im 7 weeks pregnant and im bleeding.

im 7 weeks pregnant, and i've been bleeding for a week now. its very scary. the day after i started bleeding, i called the doctor and they saw me the same day. when i went, i got my blood taken, i got an u/s and i heard my baby's heartbeat(which is the most amazing sound ever). the doctor also said its normal to bleed lightly. but is it normal to bleed lightly for over a week? my friend is 6 months pregnant now, and she told me when she was two months pregnant she had started bleeding, and it lasted as long as her period should. i dont know. i just want someone to talk to about this, because the wait sucks, and i really dont have anyone to talk to about this. please give me some different advice, something that i havent heard before!

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. It is very difficult to lose a baby, I had my first miscarriage when I was 6 weeks pregnant but didnt find out until my u/s at 7 weeks.I had a d&c then. I just had my second one last week and my second d&c on Friday. I just found out it was a blighted ovum, pregnancy hormone with no fetus or anything. Physically you recover fine and emotionally you will too. It does take time. No matter when you get pregnant again you will never forget your first pregnancy and you shouldnt. That baby was a part of you.
So keep your head up and stay positive because you can't give up or you will never have a family. I keep telling myself that.

Well Hi Again! You are 16... so take it easy, don't rush into anything! I'm glad to see that you are doing better. Take some time to treat yourself and take care of you, physically you are doing fine but I'm pretty sure that mentally you are still bleeding tears.

It was a month yesterday that I got my D&C... today I have my first periods since. Life goes on, the big wheel keeps on turning and not one day since, I have not thought of my little angel.

So take your time, take a deep breath, enjoy the warm sun on your face, the summer wind caressing your skin, listen to your body an give yourself the time to heal!

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I have been thorough very similar, in 2006 i  got pregnant(first pregnancy), and at around 7 1/2 weeks I started spotting for less than 2 days. The day after when I bled I had an u/s and they saw the bay and the heat bit. BUT at 13 weeks routine scan I found out I had a missed miscarriage at 8 1/2 weeks. So the baby had died a week after the bleeding. I had to do D&C . I am now 19 weeks pregnant and thanks god all appears to be normal. Just remember each pregnancy is DIFFERENT. I didn't want to get pregnant straight away because 1. I was scared of the same happening. 2. wanted to sort out some health issues before I do, which I couldn't any way. Best of luck and go ahead to try again when you are ready.

I will say though that this forum is a wonderful support with lots of wonderful ladies and we are all here to listen anytime you need to vent.

EVERY WOMAN who has had a m/c or lost a baby feels like that.  I can assure u. I had a m/c 11/07 & when i found out I am preg again, the thought of having another m/c jus would not get out my head. I had to have a D&C though. Anyway, you jus have to have faith that everything will be ok the next time around. ~Good Luck~

I am so sorry for everything you have been through. You need to allow yourself sometime to grieve and get yourself strong emotionally and physically. Alot of women feel like that after they have a miscarriage and when they get pregnant again they are scared. You need to just give it time. My thoughts and prayers are with you . Good Luck in what ever you decide.

i had to go to the er today cause the baby passed by itself. was there for about 6 hours. they wanted to make sure  everything passed and my cervix closed by itself, if not i woud have had to get the surgery. my body did what it was supposed to and passed everything, and luckily my cervix closed and i didnt need to get the D&C. it was the most horrible thing i've ever experienced though.. all the blood, pain and tissue coming out and then the baby coming out in its sac...(sorry if its too much info, but i just have to get this whole thing out of me instead of keeping it bottled inside)i can see the baby. and its tiny little hands and feet. and eyes. so much has happened in the past two days.. and im emotionally drained by all of this i cant even cry anymore. but for some reson when i saw the baby, it kinda made me feel better. which to me is weird, but it answered some of my questions, like how big was it?, was it developing to fast?, etc. well after all that has happened, its not over yet. i have to go to the doctors every two days to get blood drawn to make sure the pregnancy hormone levels go back to zero.  idk. i just wanted to update everyone. thank you for listening.

ohkay. so when i woke up this morning, the bleeding was alot heavier than usual, and it was red. i started getting cramps throught the day but i didnt think anything of it, i thought maybe it was just gas? i went to the doctors and they did an ultasound, saw the baby... but there was no heartbeat.me and my boyfriend were devastated and i was so lost because the day after i started bleeding everything was fine, there was a heartbeat and everything, and a week and a half later the baby is still inside of me but dead? i just dont get it.  i have a D&C on monday. my first time, and nervous.
