Hi ladies!!! I am 9 weeks pregnant in 3 days. i have been bleeding for 9 days now, when i first started bleeding my heart was in my throat. i went to docs to c midwife and she booked appointment for altra scan and i was thinking the worst but baby was fine had a healthy heartbeat.  :) 3 days later i started to bleed heavely and having cramps, like period pains. im passing small dark clots aswell. went to ANE, was waiting ages and she checked my uterus and it was closed so thats good but it could of opened up and miscarried and closed back up :s i still have sore and tender breasts. i was told i had a water infection and bactiria . so im thinking that could be the cause of pains and bleeding. i have scan tomorrow i just hope i havent miscarried... good luck to all u ladies out their who is going threw all this worrying... just think possitive,  women have been threw worse and still have baby. fingers crossed xx

I just found out that I'm pregnant,I'm 5weeks pregnant. I did my home pregnancy test on the 11th and came out positive,I had my blood tests done to confirm since it wasn't visible on the sonar. My problem now is,I started bleeding on sunday like I'm having periods until today,went to see my doctor again he took some bloods to the lab because he suspects I'm miscarrying. I did my home pregnancy test again it said I'm negative,I can't lose my baby. I feel like breaking down

Reading all your stories have answered a lot of my own questions.

I missed my December period, and in January I took a pregnancy test, it came out positive.  2 days later, I started to bleed, I thought it was just some spotting, but then it became more heavy, and the cramps started to come.  For 1 1/2 days, I fought the painful cramps and aches.  I still went on with my day, I went to work, and suffered, driving was painful, every bump felt horrible.  Then I went to the bathroom at work, feeling cramps like I needed to push, so I did, then I heard a small splash in the toilet.  That night I was still cramping but they were tolerable, and today I am still bleeding but not more pain what so ever.  I plan to take another pregnancy test and plan to go see my family doctor.  I have prepared myself to hear bad news, but I hate to tell the news to my partner and father of my 3 children.  This would be our 2 miscarriage, the last one I didn't even see my doctor because it was just to painful to come to grimpsed of it.  I want to make sure everything is ok, but I just don't want to hear that I miscarriaged again.

My heart goes out to you all.. your stories have helped me.... thank u

Hi, I'm a little confused at the moment. I'm suppose 2 b 12 weeks pregnant on Saturday and last Tuesday I had some bleeding. I had no pain, cramps or clotting. It's more period like. It slows down then picks up again. I had a scan and they said the 'pregnancy sack' is there but they can't c a baby. They wanted 2 do an internal exam coz they said they couldn't c much coz the 'lining of my womb was to thick'. I refused to have it. They took some blood and took some more two days later. This was on Friday and i haven't heard back. Has anyone had a similar experience? I just want answers so me and my husband can move on. X

Hi, my name is Vanessa i am just a little over 3 weeks pregnant. I already went into meet with my OB/GYN and it was too early to get a heartbeat. Im so afraid of having a miscarriage.  I went out with a friend and had a couple drinks before i found out and got a little tipsy and bumped into something.  I have a little bruise on the right side of my tummy, so at that point I was probably only 2 weeks and some odd days pregnant.  I am having slight cramping sore breasts and a little bit more hungry than usual.  I am also needing to pee every 15 minutes! I am severely worried about the cramping. Also when i went in for my first ultrasound there was a little bit of blood on the condom when they pulled the ultrasound out but whenever i pee, which i mentioned is quite a bit lol i don't see any blood whatsoever   Can somebody please help me with some answers or some advice I am very very very scared.
