HI Rianna I had bright red bleeding at 8 wks like dripping blood TMI sorry but got rushed to have a scan and everything was fine. I just had my 12wk scan on Monday and my bub is doing really well and normal!
I have had a MC before too so it completely freaked me out.

All the best for your pg! I'm sure you will be fine, my MW said after seeing a heart beat the chance of MC was 5% ]]> Sat, 10 Jan 2009 12:11:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23530&PID=583262&title=heartbeat-at-5w5d#583262 <![CDATA[Heartbeat at 5w5d : Hehe I had boy feelings for you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23530&PID=582334&title=heartbeat-at-5w5d#582334 Author: rachelsea

Yep it scared the cr*p out of me, I can tell you! Totally not what you want to see when you're pg...esp when yo've had m/c's before!  I still wonder if it was related to my last m/c actually. Kind of my body 'clearing' out the old stuff? (sorry tmi ). It was very scary and disconcerting anyway so I do hope you don't have to go through that. Or the really bad vomiting every day morning sickness either!  The 2 combined wre great. NOT lol

And yes.....I think definately a boy for you

Hi Rianna

Congrats! That's awesome news hun. I've obviously missed your BFP post.

I had my first scan at 7 weeks, my OB said that once heartbeat is seen risk of mc goes down to 5%; after 10 weeks its 3%. ]]> Thu, 08 Jan 2009 08:29:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23530&PID=581264&title=heartbeat-at-5w5d#581264 <![CDATA[Heartbeat at 5w5d : Thanks ladies.

Good luck Rianna. I had the same thing with this pregnancy. Started spotting at 5.6w so had a scan and they could see a heartbeat. Didn't relax though until I had another scan at 8 weeks and once I knew the heartbeat was good and strong (and there were two of them) that I started to relax.]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:29:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23530&PID=580920&title=heartbeat-at-5w5d#580920 <![CDATA[Heartbeat at 5w5d : Hey Rianna , I&#039;ve also heard...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23530&PID=580430&title=heartbeat-at-5w5d#580430 Author: Emmecat

Hey Rianna , I've also heard the same that once you get a heartbeat, the risk for m/c drops enormously, so yay for you hun!  I'm not sure what the range is- my little girls heart was beating away at bout 167bpm at about 7 weeks....but I have heard an old wives tale that girls have faster heartbeats so maybe you have a little boy brewing in there.....

The spotting thing is scary as hell....I had intermittent brown spotting (and sometimes quite 'stringy' sorry tmi ) from about your stage right through to about 9.5 weeks.  It was horrible. I was so sure this pg was gonna end in mc too, but I never cramped and spotted at the same time...just the brown discarge stuff seemed to keep coming, esp after I went for a walk or had been working. The reason is still unlcear but it did get me 2 early scans, which were reasurring!  It just suddenly stopped at about 9.5-10 weeks (funnily enough after BD one night lol ), so I wonder if it was just old blood or something coming out as my womb grew?

I'm sure it will all be fine for you this time hun. Already gettin' those boy vibes from ya!

Yup the miscarriage rate goes way down once you've seen that wee heart beating away
When I had my first scan with this pregnancy, at 7 weeks, the doc said "the chance of miscarriage is bugger all now" and then said "about 1 in 300 or 400" so definitely hope for the best!

Hey chicky, first of all congrats, must have missed that one! So glad you got a good pressie for Christmas!

I was told at my 7 week scan that once a heartbeat has been seen, the risk of m/c is between 2-3% so very, very low. Sorry don't know about the heartbeat, I've never really bothered with them as they can range quite a bit for a healthy bub.]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:10:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23530&PID=580154&title=heartbeat-at-5w5d#580154 <![CDATA[Heartbeat at 5w5d : Thanks ladies for your reassuarance....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23530&PID=580144&title=heartbeat-at-5w5d#580144 Author: WestiesGirl

Thanks ladies for your reassuarance. Thats good to know that its really low

I still have spotting, only very very light though so I will just monitor and ask for another scan in a few weeks. ]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:05:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23530&PID=580144&title=heartbeat-at-5w5d#580144 <![CDATA[Heartbeat at 5w5d : Oh Rianna, how scary and how awesome!!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23530&PID=580064&title=heartbeat-at-5w5d#580064 Author: lovingmummyhood

Oh Rianna, how scary and how awesome!! When we saw our heartbeat for the first time (at the fertility clinic) the doctor said that meant there was about a 96% likelihood of a positive outcome.

Seeing the heartbeat probably depends a lot more on the placing of the baby/placenta than on the age... it's usually around 7 weeks I think but if your one shows a week early, no worries!!

Oh Rianna, that would have been an awful feeling, so glad its still healthy! And wow, I wouldn't have thought you'd get a heartbeat so early!
I can't remember what my bubs' heartbeat was at the dating scan (I think I was 7 weeks? Damn preggy brain!), but I'm sure yours is fine, otherwise surely they'd say something? And I think I do remember reading something early on about a reduced risk of miscarriage once you've heard a heartbeat.
Fingers crossed that this one stays sticky! ]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:03:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23530&PID=580027&title=heartbeat-at-5w5d#580027 <![CDATA[Heartbeat at 5w5d : Yay Rianna.

I thought once a heartbeat is seen, the chance for m/c goes down to about 5% or something??? I remember reading it on here somewhere...

Ok so today I noticed spotting and of course went into panic station mode . With having the MC in July I immediately started crying and thought the worse!! Thankfully I have a fantastic Dr and he rang the scan place and managed to get me in to be seen .

Anyways, at the moment all is OK . Baby's heartbeat was just seen and beating at 94bpm . Which I was totally not expecting to be able to see.
The sonographer (sp?) also told us the sac was measuring at 5w4d (a day behind my LMP) but the fetus was measuring at 5w6d (a day ahead my LMP). Now I know there is room for +/-4 days, so Im not too concerned about that but what I want to know is, is Baby's Heartbeat in a normal range?? And also, does any know what the chances of MC is after seeing a heartbeat??

Thanks in advance ladies ]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:50:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23530&PID=579999&title=heartbeat-at-5w5d#579999
