Scared.. confused... brown discharge

I am 32 with two beautiful boys, 15 and 11.. My partner and I have been trying for a year now, and in May I miscarried, the fetal pole didnt progress passed 7.5 weeks.. Now I found out that I am pregnant again, and today I should be 7wks 3days, yesterday I started to have a brown discharge when i wipe, I had some discomfort, but nothing that would even compare to a period cramp or worse, more like a sensative belly.. I told the doctor I wanted to stay in bed instead of running to get yet another ultrasound, I have one already scheduled for Monday, so I would wait and  just stay in bed.  I am so scared, I did everything right and am only hopping that this will all work out, but I dont want to get my hopes up and would rather just except defeat, has anyone out there had such a problem? How long did the discharge last? what do they consider tissue? This all started after I had to poop, has this happened to anyone else?

The weather out here has been hot,then cold; windy, then calm.  Basically, a lot of back & forth, and that hot/windy weather has caused a lot of problems with fires here in SoCal, and a lot of families have lost their homes. I think even folks down in San Diego are experiencing issues with fires. So sad!  But I only like that crisp cold, not that freezing-your-buns-off cold. That's good cuddle weather. Ruben (hubby), Gabriel (son) and I (Brandi) all like to hang out at home & watch movies in that kind of weather. When it's hot though, it's time to hit the outdoors, or sit in front of the fan. :)  TX to CA to PA? Where did you meet your hubby? You crack me up! Robbing the cradle? Good job. :)  
Anyway, back to work for me. I'll check in around lunch. Have a great day!

cloudy and rainy, my gush was the unpleasant brown snotty like yuck again, but it seems to be getting better, tonight my back is killing me.. How funny life is, I have been able to drink mild products now that I am pg.. usually I cant go near anything with milk!  Hahahah so you are getting up when I am leaving my messages.. How was the weather out there, I use to live in San Diego when I was younger.. It is cold here too.. Something I dont really get use to.. I was born in Texas.. Matt likes to live in a box.. He is a prison guard and a capt in the fire dept.. so I am stuck here.. This is his first baby, he is only 25, but to much like an old man.. LOL... I could ask for anything more.. Yea I robbed the cradle, but we click and have been together for years now.. Well I gotta go lay down, my back hurts and I am a bit crampy, but nothing major..

I'm in Huntington Beach, CA.  I'm at work right now in Long Beach though. :)  I'm pretty limited to water myself, other than OJ.  I can't drink milk because apparently I've developed some sort of intolerance to it. Pregnancy causes the strangest things to happen. Anyway, water is fine by me because it doesn't have any taste and doesn't offend my senses. A gush of yuck, huh?  Sounds lovely, and terribly familiar.  One thing's for sure, we're always on our toes, aren't we? I never made it to the Old Navy site yesterday, I ran out of time. But I am so anxious to see what they have. :)
What's the weather like in Scranton today?

sorry to hear this, I just saw your post myself. We are here for you and again, there was nothing you could have done.. My m/c in May was the same, they kept telling me I was a week behind what I knew I was.. and slowing the baby just stopped growing and ended at a fetal pole.. But my HCG levels went threw the ruff, but after 5 u/s nothing had happened or miracle happened.. so I had a d&e two weeks later my self, and all I ever had was a bloody wipe when I had a poop.. at tens weeks they heard no heart beat either, but they assured me that that was normal.. So sorry for you, but give it time and you will be p/g in no time at all, look at us.. three months later... so relax and let it happen, you didnt do anything wrong...

I for some reason felt so bad yesterday DAY! But around 2 I took a nap, and than took my sons gummy vitamins, and I was ready to rock and roll.. I dont know what happened but I felt like a new girl... At least till I got home anyway, LOL!  I hear what you are saying about the ginger, but I get the worst heartburn when I drink anything with ginger in it, so right now I am trying to just eat little meals, and I such a water freak, and that makes it worse, but I dont drink anything else, and I do mean nothing.... I am wearing the velor ones now and they are soooo comfy from old navy, I am going back and buying more, I would have gotten more, but I wanted to see how they fit.. I had a big gush of yuck yesterday and than it just stopped, weird.... no bloodyness, just snot looking brown stuff, but I googled it again yesterday, and founda ton of people who did it for just as long, so that made me feel better...  So I never asked, where you lived.. I am an east coast girl!  Out here in Scranton, PA... Yes like the Office on TV.. LOL!!  But honestly I dont watch it! I am a survior girl and than CSI.. it is around 10:22am right now.. Are you out of bed yet?? LOL!!

I think the next appointment will include an u/s, but not too sure.  At the very least, I'll hear the heartbeat.  Ah, music to my ears.  
Okay, I'm going to the Old Navy web-site in a bit.  I'm sure I'll find something I like. ;)  
I know what you mean abut not being able to get comfy.  Even on a new mattress, it's been hard to find the right position.  I'm always waking up and shifting, so I'm getting very little rest at night. Bummer.  But you just reminded me that I have one of those big long C-shaped pregnancy pillows in storage, so I think I'll get it out tonight.  My dad got it for me when I was pregnant with my son, and I loved it.  I highly recommend it as a matter of fact.  
That peeing issue you're having is very familiar, but what can we do?  It's very inconvenient at work, but everyone thinks it's so cute.  Whatever.  I'll show them cute.   I also found a remedy for my nausea: ginger tea.  It has done a pretty good job of keeping my stomach in balance.  It's a bit spicy and it makes me burp, but it works.
As for our upcoming visits to the dr., I'm sure all will be just fine. :)
