Scared and upset

Hi. I am 7 weeks pregnant. I had an ultrasound last Thursday, after I had some very light bleeding Wednesday night. It was pinkish then brown, and there was a little cramping. I spoke to my Dr and she said it was completely normal and to call if it was red. I have had some spotting since then but it's always brown. Any cramps I had were in my hips and just achey. Some lower back pain but it felt more like pressure. I had another ultrasound yesterday and it did not go well. The tech asked if I ate and I had about 3 hours prior and she said it just makes things a little cloudy. She then said the spotting, which at this point was hardly anything, was just the old stuff.  As she was checking the baby, I saw a circle, later found out that was the yolk. She said she was nervous and didn't like what she was seeing. The babys heart was flickering. We did see it but it would pump really fast then slow down for a little, then pick back up. She never said what the rate was. And she said the baby was measuring about the same as the week before. She got the Dr and my husband and I were told instantly that it's not a good sign and prepare. We really didn't appriciate the way that was approached. Of course we got upset and she said oh that's normal too... well yes obviously. She also said the yolk looked a little larger than normal too. She was already giving options on how to end the pregnancy but we have another appointment on Wednesday to check everything.
I dread every time going to the bathroom, yet still have pregnany symptoms, little am sickness, tired, peeing a lot, thirsty, breast soreness and tenderness. I almost wish she didn't go into as much detail because I'm trying to not be stressed but that's all I am. I'm praying something changes for the better, but she did not give us a lot of help.
I did make an appointment with another OBGYN for Monday. Hopefully insurance will cover it. I'll have to pay out of pocket for the ultrasound but I am desperate for answers and if there is anything I can do. I'm home from work today and am praying everything will be ok.

Can you give me any advice??

I know how hard a miscarriage can be, I went through one on Mothers Day earlier this year, but am now 9 weeks and my Dr says everything is looking good and oddly enough am due in May next year. The only advice I can give is to rest as much as possible and try not to stress too much because that can make it worse. Dont lose hope either because it could just be your body prepping for the pregnancy which can involve spotting and cramping. Prayers sent your way and hoping for the best

Thank you both of you. Its so hard waiting. My husband is being so great and I know this is really hard for him.  He is a total fixer.
Both him and I are smaller and we were both small when born. I know my mom had a m/c before me so at least she can help. I have no spotting at all and just a small stomach ache but it could be I was forcing myself to eat. I know i have to.
HP-Im praying for you as well. I want you to have  healthy happy baby
PL-thank you so much too and congrats on your baby girl! Its relief to know Im not alone

Sorry I forgot to add at this point if you are misscarrying they wont be able to do much for baby which can seem really cold hearted but eventually you will be able to understand that there was a reason why it happened and when it happens so early in the pregnancy its how the chromosomes came together so its not your fault. I know what I am saying wont help because its still losing a child.

Im sorry hun. When I miscarried at 7 weeks at the end of may early june the baby had already absorbed back into the uterine wall and my body was getting ready to abort all placenta and remains. I couldnt believe that I was miscarrying and was depressed. I end up getting pregnant the week i stoped bleeding which i only bled for a week and now im pregnant with a healthy 19 week old baby girl, sucky thing is I wont ever have a real due date due to the face that I hadnt had a period since April! Good luck and I hope baby is just a little peanut and nothing goes wrong. I will be praying for you and I'm here to talk if you want to message me

I wish I could give you news that everything would be okay. But I've experienced close to the same thing. I had an ultrasound at 5weeks before and I ended up having a miscarriage. I'm 7weeks today With a new pregnancy and I'm afraid the same thing is going to happen yet again. But from what I've been told. As long as its not bright blood and Your not cramping real bad you and baby should be okay.
