Spotting and Scared
I started spotting last night - I was so very scared. This happened at the exact same time in the last pregnancy and then two weeks later the baby had no heartbeat. I am praying this time is different. I went in this morning for my normally scheduled ultrasound and bloodwork at the RE office. The baby looks good - measuring at 23 which I am told is normal for 9 weeks and the heart was beating away - they said they could not find a source of the bleeding. I met with the RE and he said that I have a less than 1% chance of miscarrying - I told him he told me that last time too. He said he wanted me in bed until the bleeding had stopped so I took off of work today. The bleeding has stopped - but I am very crampy and I do not have the morning sickness to bad anymore. The RE said for John to take my shoes because he does not want me doing anything or going anywhere - I am allowed to go to work only and that is it. He said he does not see lightening stricking twice for us. I have another ultrasound next Thursday - so we just have to wait and see what happens. Please keep us in your prayers and pray my little peanut is a fighter and what happened last year is not happening to us again.

((HUGS)) Praying for you and that little miracle!!
I am so sorry that the bleeding is happening again.
I know everyone is different but a friend of mine miscarried at 10 weeks and then second pregnancy started bleeding at the same time. She feared the worst, but all was well and she has a beautiful little girl in her arms now.
There is hope. Hang in there. I have everything crossed for you guys

I am so sorry to hear this. I am sure it is very scary, even though it can be very normal. I do know a lot of ladies I know that are on blood thinners for the MTHFR do tend to bleed more during pregnancy- and plenty have carried to term health-ily.
A friend of mine had 2 miscarriages because of her undiagnosed blood clotting disorder. Her third pregnancy she was on her blood thinning medication and still experienced the spotting, but everything ended up being fine. Her daughter's happy and healthy. There's still very much hope!
((HUGS)) Hang in there! I spotted (and bled) up until 14 weeks with the girls. It was awful and I was terrified. After two losses it was so hard not think the worst. We got our happing ending though - babbling away at each other in the other room. My fingers, toes and all other appendages are crossed for you! Keep your feet up, drink LOTS of water, and try to relax (impossible I know). Thinking of you and saying many prayers!!!
oh no Jackie, I am praying for you and your little peanut and hope all is okay
I'm saying a prayer for you!
Sending so many thoughts and prayers your way!
I know it's early right now, but you might want to think about getting doppler. I was able to get a HB at 10.5 weeks, and I swear it's put me at ease so many times that I would pay triple the price for it.
hang in there lady, I know the bleeding can be terrifying.
Praying for your peanut! I'm sure everything will be fine...just try to rest and not freak out...which I know is super hard to do!! :) Everything will be ok.
praying! lots of hugs!
i know it can be so scary, after 2 MC's I started bleeding so heavy & was crampy, & the dr told me I was miscarrying came in to schedule my D&C...& now I have a 7 month old. He was wrong.
keep strong!
Jackie, honey, you are in my prayers. (((HUGS)))
I am sorry you are going through such a scary time. Keeping you and baby in my prayers! I hope you take it easy and get plenty of rest until your next appt. We are all praying for you guys!!
Damn! Thinking of you, praying for peace. I still have hope.
Sending lots and lots of prayers. {{hugs}}
praying and praying and praying for you.... I'm sure everything is fine. Take it easy and try to rest.
Thinking about you!
sending lots of prayers to you.
