worried about miscarriage! 2nd pregnancy
by YoungMom130, May 02, 2008 09:23AM
I am a healthy 25 yo woman with absolutely no bad habits. I went to the doctor because of an abnormal pap. He did a scoposcopy and a biopsy, but said that my uterus was soft. He noticed that my period was late, I said that I had been cramping as though I would get it, and he sent me for bloodwork to see if I was pregnant. His office called the next day (Friday) to say that I was, my second pregnancy! My husband and I were SO excited! My first pregnancy was perfect, so I didn't even consider that this one would be anything different. Over the weekend I felt alittle off, and by Sunday morning had a fever of 101, the chills, and a stomach ache. It passed, we all thought it was just a bug. As a result of the biopsy I had a brownish discharge, which he said was normal, but on Monday night I woke to go to the bathroom and it was very heavy. I had passed a clot and a tiny piece of tissue. I was alarmed, and called the doctor in the morning. He asked me to come in, and did an ultrasound vaginally. He said that I am 5 1/2 weeks along, and that by this point a yolk sac should be visable, but we didn't see one. He looked for quite awhile and said that I needed to come back Monday for another ultrasound. He said that if there was no yolk sac, then that was it, I was miscarrying. He also guessed that I had a 55 % chance of miscarrying. I was extremely upset, my family is disappointed, and I am dreading Monday. I researched my situation and saw that I had all of the symptoms of miscarrying, but my mother insists it was a flu and that my sister has it now. I am still cramping a little from time to time, but no more discharge. I am worried, and know that all the signs point to it being over, but still hope that they tell me all will be well. Any advice?

When I miscarried I wokeup bleeding and passed alot of tissue and blood clots, but I ahve heard of people doing the same thing and not miscarrying...so its kind of a toss up...also I had a friend that bled for almost 6 months of her pregnancy and had a healthy baby boy...so you never know...but I know the waiting is horrible. Good Luck
