Please pray for us
I'm sorry. I feel like I am posting this every week. we had another spotting scare last night. More this time than ever before. We went to the ER, they ultrasounded me and everything was well. HB was 171 and it was flailing around in there, a lot. My cervix was closed, which is good. They couldn't really figure out was caused it, so they defaulted back to the hemmorhage. I go back to my OB on Monday, unless there is anymore spotting and I remain on pelvic rest.
I can't wait for this trimester to be over, I have like two more weeks. I'll be ten weeks tomorrow. This is just so stressful and trying on our family. Everytime this happens I feel like the sky is falling and staying positive is really difficult. I try to have perspective, but it's so hard to see spotting and not panic.

Just breathe. I know it does not sound easy. I spotted for the first 16 weeks and I remained a "risked miscarriage" for the first 25 weeks. It is so hard to relax and enjoy the pregnancy when you are so scared you are going to loose something you want so bad. Unfortunately there is absolutely nothing you can do to control it. Once you get to 28 weeks you can relax a little more. And then 32 weeks a little more...and then 36 weeks......At this point you can only do one day at a time. I have been there, it sucks.
I should add I do have a very happy and healthy baby girl. I will not share my delivery story with you (it was bad), but it had nothing to do with spotting early.
email me is you want to talk

I'm sorry you're so scared. ((hugs))
I know some women have spotting throughout their pregnancy and it never turns into anything bad at all, but I KNOW it must be so scary to see.
Just keep talking to your baby and encouraging him/her to nestle in and get stronger. Glad to hear the u/s showed everything was just fine.
Hang in there...
You and my sister are pregnancy twins. She had the same thing almost her whole first trimester. Just be glad you hadn't intended to run during your pregnancy (well maybe you did...but she was a college scholarship runner, so she really intended to!).
One thing she said in email, "I thought this would be fun. This isn't fun."
Mandie,
When I was preg with my youngest Maddox, I was spotting and bleeding alot. When they did an ultrasound they could see blood pockets in my uterus. I was bleeding on and off for about 5 months or so.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers
Hi Mandie.
DH and I will add you to our prayer request list. I can imagine it is very scary for you and your family. Hang in there, have faith, and take good care of yourself.
Mandie - I have been so out of the loop that I did not know you were pregnant. Congrats. I know that you are worried, but try and remain positive. I had some spotting too, but it turned out to be nothing. I know it is scary. I freaked out, too. Stay calm - it helps you and the baby. Try and rest, too.
good luck and I will be thinking of you
