby's in was fine so ive just got to hope for the best. if anyone has expierenced this before please let me know as im really worried.

Hi, im 21 weeks pregnant and last week i started bleeding after making love and phoned my doctor. The bleeding kept on for about a day, i got a scan and everything seemed to be ok but still i am worried. The doctor said that there is no bleeding behind the placenta and it probably happended because my womb pulled together. My baby's heartbeat was normal and she was lying there as if nothing was wrong and as if nothing happened. :-) She was ok. Is this normal?

Hi, im 8weeks and 3days into my pregnancy and started to bleed yesterday midway making love, it wasnt to heavy, just very fresh bright red blood.(scary as you can imagine.) Anyway i was taken to A&E where after an our i saw the most straight forward nurse id ever met who told me that im probably misscarrying and that if i am theres nothin they can to do to save it, also there was a 4 our waiting list to see the doctor and i wouldnt be able to have a scan for a couple of days because they were jam packed.Anyway as you can imagine i was distrought and sick with worry but i waited a few hours and when i finally got to see the doctor she took my bloods and took me straight in for a scan. Thankfully my scan showed my baby with a healthy heartbeat, sitting nicely in my womb... There seemed to be no problem. When i had my internal examination they told me i had minor bleeding from the uterus and they didnt know what was causing it, most probably an infection but they couldnt be certain so they took a swab and im waiting to here the results, thankfully today ive stopped bleeding. I dont know what caused this, i had a termination about 2years ago and i recently had the implant removed to so there could be various different reasons i guess. I hope this eases some minds take care people xx

Hi All, I'm 9 weeks pregnant and have been having really bad stomach and back pains! also really heavy bleeding and clots! gotta go for a scan 2moro to find out if everything is ok! fingers crossed, i'm so nervous!

Hi I'm 15 weeks pregnant and had alot of brown discharge when I was 8 weeks they told me it was old blood from the implantation it all stopped then when I was 13 weeks pregnant I started bleeding really heavily bright red blood and clots I was admitted to hospital and told that I was miscarrying. They gave me a scan and I couldn't believe it when they told me that my baby was fine but I had a huge clot attached to my womb and a bruise and this was thie cause for my bleeding. Bleeding is alarming at any stage of pregnancy but it doesn't always mean your losing your baby as I've found out but do get any sort of bleeding checked out
take care and good luck everybody

Hi everyone. Hope you are all well. I am here to hopefully ease some womens minds as i had mine eased today. I have been having some bleeding on and off since Tuesday 9th (the day my period was tue) and i tested positive late on Wed! :) i am 4 weeks 5days. i have already been to the doctors and confirmed everything but last night my bleeding seemed a little too red compaired to what i had been having. So today i went to the hospital and explained it to them, they re-tested me (still positive!! woo!) and my blood pressure is all good etc. And was told that although bleeding should always be reported and checked, the amount i am having is, in their eyes miniscule. They class using 5 sanitary towels a day as light bleeding. I was hugely relieved by this info. So any other mums to be, please get checked esp if u have pain, which i dont. but try not to worry unless u are loosing alot more blood. Take care all and the very best of luck xxx hugs xxx

I'm eight weeks pregnant and I've had some slight bleeding on two days this week. I was so worried as I soooo want this baby after loosing my 18month old son, and having a stillborn at 34 weeks. Had a scan today and the little monkey's heart is beating fine! Still nercous but a little more settled, midwife thinks it was probably break through bleeding as my period would have been due this week. Good luck ladies x x x

Hi, i wanted to share my experience with any one who is worried im 12 weeks...yesturday i started bleeding quite heavily, by the afternoon it was a lot worse with very dark jelly like blood, i went to A&E & was told after waitng 2 hours i most probably loosing my baby, but to go back this morning for a scan. Anyway my scan shows my baby is fine its heart was beating, the bleeding is caused as the placenta is lying over the cevix opening, aperently it should move as baby gets bigger....still bleeding now, am very scared but at least babys ok at the mo! Please get any bleeding checked by a doctor asap, dont wait.xxx

I had a miscarriage June 30, 2008. I showed on a hpt that i was pregnant for about 2 1/2 months after that. My body hadn't gotten rid of everything it needed too. I did not have d&c because my 1st ultrasound showed nothing left in my uterus until i went and saw a specialist about 1 1/2 months later. Now I took another hpt yesterday which shows i'm pregnant again. I am bleeding again and mild cramps. I am going to see my doctor today. My last period lasted about 2 weeks which is completely abnormal for me. During my whole miscarriage process i had regular periods and they lasted only about 5 to 7 days and came on time every month. I hope this helps someone else who may be going through the same thing. I do have 1 son who is 2 1/2 and i had a perfect pregnancy with him minus kidney and bladder infections first 5 months. But that is due to other problems I have.

hi,
i was in allot of pain with my back and what felt like period pains 2days ago. I went to the hospital to get checked and was told everything was normal it was just muscle pain. Also the took a urine sample and said i had protein in my water which could be a kidney infection.
The pains gone but when i went to the tolilet was bright red blood in the toliet, then when i checked again 10min later it was a browny colour.
Not quite sure what 2 do, hospital said i was ok, and have the doctor in the morning should i just speak 2 the doctor tomorrow?

Hi there,
was very worried last week when i had some minor bleeding at 12 weeks. Read lots of forum comments and spoke to family and friends who had all had some spotting and succesful pregnancies to follow. Felt reassured by all of this. Do not want to scare others in doubt but feel it is wise to remind that there are 2 sides to the story and it doesn't have to be red blood and intense cramps to be a sign of trouble. My scan showed that my baby had died a few weeks ago, I carried on oblivious, starting to think about maternity clothes, telling everyone and buying things for the nursery. In hindsight, the morning sickness had gone as quickly as it had arrived and my tummy had started to swell and then stayed much the same. Feel gutted obviously and must now pick myself up and start all over again. But just wanted to balance up this discussion as I feel we all have a preconception of miscarriage and the signs(myself included) when in reality some of us may experience very little to suggest there is anything wrong. If in any doubt, have a scan to put your mind at rest. Good luck to all!

hey i am 6 wks and 5 days pregnant i had fairly heavy bleeding at around 4 wks i went to the hosp after seing a doctor and they were very unhelpful...i spoke to my midwife who said that if i do another pregnancy test in a wk or so and it comes back positive i am still pregnant...so fingers crossed.....it will be ok i am going for an early scan in a few wks as the scans they did at 4 wks were usles as u are unable to see anything at that early stage. Hope all is ok..my advice is take it easy see how much blood andfor how long....if in any pain phone docs...if worried phone docs or m/w try not to panic.

Hi Im Karen, Im 24 and in the 11th week of my 3rd pregnency. My first I had spotting at 14 weeks and they told me that I had "disapering twin syndrum" I went on to have a healthy little boy 7lbs 7oz and a 10lb placenta, my second I had spoting at 6 weeks and after blood tests and an ultrasound they told us that the baby was fine and then the day before I was at 10 weeks it was back. So again we went to the ER and were told that we had had a "missed miscarage" (where the baby had died two and a half weeks prior to that ER viset) And now I am almost to the 12th week of my 3rd pregnancy and yet again I have had spotting. It even got really bad one day so back to the ER we went and they got the heart beat and labeled it as a thretened miscarage and put me at high risk. Has any one else had problems like this? If you have what did you do to cope wtiht he emotions of all of it? Its jsut up and down every day!
