Am I going to miscarry or what??

Hi all

I'm hoping someone will be able to help me, I'm shocked and confused..

I miscarried December 2010 and got pregnant again straight away before I even got a period, I did my first pregnancy test Feb 2 it was Positive, Feb 3 I started bleeding. I figured I'm miscarrying again and knowing there is nothing that can be done I didn't go to a doctor and waited for it to happen naturally at home.

as the weeks went by I kept randomly bleeding and kept testing and kept getting positive! Getting pretty fed up with the bleeding and the money I'm wasting on pregnancy tests, I rang my midwife on Monday and she sent me for a scan and it turns out I'm 11 weeks pregnant and bubs is fine!!?

But, I'm still bleeding, whats up with that? It gets worse every 3 - 4 weeks, like a really light period for 3 or 4 days, then in between its just random spotting some mornings... am I going to miscarry or what?

I was in total shock at the scan and didn't ask anything and I don't see my midwife till next Thursday

Very sorry for the huge novel but thanks for taking the time to read it

Some women do experience bleeding when their period would be due... I wonder if you might be one? I can't imagine it being nice with the bleeding though! All the best!

I had fully expected her to tell me that baby died weeks ago and I was prepared for that, then the bleeding would make sense.

but she tells me the baby is fine? Now I'm freaking out about the bleeding and I hate our toilet with a passion

I kinda wish I hadn't found out, the worrying is awful.

I don't have any cramps, but I didn't get any cramps until 3 weeks after the baby died with my first miscarriage so that's not comforting to me

I'm amazed it's survived 11 weeks, I've done NOTHING right, I been eating all the wrong things, not taking vitamins and drinking beer (only 1 or 2 cans cause it just tastes awful now, baby knows what it doesn't want I guess). In my defence though I honestly thought it had already died.

My first pregnancy I did everything right and it died at 6 weeks 4 days

If this one does stick I imagine it's going to be a stubborn, strong willed little bugger

Hugs!! I can't imagine it's easy.

You could be like one of those ladies you read about in the magazines who go through pregnancy without realise they're pregnant until stomach pains turn into labour pains. They don't realise cause they bleed every month when their AF is usually due.

so I'm still bleeding.

go for NT scan tomorrow, will be 13 weeks 3 days.

I bought a doppler yesterday and babys heartbeat is between 162 - 170. (I may have a new obsession)

Midwife said the first scan at 11 weeks was perfectly normal and no free fluids or any reason for the bleeding and they wont even look into it until 18 weeks. so if I'm still bleeding then I get sent to a specialist.

It's hard to get excited about it and also very hard NOT to after hearing the heartbeat.

grr

GL!

Great news Blueberries! All the best for the rest of your pregnancy

so, what I don't like is reading threads like this that never let ya know how it all worked out... well...

20 weeks, still pregnant, still bleeding EVERY DAY. no reason can be found for why I'm bleeding, guess I'm just special. midwife says with the extra blood flow I most likely have a woosie cervix (hahaha my word not hers) she called it 'sensitive' I call it a woose!

Its a boy and he's moving HEAPS, everything looks good on all scans.

So, hopefully I'll be back in another 20 weeks to say he arrived safely and It is totally possible to bleed every damn day and still have a healthy bubba

hahaha thinking about buying shares in Libra panty liners though

Thanks, so do I, I've kinda gotten attached to the wee fella

my cervix is closed and hopefully stays that way for many MANY more weeks.

I consider myself to be a bit of an expert on the subject now hahahaha and with all the research I've done I have decided it is NOT an incompetent cervix just cause I don't like the sound of that. I'm working on my pelvic floor muscles just in case I have to hold him in though (which will do absolutely nothing but better to laugh than stress I say)

My midwife growled at me today and told me to stay off the internet, it just makes me worry too much I asked her so many stupid questions I don't blame her   but hey, it's what she's there for .... naa she's lovely and we're just joking around hahahaha aaahh good times
