Miscarriages

I am going through exactly the same thing, I started spotting and went into the Dr. I am 9 weeks preggy, unless my dates are wrong and the baby only measured 6 weeks 1 day with no heartbeat i have to go back in on friday, i am still spotting has this happened to anyone before what was the outcome?

This is a miscarriage and abnormal pregnancy. You will need to see an OB/GYN to have a surgery to remove this abnormal pregnancy if you do not pass this tissue on your own.

The 2 blood tests are compared to see if the levels are rising. If your levels are rising you are pregnant.

I believe that is the normal time frame for a baby to start dropping. Also they can move even after they have dropped that low in your pelvis. i.e. the breech babies. My baby was 100% engaged at my 38week appointment and then she turned and at 39 weeks we delivered through a c-section.

So don't worry if you don't have any of the other signs of preterm labor you should be fine.

Yes. It take some time until the hormones catch up and go back to normal. During that time the test will still show positive and you might have pregnancy symptoms. It's a bit cruel but that's how we function.

You die.

Difficiency of vitamin c causes scurvy.

If you are bleeding heavily at any stage during your pregnancy, you need to get to hospital ASAP

Just because the doctor can't hear the baby's heartbeat does not necessarily mean that the baby is not alive. A diagnosis should not be made on that ground alone. Usually the body will deal with the baby itself, and unless you become feverish or have other symptoms of a miscarriage there is no cause for alarm. A D&C can be performed if a miscarriage occurs and is incomplete. This is a surgical operation where the uterus is scraped out under a general anesthetic and is best left until after a natural miscarriage. Ultrasounds and blood tests are better indicators of a baby's health than any method of hearing the heartbeat.

Not normally - see the doctor straight away

yes i would think so. go to the doctor to make sure though. Yes it could be a miscarriage or something else,you need to seek medical help as soon as possible.

No, the body is protecting it.

If you are concerned, an ultrasound test will confirm the emptiness of the uterus. == Yes, it is possible to have tissue left in your uterus after a miscarriage, this is called retained placenta. You really need to have a doctor confirm this, as a retained placenta could cause death, through hemorraghing or infection.

Since you had your period last week, it is most unlikely that you are pregnant. If the bleeding seems extreme to you, check in with your doctor.

"Baby Punching" is a slang term referring to the act of sexual intercourse during pregnancy. It is in reference to a man's penis supposedly punching the unborn baby repeatedly. In actuality, this is impossible, but the meaning of the term remains.

There are those who start ovulate this early so you can get pregnant.

Light red

Well it wont be too big. You will probably have a small chunk of pink tissue come out through out your pubic area.

Veins carry blood to the heart, therfore in all likelyhood that clot is on it's way to the heart and will likely cause a myocardial infarction (heart attack).

A miscarriage does not change recommendations for pap smear frequency. You go for a pap smear on the schedule recommended at your last pap smear.

Your physician and surgeon would have the information necessary to answer that question. We do not have it.

yes. it could. I wanted to go into a hot tub when I was pregnant and I was advised not to.

I do not know for certain but I have never head that. I study pregnancy quite a bit and I have personally been on several different kinds of birth control and I have never heard that. So you should be safe! Good luck!
