I feel your pain in the last year I have had two miscarriages, first one at 18 weeks and the second one at 21 weeks, I am currently 8 weeks pregnant . If there is one thing I have learnt from those two miscarriages is to go with my gut feeling, if I don't feel like something is right go to doctor even if it just turns out you are over reacting it's better to be safe than sorry. In saying that with my first one I had been in and out of hospital for four weeks mowing something wasn't right but doctors couldn't find anything wrong so kept sending me home, what I am trying to say is you know what's right for you, if you know your not going to rest properly until you know your baby is ok then go get it checked, even if it turns out to be nothing you will have put your mind at ease

Light spotting is normal. If you're bleeding heavily ( going through a big pad an hour) then that is abnormal and you should see a doctor. Especially if your heavy bleeding is accompanied by cramping. More than likely though everything will be just fine! If you ever have any doubts it never hurts to get it checked out at the er got peace of mind. You could also buy a fetal heart monitor if youd like havevthe peace of mind of hesring your baby's heart beat whenever yout want. Theyte fairy inexpensive.. but keep in mind those won't work for you for another few weeks. And do your research and get a good one because some silk not detect heart beats until 20 weeks.

Stay positive. Yes it is true that 1 and 8 pregnancies end in miscarriage... however keep in mind that statistically speaking the odds are in your favor because most women will only experience one miscarriage in their lives. After you hit 10 weeks the odds of you losing the baby drop drastically. And again drop after 12 weeks. And you're almost there already. I've been in your shoes so I know telling you not to worry probably wouldn't help. Hopefully knowing that the odds are more than in your favor will help! Good luck!

Just try to relax. I know how hard it is! I miscarried our first at 11 weeks. I am currently 33 weeks with our third and the worry from that first miscarriage has been with me all three since. Try not to worry to much though since it will stress you out which is not good for baby. Good luck!
