Heavy bleeding but did not miscarry

[Kari001]

Has anyone done this? I was 9 weeks preg on saturday, and I have felt fine. Anyways I was over at my sisters house next door, just finished watching a movie, stood up to come home, and blood just gushed out of me. Just like I was on a normal perood. My sister and I were freaking out. But I walked home, took a bath to clean myself up and went to bed. I was literally afraid to move! I never passed a bloodclot that I'm aware of. I did see 2 very small clots after I wiped, but other than that, nothing. But the blood was bright red. Anyways, went to hospital the next day. Doctor did an internal exam, and said I had stopped bleeding...there was only old blood visible. Had blood work taken. Hcg levels were at 70,973. He said that was good but even if the baby had already died the levels still could be up like that. Went for an ultrasound today. I was expecting the worst. Thought the baby had died but that I just had not passed it yet. But to my surprise, he/she was still in there. Moving around with a strong heartbeat!! I couldnt believe it. I still have to go go back tomorrow for more bloodwork to be done. Wanna see if the Hcg levels have doubled. Does anyone know what could have happened??? My ovaries also looked fine. I do not not know what to think. Im so afraid Im going to miscarry. =(

Yes, I have I am going through a miscarrige right now. I am so upset about this. I am not getting a D and C because its so early. I found out the news yesterday at the doc when my HCG levels started dropping.
How are you now? Whats your status? I am here if you need to talk.

I am grasping at some hope from some of these comments. I am 7 weeks 4days pregnant and had small amount of bleeding over a  week ago, it then settled but has returned again -fresh bleeding with cramps. I have miscarried the last three times and I am heartbroken that it is going to happen again. I had an internal scan last time I bled, where they could see a sac but not a heart beat as yet. I go back on Friday for another if I have not miscarried by then. I am stressed beyond belief and my stomach is doing backflips. I know I need to calm down but I am finding it very difficult. Everyone keeps telling me not worry, that this can happen, but I have not been that lucky the last 3 times. I'd love to be able to speak to someone who has been in similar circumstances. I am crying out for help!

Hi, I'm now 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant and been bleeding for a couple of days now with cramping on the lower part of my abdomen. I've also miscarried before. I rely on the other signs my body give me to keep sane. For instance: am I still exhausted? Yes.  my breasts still ache? yes. Still feeling nauseous? yes. So I'm thinking jelly bean is doing OK. I hope this helps.

I know all about the waiting, its the worst part. How much are you bleeding? How bad are the Cramps?

[Hopefulmum]

Thanks for answering. My cramps are like my usual monthly cramps. I am bleeding fresh blood intermittently, but not enough to stain through a pad. Mainly when I am wiping myself. I feel a heaviness in my lower abdomen. Unfortunately this is how  2 of my previous miscarriages started. I am so weepy and crying all the time. I feel so anxious and don't want to go out the house. I am scared my anxiety is going to make things worse. How about you ? What's your circumstances?

[Joanna323]

When do you go to the doctor?

I just had a miscarriage, and I DONT want to go back to work thursday, and I HATE going out of the house. Its only because I am sad, and I know this will pass.

I dont know what to tell you ... because I dont know much about this. But I do know I had BAD cramps. How far along are you?

I know what you are going through. I started bleeding pretty heavy at 7weeks and thought I was having another misscarriage. I went in for an u/s and the baby was fine. My doctor found through the u/s I have a subchorionic hemmorhage, which is where the tissue between the amniotic sac and uterus bleeds. My doctor told me there was a 95% chance everything would be ok. He also told me most first trimester bleeding not resulting a miscarriage is from this, you just can't always see it. Anyways it has been 2 1/2 weeks and I have had no more bleeding. I go in for another u/s next week but everything seems to be ok so far. Good luck!
