Popping in from April 2015 thread
Small bleeds can be perfectly normal, I had one at 10 weeks after sex and as I know I have a cervical erosion I figured it was either that or a miscarriage, and there's nothing I could do if it was a miscarriage so I just waited it out (it was the erosion). There's more blood in your body now and lots more in that area so you can bleed easier from cervix etc. I had a much bigger bleed at 20 weeks, all fine again.
If you saw the heartbeat that's good, try to relax as it'll be a very long 9 months otherwise and the worrying doesn't stop when they come out!
This might not be a popular opinion but miscarriages often occur when there's some sort of chromosomal abnormality and the baby wouldn't survive so nature does its thing. I personally found that comforting early on, I'm usually an anxious person too but everything was SO out of my control in pregnancy that I had to ease up. There was nothing I could do and whatever happened happened before 26 weeks.
I would take this time to work on your anxiety. I tried while pregnant, and ironically it was at the end of it and during the first few days that my ability to stay calm and avoid panic attacks was really tested and I had to swim or I definitely would've sank, I spent 2 weeks in hospital having a rotten time of it and managed to dodge a massive panic attack at 2 am with NO help whatsoever from a horrible midwife. I was actually told by a doctor while they were deciding on an emergency section that I was dealing with it all very well.
Best of luck, sorry for the essay.0 -

Cakes cakes I was the same, I wanted very natural birth, labour at home as long as possible, skin to skin straight after and all that, be home 2 days later...I ended up with emcs at 36+6, 2 week stay, baby in scbu for 5 days and didn't get to hold or feed him until he was 30 hours old. Totally different! But to panic would've gotten me nowhere, trying to stay calm in the 4 hours I had to wait in labour ward for section my legs were shaking constantly by themselves, it was like all panic was concentrated to there. But I survived and myself and baby have thrived! I was off pain meds and bp meds long before I was expected to be, baby was measuring as a full term baby by his 6 week check up.
Taylor if you think telling someone like parents or friends with kids or just a friendly ear will help then definitely do. I was ok keeping it to myself for a very long time because I knew a lot about pregnancy already (I LOVE reading and biology), but talking to someone with experience would definitely put your mind at ease. If you ever want to pm me work away 0 -
