slight to bad stomach pain and small amounts of bleeding in first trimester?

Q: two or three times i’ve woken up with really bad abdominal pain in the night, similar to a bad menstrual cramp. other times, it’s just a small little pinching pain. i also experienced a small amount of bleeding, and now what looks like discharge but a gross brownish color. I am about two months pregnant, maybe slightly less. i have a doctor appt. Friday to find out, but do you think this is a sign of miscarriage? oh no 🙁

A: honestly, I’m not sure. I would’ve called the doc & went in today if i were you. But during pregnancy some women do bleed lightly here & there so it COULD be normal. I would get it checked out b4 Friday though.

If there is a problem with the fetus, like an ectopic pregnancy or a soon-to-be miscarriage, will it show up?

Q: I look incredibly pregnant and have had various signs of pregnancy, including the biggest one, missing periods and light spotting randomly. I haven’t had a steady period in months, and I’ve had steady periods since the age of nine. Also, I have a round and large bump in my stomach, something I’ve never had. I’ve had extreme lower abdominal pain, and soreness in my ribs. I’m also on birth control and have, in the past, taken a Plan B (morning after) pill.I have taken two pregnancy tests, one in the middle of the day, and one when I first woke up. They are Clear Blue Easy Digital tests (the ones that say pregnant and not pregnant), and they both came out as “Not Pregnant”. If there is a problem with the fetus would it show up on a home pregnancy test? I am going to a free clinic with my boyfriend on Friday to get an accurate pregnancy test. What kind of pregnancy test should I get and what questions should I ask?Thank you for all your help, I really appreciate this.

A: It depends how far along you are and how strong the pregnancy hormone (hcg) is. I would recommend a blood test because it will show even a slight amount of hcg. If something is happening ie. miscarriage they can tell by how much hcg is in your blood. Some people never show positive on a urine test. I got an extremely faint line 2 days after I miscarried. Good luck!

First pregnancy and SCARED!!!?

Q: I’m currently 4 1/2 weeks pregnant. I met with a nurse today and she went over what to expect throughout the next nine months. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks back in 2006. the fetus was only 6 weeks though. I’m just a little concerned as to why my doctor doesn’t want to see me until 10 weeks along?! I had no signs or symptoms of a miscarriage besides the actual miscarriage itself. I bled a week or two AFTER my dr. found out there was no heartbeat at 8 weeks. The fetus has died at 6 weeks and I didn’t even KNOW until 8!!! I would just like to get my levels checked and and ultrasound sooner than 10 weeks!!

A: I understand; I’ve had three miscarriages and they are indescribable to experience. You want to be proactive… I’m sure that you feel that you would feel much better seeing a healthy heartbeat, etc. earlier if you could, and all of that makes sense. Unfortunately, it’s pretty standard for doctor’s offices to wait until 10 weeks for your first prenatal appointment. I hate to even say this, but really, it’s because miscarriages are so much more common than most people know, and the majority of them occur before 10-12 weeks. Can you imagine how devestated someone might be if they received an ultrasound at around 6 weeks, and had a miscarriage after that? I think they do it that way to get past the most “crucial” period of pregnancy when miscarriages are most likely to occur. I am so sorry for your previous loss, and for the anxiety I am sure you are feeling now. There really isn’t much you can do… other than try and stay positive and take it day by day. If it makes you feel any better, I have lost three, but am also currently 26 weeks with my third baby… so don’t be discouraged. I wish you the very, very best. Good luck and take care of yourself!
