please help!!!

I am supposedly 5-7 wks pregnant. I have been experiencing headaches, and since i found out i was pregnant I have been cramping nonstop for three whole days. From what I can remember I have seen dark blood once, and colors pink and light brown. some dark brown when i thought I started my period. When I was young i had an ovarian cyst, so I only have one ovary. I'm afraid I might be having a miscarriage. and I'm beyond stressed and freaking out. When I went to a free clinic this week they said that my cramping is something to be concerned about.

I had bleeding at 8 weeks with NO cramping.. I was doing heavy lifting, I went to the docs the next day and everything is fine I am 3 months. But you should always be seen with any bleeding during pregnancy.

Good Luck

Anytime you bleed in the beginning of pregnancy especially you should see your doctor right away. However, it doesn't always mean miscarriage. When I was 6 1/2 weeks pregnant I had light pinkish bleeding when I went to the bathroom followed by about 30 min or more of cramping so I went to the ER. The baby was just fine and I guess it is common for most pregnant women to experience some sort of bleeding in the 1st trimester. Also, when I was 10 weeks pregnant I was in bed and felt a weird wetness--turned on the lights and I was bleeding real heavy and the blood was dark red, looked like my period. I freaked out and even started crying. When I went to the doc the next morning everything was fine (I am now 26 weeks pregnant with no more bleeding issues).

cramping and bleeding or spotting while pregnant is not normal. i lost my 16 weeks baby girl just last june 24th. on my 11th week before, i started bleeding so i ask my dr about it and i found out that im a placenta previa.. im taking isoxilan to avoid losing my baby.. then i started to feel the pain last june 23..  the cramping is real painful,, and on june 24th, i lost my baby.. if i were you, you better get an appointment with your dr., that would be a big help.. do it for your baby,, because losing a baby is really painful. good luck!

I am so sorry for what your going through. I just m/c'd my baby two days ago and am still bleeding. I definitley also think that cramps aren't good and seeing blood isn't good either. I am surprised that the clinic didn't do an ultrasound! Or at least take your blood and see if the numbers double or drop. I would call your doc immediately and do an ultrasound followed by a blood drawn and then another blood draw 48hrs later.

I hope I am not scaring you either, but I am definitely trying to give an honest opinion and on the flip side everything might just be fine! I know that when I was preg with my first everytime my period came around or I should say should've came around cuz I was preg I actually would have light light cramps for a couple days. Also I have a friend that bled all the way through her pregnancy during the time when she should've had a period and the baby was fine.  So this doesn't just mean your having a m/c and please don't give up hope! I would just call your doc and get it then you will know a lot more! Good luck!

Cramping is a normal pregnancy symptom. If it is painful and you have pain on one side then you would need to have a sonogram to make sure you're not have a tubal pregnancy.

Anytime you have bleeding you should report it to your OBGYN. Do you have a doctor? Bleeding doesn't necessarily mean miscarriage. I would get to the bottom of it as soon as you can so you can put your mind at ease.
