Second pregnancy worries trigger warning potential miscarriage

Hi mammas, i recently found out i was pregnant at 5 weeks, we were trying so very excited. I just passed 7 weeks ok Wednesday, but Tuesday night after sex i had some pinkish blood when i wiped. Thats continued on and off from brownish discharge to pinkish blood most of the week, only when i wipe and not in the tpilet or underwear. I have taken weeks indicator tests and 5 weeks and 7 weeks and the weeks have gone up but aside from extreme exhaustion amd some cramping i have no other pregnancy symptoms (but didnt at this point with my first) im seeing my fam dr on Monday but can't talk to any fam or friends as my husband and i decided not to tell anyone yet as my brother gets married tmrw and we didnt want any distractions from his big day. Ive never had a miscarriage so i dont know what it feels like but the pink/brown discharge is scaring me and i really just wanted to hear other experiences since i dont have many ppl to talk to right now. Thankyou for reading this far ❤️

Hi honey I know you must be scared right now but the best advice I can give you is wait to see a medical professional or go to emergency as miscarriage is different for every woman. When I went through my miscarriage I had painful lower abdomen cramping and constant heavy bleeding and passing of tissue and the blood was red. With my second pregnancy (went to term and my daughter is healthy and happy) I ended up bleeding around the 8 mark week but it was light and very little cramping and pink in color but I still went to emergency to get an ultrasound, thankfully she was fine. I hope this helps

Adriana, it really is a hard and frightening situation. I'm sorry to hear you are going through it. My experience and suggestions are basically the same as Luna's. Getting the expert medical assessment (or the super difficult "waiting") were the only things I could do either - one time it was a miscarriage and one time it was nothing and the pregnancy was healthy. I'll be sending you all the strong and healthy thoughts. And I also commend you on letting your brother have his celebration, but if you do have someone who would be a comfort to you, consider sharing with them as soon as you feel able as I know the in-person support means a lot!

I hope that you’re doing okay!!

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
