Does this sound like a m/c?

I had some spotting yesterday, some brownish and some bright pink/red, also a small clot. Not a lot of spotting, but enough to need a pantiliner. No cramping or anything though.

 

Plus, I don't feel pg anymore. Before I found out I was pg, I got really excited about the possibility and I think that was the hormones (this baby was unplanned). I really really really wanted this baby.

About a week ago (maybe less), out of nowhere, I started being ok with the idea of a m/c.

 

I have a dating u/s scheduled for Friday.

 

Does this sound like a m/c? or like I'm being paranoid?

I think generally they say anytime you have red spotting or bleeding to get checked out. I've had brown off and on, and I'm scared that one of these times I'm going to see red instead. I would maybe see about moving the ultrasound up if you're worried. It could definately be nothing, but red is generally a bit more worrying than something that's lighter or brown. I would take the lack of crmaping as a good sign though.

So they m/w called back. I guess that only about 30% of women with bleeding in the first tri actually have a m/c. That's lower than I thought. She said she didn't think they'd be able to get an earlier m/w appt, so we'll just wait for the Friday appt. I have to go in tomorrow for rhogam. But otherwise, there's not actually anything that can be done to prevent a m/c anyways, so I'm ok waiting until Friday (unless I start cramping or bleeding heavily, of course).

 

One good thing is that dp realized that he'd be a little bit sad if it is a m/c.

I got my rhogam today.

I feel a little bit...off, I guess. I feel like I do when af starts. But the sickies are making their way around our house, so it could be that. I'm a bit sad today though. I wasn't before, I was just kinda "whatever will be, will be."

 

At least my u/s is tomorrow, so I don't have to wait too much longer for an answer. I'll be really surprised if the baby is still ok, but I'm not known for my amazing intuition. lol.

 

I have a mno tomorrow night winky.gif so that should help get my mind off of it, if it is a m/c.
