I'm a little worried

[Joy998]

I have had three healthy, beautiful children.  We just found out that we are expecting again.  Went for my nurse's consultation today.  According to LMP, I should be right at 6 weeks (5 weeks, 6 days today).  They are monitoring my hcG levels, and are concerned.  My level 8 days ago was 71, today it was 206.  It is increasing, but maybe too slowly?  I've never been thru this testing with my other children.  I have no bleeding or spotting, no pain.  I've never miscarried, and had 3 perfect pregnancies.  I have had a history of miscalculation with my due dates.  (Only one of my children was correct.  The other two were off - one was off by a month, and one was off by a week.)  Could I just be earlier in the pregnancy than they believe?

Slowly rising HCG in the very early stages of preg., I've heard, is normal. But I'm not a doc so please don't take my word for it. Just keep getting monitored.

Just because you have children doesn't mean you can't or won't m/c. My docs have told me that every woman miscarries at least once in her life, whether she knows it or not.

During a m/c you won't bleed/cramp right away. It usually takes a couple weeks.

Just keep getting monitored, get a second opinion if you want. You may or may not be m/cing
