I have "loss" signs of pregnancy. I started looking it up online and none of them end in a good way. If anything happens this will be my 2nd miscarrige. I don't know if I can handle it. I am too scared to tell my husband what is going on with my body because I do not want to upset him. Has anyone else had this happen? Please help me figure out what is wrong.

What can I do next?

M. - You should contact your OB/midwife and go in for an appointment. I was 10 weeks pregnant when we found no heartbeat...needless to say we were devestated, I KNOW how hard it is for you, I've been there. How far along are you? Please keep me posted on how you're doing, and send me an e mail if you need to talk. Take care!

You did not say how far along that you were but you need to talk to your OB. If you have a close friend that you can talk to please do. It can only help you. I had a stillbirth (cord around neck) at 37 weeks and with my preg after that I was a emotional wreck!! I was upset about every little thing that happed or did not happen. If you need anything I am here for you!!
my e-mail is ____@____.com

You should definately contact your doctor's office. They should get you right in. I misscarried my first. I started spotting. I was given an ultrasound, and they found no heartbeat. My husband and I were completely distraught. You should tell your husband. Having to deal with something like this on your own can be too overwhelming. You'll definately need the support. When I got pregnant again I started bleeding around my 17-18 week, and I was so scared. I went right in and everything seemed normal. I was so scared that I refrained from intercourse the rest of my pregnancy. Even if it turns out you aren't loosing the baby going to your doctor will definately ease any concerns you have. Keep your head held high, and I hope you aren't experiencing another loss. My thoughts are with you. Good luck.

I am sure you don't want to upset him but, unfortunately you have to worry about you and your baby first. I am sure he will be upset, but you don't even know yet if there is something to be upset about. I also had a miscarriage and it was completely devastating, I know, but you need you husband. Let him know right away so that the two of you can decide together what to do next. You should decide quickly, though, just in case you can prevent something from happening. Please don't wait too long. Also, the extra stress is not good for you.

Best of luck to both of you!

I would suggest as others have that you contact your OB immediately. I would also recommend telling your husband sooner rather than later. I had 2 miscarriages (one in August and then antoher in October) I know what you are going through. Believe me when I tell you its better to go through something like this together.

OH Honey, you're making me cry right now. Please go see your Doctor right away. ASAP. Find out for sure before you tell your husband if you don't think he can handle it. If it was me, I would tell him and he can come with you to the Doctors, my husband would be more hurt if I didn't.

Hi M.,

I had a miscarriage my first pregnancy. It was tough but I realized that maybe it wasn't the right timing. My best friend had two miscarriages before she was finally able to get pregnant and is now in her 19th week and going well. I know it's a tough situation but you definitely should tell your husband as it's easier to go through it together than alone. What does the doctor say? Have you gone to see him/her? Depending on the symptoms...especially bleeding, that can be common within your first trimester and I've heard of bleeding throughout a whole pregnancy with the baby coming out just fine. I know it's tough but definitely try to keep your chin up. Things will work out the way they are supposed to be...things happen for a reason. Take care and hope all turns out well...

Hi M.,
My sister had 4 miscarriages before she had her daughter and then 2 more miscarriages before she had her second daughter. My oldest sister had 1 miscarriage as well. I also have numerous friends who have miscarried and all of them have since had beautiful, healthy children so please don't give up, have faith that things always work out for a reason.
If this pregnancy does not "take" this time, it is natures way of taking care. You are very young and obviously you are able to get pregnant which are both beneficial. Have you thought of speaking with a fertility specialist? This might be a bit extreme at your age but maybe they can give some insight.
Everything happens for good reason just stay focused and positive of what you want for yourself and your future and it will come to you. I wish you the best.

Hi M.- i am a firm believer in taking in everything that has to do with your body and not hesitate a SECOND to call ur OB. Thats why he's there, thats why u pay him. When i was pregnant i bled throughout about 7 months of it... and all along i saw my ob as much as i wanted or needed to to make sure my little guy was still well. It ended up being a sac of "old" blood that my bosy was dispensing.... another issue is looking up on the internet signs and symptoms.... this is a HUGE enemy of mine and im thinking urs too. DONT do that. Most of what u are reading is others input and what happened to them and any1 of us who is already worried, is going to assume, ommg thats what i have, those are my symptoms, and now thats going to happen. So please call ur OB and let him tell u his professional oppinion, and by all means tell ur husband. Im sure he would want to help u through this. Even through all my bleeding i have a healthy 11 month old son, so good luck!

Hi M.. I agree with everyone else. You need to contact your doctor ASAP. I feel for you. I also suffered a miscarriage with my first pregnancy. But since then I now have two little ones. During those pregnancies I was very in tune with my body. I had lots of bleeding. And everytime somthing felt funny to me I called my OB. I even dragged him in on a Saturday to check the baby! I'm not sure what your symptoms are but I say tell your husband so he can help support you. I don't know what I would have done if my husband wasn't there holding my hand. And also know that we are all here for you!! Please let us know what happens.

you are sweet to not want to get yor husband upset but you need his support right now. I had a rough beginning with my daughter. I had a lot of bleeding right around 6 weeks. I went to the doctor and it ended up being a tear where to placenta meets the wall of the uterus. I just had to take it easy but it finally subsided and I have a beautiful 2 year old. My friend had a period for two month and found out she was 3 1/2 months pregnant. Hopefully it is just something like this but make sure you get to a doctor incase it's more serious. I hope everythign works out for you

I agree with everyone else, contact your OB now. Also tell your husband. It will be better in the long run to tell him now. With that said, I am not sure which symptoms you are having, but with my first pregnancy I bled. A lot. It was only during my first trimester, but it was scary. One instance I was bleeding so heavy, that I was going through a pad an hour. And it ended up being fine. With my second I bled once, at 10 weeks. So definately call your OB.
