ahhh should i go to the E.R?

[kingivan]

hello again lol, i posted a question last week about should i be worried about this pinkish stuff i see when i wipe or on a pantyliner and i was tol dont worry it sounds like old blood, between then i called the dr and the nurse tod me it was normal b/c i had my 1st dr visit that the vaginal u/s couldve irritated my cervix. i tried not to worry but now sunday april 25 2010 i made 8weeks and im still seeing the same thing except it seems like the pinkish color is a little darker so its like a light red. it goes from a light pinkish to a light red. even though i saw the baby and the heart beat im still a little nervou sthat maybe i could be having or will suffer a miscarriage. since it is the weekend and i dnt see my dr for another 3weeks im considering going to the emergency room just to be on the safe side....  i really dnt have a question but i woul love to read some of your guys feedback epecially if your experienced this before. thanks

Hi
Have they done any ultrasounds, when they said that their was no more activity.  I only say that because with my son we didn't hear his heartbeat will I was about 4 and a half months pregnant.  He turned out fine he was just hiding.

I know miscarriage is a scary thing to go through.  That was my first miscarriage and it was very traumatic.  My son was about the size of my finger and I could see everything from his hands, feet to his nose and mouth.  I only miscarried on April 13th so it is still very fresh and new but I am slowly getting there.  At first I was angry and then I was confused.  I have a counsillor calling which has really helped.

If I could have done it again I am pleased that the miscarriage happened on it's own.  My son passed between 10 and 11 weeks based on measurements and I carried him till I was 14 weeks pregnant.  I had no idea I was going to have a miscarriage until it all happened but I wouldn't have it any other way.  I guess all I'm saying is do what's best for you and if you ever need to talk you can always message me.

I found strength in knowing that my husband and I  can always try again and that my son tried to make but just couldn't get pass that last hurdle.  That makes it a lot easier.

To rccresswell, thank you for comment. I went to the ob the same day I went to the E.R and he said he wasnt going to do an ultrasound b/c nothing was changed from the few hours when I was at the e.r. So he just gave me 3 options 1,come back in a week and do another ultrasound and see what it looks like. 2, have a dnc, and 3, let nature take its course and wait for it to pass on its own.. I felt like option 1 was stupid b/c if there was no heartbeat was it going to come back in a weeks time? No so that shouldn't have even been a choice.. I keep hearing a miscarriage is spontaneous yea can't do anything about it but I felt my dr didn't do enough on my 1st visit anyway. This is my 1st miscarriage so I'm not taking extremely well but I'm getting better.. Miscarriages should be considered emergencies b/c if u can stop the bleeding or be put on bed rest than u can do something abt it.. I just dont get it.

Hi
I'm sorry about what you are going through and I really hope it works out for the best.  I just miscarried at 14 weeks.  I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks and 4 days and my son was fine.  When I was exactly 14 weeks on the monday I had some pink discharge, like when I wiped and on a panty liner.  That day I had brown discharge and the next day it was just spotting and went to red blood.  The Tuesday night I miscarried my son.

When I got to hospital they said that if a miscarriage is going to happen there is nothing we can do to stop it.  They basically said there is a 4 hour wait and if you want to wait you can, it's your choice.  An hour after waiting it went from spotting to gushing and I was waking backward and forward to the toilet in a full waiting room changing 6 pads in an hour.  After an hour of feeling humiliated and like utter **** they finally put me in an emergency ward and I passed my son about 2 hours later.

Basically all I am saying is to rest, rest, rest.  If a miscarriage is going to happen there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.  If you feel uneasy go to the doctor but even then they can't rush an ultrasound. I went to a gp the next day because my cramping was getting really painful and he said you can go to hospital but they are just going to make you sit there for hours and hours.  From my experience they view miscarriage as just a miscarriage not an EMERGENCY and it's crap because it the loss of your child

Well I went to the E.R and the dr said there was no cardiac activity, there was no more heartbeat. So I'm going to my ob today, but I'm glad I went!!

I wouldn't rush to the ER- there's nothing they can do and you'll end up with a huge bill for nothing. The ER should really be for emergent, life-threatening situations. Instead you could call your doctor and see if they'll see you sooner or at least schedule a sonogram (abdominal).

Sounds like you could have a hematoma or your cervix is just really sensitive. Bleeding does not always mean miscarriage. Let us know what happens!

Hi I know it's hard when u spot or bleed during pregnancy it was for me here's what happened with me.... No bleeding at all on 1st pregnancy. 2nd pregnancy I spotted about 3x turned out that sometimes after sex I bleed due to my cervix but delivered a healthy baby at 37.5 weeks. My 3rd pregnancy I spotted for a week 5-6 had an us and baby appeared fine heartbeat good unfortuately I started bleeding at 10 weeks turned out I had lost the baby at 8 weeks ended up needing a d&c. I'm now pregnant again and no spotting but still get worried. I hoe all goes well, maybe u could get a blood test to check ur hcg level. That could help to ease the worry. Good luck let me know if u need anything

[raechelrae]

ur doctor should also have an emergency line to call and you could atleast talk to a nurse try that express to them that you are VERY concerned and they will tell you what to do from there.

[ammanda]

I agree.  Any time your in doubt, go to the er just to put your mind at ease.  I have been in and out of L&D for no reason twice now, just cause i wanted to make sure... All the nurses seem to understand and they too will tell you its better to come in and make sure its nothing.. Good luck..

[MissmyAngel]

I don't think its anything to worry about if it's happened just after your u/s, as vaginal u/s's tend to irritate things. Though if you are really worried then maybe you should go to be safe. Its better to relieve your anxiety, because that can harm the baby. If you go and you get another u/s, please insist on having a regular one instead of a vaginal one.

i bled during pregnancy and went to the er and it was nothing. we think it was caused from sex.
it really depends..the er can cost you big bucks to find out it is nothing..and if it is something theres not much they can do about it right now.
if your not cramping with the bleeding you should be alright but it's really your decision.
i'll pray for you and your little bean. :)

I haven't had this experience, but if I were you I would go. Better safe than sorry...it can't hurt...I have had many other complications during my pregnancy and have taken many trips to the dr because I just wasn't sure...they always say the same thing...just come in to be safe...good luck...hope all is well..
