spotting again and scared

[whirlygirl734]

Well, I am spotting once again at 10/11 weeks.  Still no real cramping, maybe a little bit here or there.    A little bit of lower back pain but that could be from sitting at the computer.    It seems to be more this time, and sometimes it's that brownish/pink color and sometimes it just a light pink.  No red yet.   I called my doctors office and they told me I can either stay home and watch it, or go the ER.  They said some woman go to the ER, some wait.  I have an appointment with my obgyn on Wednesday, so I am trying to wait it out.   I am alone during the day while my husband is at work, and I am so afraid of having a mc alone and being scared.   I am really starting to think I am going to miscarry, it's just a feeling I got and it's causing me to have anxiety.   I wish my ob could just see me today instead of going to the ER.  I think that will be a bit expensive, and my insurance isn't the greatest.   I guess I am just stuck here alone and waiting.  Any words of encouragement?  :(

I hope too that things turn out well, whirly.  Since you're hardly spotting, if it were me, I probably would just wait until Wednesday but if you're really stressing as I'm sure you are, see if the ER can do a u/s although it's not like you can just go get one w/out going through all of the red tape.

The other thing I can suggest is go to L&D - they could send you back to the ER but maybe they'll do a quick u/s on you.  I'd call and check it out.

Every time I spot it scares me to death as well.  The feeling you are having that you are going to miscarry is fear, it doesn't mean anything else.  If it is really worrying you, I would go the hospital for an ultrasound.  Peace of mind is worth so much.  Chances are it's nothing to worry about, but it never hurts to have it checked.  Best of luck to you.

Sorry that this is scary time on all accounts. If anything gets more pronounced I would call the doc again. Maybe another call will help them squeeze you in? Can you really not go to the ER and put this behind you? Good luck.
