prayers please....

edited January 2012 in Pregnant
So I'm only 6 weeks along... It took us over 2 years to get preggo... And the last 3 days I've been spotting. So we went to the ER and they did blood work, my hcg levels are on the lower end of 'normal' for being 6 weeks. They also did an ultrasound to check things out. Cervix is still closed Thank God. The tech saw a very faint flicker of a heart beat so things are okay so far... But the doc said I've got a 50/50 chance of a 'threatened miscarriage' or a 'spontaneous abortion' (talk about words that're sure to send me into a panic). I got put on bed rest until Tuesday when the doc is open. And wow... For a lazy person, I get up and move a lot more than I thought I did. On top of it all, I have a bad upper respiratory infection so i can't rest like I need to. The doc gave me cough syrup with codine in it to help me breath and sleep... Please please please pray with us that this baby sticks in there and we don't lose it... I'm not a fan of this 50/50 thing. :( trying very hard to NOT lose my mind with fear.

  • Who else spotted in their first trimester? Is the baby okay?
  • Prayers coming your way! When I was 6 weeks I spotted alot also I thought I had lost my baby. I went in for my blood hcg and it was on the low side as well but it did double when they tested me again. It took us 2 years as well as fertility treatments to concieve. I now have an 11 week old in my arms:) I will pray for you momma

  • @mckenzie23 that makes me feel a lot better that you went through the same thing... I don't want to have to test myself amd find out if I'm strong enough to.deal with a miscarriage and trying again...
    @itlnckl thank you... I'm resting as much as I can stand... I get up and start doing things without even realizing it.

  • Possible TMI but I bled very bad with my last pregnancy, to the point that it was pooling in the toilet. However, I have the beautiful little baby that was growing inside of me that they told me I was losing, sound asleep in her crib, and she will be 8 months old in 9 days. Sticky baby dust to you!!
  • I am in no position to.care about tmi :) I'd love all the positive success stories you've got!!
  • @lilsurgarsmomma they told me the exact samething like i bled like crazy to the point i was soaking threw pads they also told me to just get a d&c.... however i did not lose the baby i bled way into my second trimester i now have a beautiful baby boy that is four months old :)



    so i hope two simular stories give u hope because there is hope

    o and btw i had just had a miscarriage eight weeks prior to the bleeding
  • It was just a flicker of a heart beat... He couldn't get a reading of it but he kept catching small glimpses of it... That reassured me. And I'm not bleeding enough to fill a pad... But after the issues we had trying to get preggo, Im totally freaking out... And then they used those two BAD words and bam... Nervous wreck.

    Thank you for your prayers ladies. @skysma I'm very sorry to hear of the miscarriage and very happy the next one made it.
  • my miscarriage tore me to pieces but once i realized that it would have been a billion times harded when i felt the kicks rolls love taps the whole nine and that it wasnt my fault and that god had other plans for me that helped me a ton....

    and bleeding doesnt always mean ur going to lose the baby if i had a dime for every doctor i saw tell me i needed a d&c i would be rich lol

    well atleast it felt that way.

    there is hope take a couple steps back and breath run ur self a warm bath drink some tea have hubby rub ur back read a book as hard ad it is u just need to calm down and relax its way better on you and baby please tag me and keep me updated i know exactly how you feel ive been in the same boat i will say a prayer for you guys

    and the heartbeat is alot of hope
  • I spotted in my first trimester an they told me threatend miscarriage also an I now have a big healthy yet bad lil 18 month old girl:)
  • Sorry you have to worry about this and can't just enjoy being pregnant:( I'll pray for you.
  • I will, thank you very much. Were sitting down for a movie night tonight and trying to calm down and.relax. I know freaking out is not going to help things :(
  • i know sweets it super duper hard
  • One badass thing about this pregnancy... I haven't been sick once!!! Figure if i haven't gotten sick into the 6th week, I shouldn't have to worry about it right? Maybe I'll get lucky :)
  • I will be praying for you!!!
  • I'm praying for you hun. I bled at 11 weeks with my first (3 year old most handsome boy now) bled at 11 weeks with my second and found out I had had a missed miscarriage and spotted at 6 and then again at 8 weeks with the gorgeous baby boy I have in my arms right now. Sticky baby dust to you, get lots of rest and try and stay positive x

    @RedShadoe0 I bled when I was pregnant with my son. I spotted off and on, and had a placental bleed at 11 weeks with him where I thought I was losing him. I continued spotting up to about 14 weeks, and was on pelvic rest the entire time. I did have him early at 32+4 weeks, but he's now a healthy and rambunctious 4 year old. :) I also had 2 MC in 2011 at 9&10 weeks. They now call me a "habitual aborter"...all I can do is laugh at how horrible it sounds. Try to take it easy as much as you can and drink your water! Fingers crossed your numbers continue to go up.
  • @rtmommy habitual aborter sounds horrible! Goodness you'd think they'd call it something that doesn't have that negative connotation to it! @mama2be11_4_11 I don't wanna say 'good' but I'm glad just because the levels are low doesn't mean its a done deal.

    Thank you ladies for the reassurance... It helps a ton!
  • I've got the print out from the test results but I'm not getting up to get it LOL. I go back Tuesday to take another blood test and see if the levels are still rising or what's goin on.. we shall see :(
  • @skysma ... Woke up to bright red blood with tiny clots and back pain this.morning... Stupid doctors office doesn't open till 7 so I'm not sure when they.can get me in today... Let's pray I'm just a wierdo who has her period somehow during pregnancy and I'm not losing this baby. This is typical for me as a period though... Ugh.
  • I bleed during my first trimester(thought it was my period) had 'low levels' according to the dr and im still pregnant..i hope all is well with u
  • Thank you @kayleigh27 ... I hope so too... To the ER we go!!
  • please keep me updated
  • @skysma .... I lost it. Hormone test came back significantly lower than on Sunday. I lost the baby.
  • Oh no!!! I am so sorry to hear that. :(
  • So sorry to hear :( MC is so painful. I'm around if you want to chat. I know what you're going through. Hugs.
  • Oh no! I'm so sorry!!!
  • I feel like I let my hubby down and disappointed my family and all that crap. I know I didn't, I know it wasn't my fault, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around it... And i feel embarrassed to have.to go back and tell everyone nevermind, I'm not pregnant now.
