I don't know that I can give any advice on how to get through the wait, because I am an obsessive worrier and not worrying is just not possible for me. Your doctor is right though - there is nothing you can do or not do at this point. <br /><br />If it helps, imagine all of us sitting and waiting with you, holding your hand, and infusing you with optimism.

It can be normal -- which of course doesn't make it any less terrifying.Barefoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17514231523278098569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808993482648379618.post-85877152381344823332009-06-10T08:45:45.722-04:002009-06-10T08:45:45.722-04:00So scary, I remember it well.

I had bleeding episodes two more times during my first trimester (one which lasted a week!!). Blah blah blah, first trimester bleeding happens to many women, but it is terrifying. At one point, they put me on a weekly schedule to hear the heartbeat-not for medical purposes, just so I would feel better. I am now 20w,4d pregnant and feeling much better. Hope this helps to reassure you a little.Grade Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14829925143186766680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808993482648379618.post-6601465307711412052009-06-09T20:35:25.573-04:002009-06-09T20:35:25.573-04:00I had some bright red bleeding at 13 weeks that fr...I had some bright red bleeding at 13 weeks that freaked me out. My doctor put me on bedrest for the rest of the day and to call if things got worse and to come in the AM for an ultrasound (which was a Sunday - my RE should be up for sainthood). Everything was fine and he said it was probably implantation bleeding. <br /><br />And yes the rest of the pregnancy was fine. Our twin boys were born 9 weeks early, but they are doing fine in the NICU right now and I hope they'll be home soon.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843760065614670505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808993482648379618.post-91391841294088955452009-06-09T18:14:20.757-04:002009-06-09T18:14:20.757-04:00Two things:

(Okay, not always, but if you don't feel like something's clawing up your insides, you're probably okay.)<br /><br />2. I've been told by my Very Trustable Nurses that IVF pregnancies more often involve bleeding. In fact, a couple of years ago I had a nurse tell me that she bled bright red blood through her ENTIRE pregnancy.<br /><br />And, of course, the doc is right. You can't do anything about it. <br /><br />You can do this. You've made it this far. So hang in there.the Babychaser:https://www.blogger.com/profile/12205229469287159556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808993482648379618.post-50066684920259338442009-06-09T16:22:13.172-04:002009-06-09T16:22:13.172-04:00Me bleeding.

But you have to put aside your hopes and fears and past experiences to hear that, which is really hard to do. Give it a try, and maybe you'll find some optimism (or at least a determination that this will succeed). Good luck.

I had a bit of bleeding at around 10 weeks and went through a similar thing with going to the ER - it all turned out ok for me, but it was sure awful seeing that bright red blood and waiting to hear the u/s tech say that there was a heartbeat. I'm now 19 weeks, all is well and I haven't had any other bleeding, so I'm hoping it goes the same for you.

I am so so happy that you had a good outcome. that is such GREAT news.<br /><br />I too hate it when they say that about early bleeding especially to someone who has been through a miscarriage before.<br /><br />I don't know why they even do an abdominal ultrasound when it is early on. Just get to the one that works. I feel they are just trying to milk it for all the money they can.<br /><br />I hope things continue to go and get better and better for you. You deserve it.

Now, what I want you to do is picture holding that new baby, celebrating his/her first birthday, wondering when the terrible twos will end, wondering why the threes are actually worse than the twos (and why no one but me warned you), hearing "I love you Mama", and arguing over whether s/he can borrow the car in 16 1/2 years.<br /><br />This is really not to give you false hope. It's to encourage you to see that your doctor is right: you are a bystander at this point. Soon enough, you'll be an active participant and one of two loving and lovely parents. <br /><br />You are always in my thoughts.histmedphdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13689154629192304442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808993482648379618.post-34033105272923231632009-06-08T20:46:30.894-04:002009-06-08T20:46:30.894-04:00Hang in there!
