I am 29 and I had one miscarriage 10 years ago as a teen.  I've been obsessing and worrying about miscarrying now.  Today, I am 9 weeks pregnant.  I have no symptoms (no morning sickness, no food aversions or cravings, no sensitivity to smell).  We heard a heartbeat at 5 weeks and 6 days, but I keep reading these stories of women who miscarry at about 8 to 10 weeks without even realizing it until their sonogram.  I have been tired lately and my breasts were very tender 2 weeks ago, but they feel fine now.  Thank you for your help.

First calm down. I understand why you are concerned. Losing a baby is very tragic. But just because it happened 10 years ago doesn't mean it is going to happen now. The symptoms you have described for yourself are normal. I didn't have sickness, cravings, sensitivity to smell with my pregnancy either. Count this as a blessing! Being tired and on/off breast tenderness is normal. Try reading "What to expect when expecting" "Girlfriends guide to pregnancy" etc... Stop obsessing about losing this baby and start enjoying him/her. I truly understand the concerns. Make an appt. with your doctor to help ease your mind. As far as having a miscarriage WITH OUT ANY symptoms I don't know about. That is a question for the professionals.

The sit ups have nothing to with the fact that you are still bleeding.  You didn't mention how long you have been bleeding but if it has been for at least a week you may want to call the doc and let his nurse know so she can ask if this is normal for you.  The miscarriage also was not caused or related to the sit ups either.  When you have a miscarriage it means there was something wrong with the baby and that is natures way of taking care of it.

hi. sorry to hear about your miscarriage and your pain. As far as I can remember, i think pain is part of the after effects of the miscarriage, but I really cannot be sure. I had a D&C after the miscarriage and I did get pain in my lower abdomen (don't remember the side it was on, though!), BUT Don't take a chance to wait for us to respond, if it continues much longer, I think u should call a doctor. If it is appendicitis then you cannot ignore it at all.

Mine has been the same, 4, maybe 5 days, and a little heavy for the first day or two, then very light. I've been the same way since I started when I was 9. I'm now 23, so as long as you are staying around the same amount of days in your cycle... i.e... every 28 or 29 days, you are perfectly normal. The cramps usually last a day or so, I normaly get back cramps and my breast hurt a week before I start. The stomach issues were probably just a considence, if it becomes a regular thing, like having the same symptoms for 3 months straight, see a family doctor. Hope that helps.  :-)

i dont know what could be wrong with you but i also had a miscarriage once.  when i fell preg the second time, i had test done and the result was that i was prone to having more miscarriages, probably like you.  i was given a vaccine for that.  i cant give you more details because i cant remember that well.  i'll find my test and get back to you if i can to tell you what your doc can probably look into.

When my Baby was seven weeks old she died, the night she died was full of amazing events This is truth.\n  \n  I has gone to my sisters to do  laundry, I left my husband and 5 children at home with him. At exactly 9:32, as I was watching tv with my sister and her husband, I began to hear a heartbeat NEXT to my left ear and it lasted about five minutes. I told my sister about it, and I thought maybe something was wrong but not for sure. Half hour later, my husband and a police officer came and got me.  I  would lay Bethie on my chest with her left ear over my heart so she could hear it beat and be soothed.\n  A couple of months later, I found out that my husband had fallen asleep, and my oldest daughters radio alarm clock had gone off and woke him up. he went upstairs told her to turn it off and she couldn't remember how to, so she unplugged it. He went back downstairs and fell asleep again, the same clock went off again, he went upstairs again, Heather did everything she could think of to turn it off, but she couldn't do it, and it was already unplugged, no there were no batteries in this radio, when my husband went downstairs, he found Bethie. If the clock had not gone off again, I would have probably been the one to find her. I am so glad I didn't have to find her.

Don't feel unworthy! You're not!!!! Your miscarriage wasn't your fault and there was probably a very good reason why it happened that was beyond your control. Nature will always do the best thing for you and your baby! Don't blame yourself for something you could never control, even if you knewit was going to happen. As for your partner's ex, she can't stop him from seeing his child and the courts will put that right. More importantly, she brioke into your house and assaulted you! I hope you had her arrested! You are the priority here and you need to deal with the loss of your baby, either with your partner or a professional councellor. Don't leave it go until it becomes a real problem for you!!! Good luck with it all!!

if possile continue taking your prenatal pills to help you w/ energy(+ sleep), Ive heard some say that it took 9mo to come to term so it can take up to 9mo for you to feel completly like your old self.  Your body has changed so you may not want to stick to the same things that you did before, this is the time to be advenurous w/ your man. after having my daugher 6mo ago I no don't like kissing or haveng my breast touched as much as before.

I am scared for the person who answered your question "i've been bulimic for years" - dont ever be cheery about having a disease - get yourself help because otherwise you will never be able to properly nourish a child while in the womb - you will probably freak out and become suicidal when you see your belly start to swell and arent well enough to be responsible for another life.

You should make an appointment with your gynecologist.\nIt could have been just some extra skin coming off. A miscarriage would accompany heavier than normal bleeding and some cramping.

Because you're NOT a robot or a machine that performs the same act over and over again without varying.  Of course you can feel different symptoms, even every day.   It all depends on what you ate or did.  If you worry about being pregnant AFTER THE FACT OF HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX, now you can't use the excuse of being a victim, since you chose to put yourself in that position.  Next time, use your brain instead of your sexual organs.  Be smarter.  Don't be a volunteer to problems you can avoid...

I was only on Prevacid for a short time frome (about 3 months), but I missed mine 2 out of the 3 months.  I would call the doctor though and see what they have to say.  You may also want to take a pregnancy test if there is any chance at all you may be missing it for that reason.  In that case they may put you on another med in its place (rantidine is what they put me on while I was pregnant).  Don't lose any sleep over it, but still call and have it checked out to put your mind at ease.  Good luck and take care!

dont worry... your body is still probably changing\n\nif you lost weight or have been exercising lately... that can be a reason\n\njust be glad its light and not all gross\n\nits just that your body is still taking time to get used to producing the blood and nutrients to have a baby... that it doesnt produce enough yet\n\nso dont have a baby yet\n\nuntil its regular and good\n\n... you can go to webmd's if you are really scared but i dont think its anything serious\n\nif its skipping... its probably bc your underweight or you have some kind of cancer but if its just light... consider yourself lucky\n\n=D

I was recently diagnosed as well.  I would only take medication that my doctor gave me.  Please be careful about what you take.  If you are trying to concieve, taking something dangerous will increase your risks of pregnancy loss, birth defects, etc.  Talk to your doctor about any questions you might have.  It is very important that you stay in close contact with him/her.  \nThe lost feeling does get better.  There  will be times when it hurts so bad you can't stand it, and then there will be times that you're okay.  Eventually, you have more good days than bad.  \n\nGood luck.

You should really go see a doctor or go to the er because it sounds like you might of had a miscarriage.

there is nothing wrong here because thats what has happened to me a couple of times, it lasted for about 2 weeks perhaps a little less like 12 days, and it is a long time and i got a little worried about it. But it did stop, and when it did i was soooo relieved. My mum had no idea what was going on either, and I really didn't want to go to the doctors. And you know what else happened to me that got me worried all over again, well i missed my period for 3 whole months!! can you believe it, and i still avoided seeing a doctor, but after those three months had gone by, I got my period again and it was all back to normal, I just think that my body was going through a phase, which has never happened since, so i'm relieved about that. Just wait a little while longer and all should be back to normal very soon, but if not then I suggest seeing a doctor. =)

You *cannot* get a positive pregnancy test more than a few days before your period would have started because ovulation is about 2 weeks before your period, and it takes a week for the fertilized egg to get to the uterus to start to implant.  Before implantation, it is not attached to your body in any way, so it can't cause *any* physical changes in your body.\n\nBut independent studies have shown that most pregnancy tests are only highly accurate a full week after the first day of your missed period.  If you want to know as soon as possible and don't mind spending the extra money, do it a week after you think you got pregnant (which could be up to 5 days after you had the sex that *led* to the pregnancy).  This also means that if you have a really early miscarriage, you'll know about it instead of thinking you had a late period.
