Taking care of yourself with baby on the way.

Answer

Hi, When I was seven weeks pregnant with my first child, I started bleeding and continued for the next four weeks. During that time I had three ultrasounds, all of which showed a developing baby with a heartbeat. After bleeding four weeks, one of my nurses whispered confidentially that maybe I was too busy and should rest for a week. I was working a full time job, taking two college courses, doing aerobics five days a week. I did rest and fortunately the bleeding stopped. That child is now fifteen years old. Make sure you visit your practictioner with any and all questions. They never did determine why I bled so long. I am eight weeks pregnant with my seventh pregnancy, three of which were full-term deliveries, and three were miscarriages. I hope for a positive outcome for you.

Answer

Hello All;

I understand what you are all feelings. I am almost 9 weeks and last weekend I had brown discharge. I was so alarmed because last year I had what was termed a missed abortion. The doctor at ER took blood work and told me to come back the next day. It did and they compared the levels and informed me the pregnancy was terminated but to come back the next day for an ultrasound and arrangements will be made from there. I had the ultrasound last Monday and there was a strong heart beat and the size was correct. I was so happy to hear the heart beat but afraid to get excited yet. I still have brown discharge off and on and use a panyliner. I hope eveythings works out for all of us. best wishes Erica
