4 weeks pregnant and some bleeding and cramping!

[Guest guest]

Hi Ladies,

My name is ' and I had gastric bypass 5 months ago and have

lost a total of 152 lbs. Well low and behold now we find out that we

are 4 weeks pregnant. But last night I started spotting some brown

stuff and today it has turned to a pale red color. It's not a bright

red and it's not a whole lot of blood. The only time I see it is on

toliet paper when I got to the bathroom. These cramps feel like

menstrual cramps. I called the doctor that was on call and he said I

would have to wait until Monday to see my doctor and to take it

easy. I'm scared that we are going to lose this baby. I just don't

know if I can handle losing this baby. Why would God give us a

miracle and then take it away from us. I'm very scared. Any advice

from anyone or help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

' son

-Hi ,

No we didn't have any sex. We had done a lot of walking that day and

I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. I'm just on

pins and needles waiting for tomorrow so I can call my doctor. I

will keep ya'll up to date on this situation. Thank you for all of

the support and thoughts!

Sincerely,

' son

spot throughout their entire pregnancy. and my OB also told me that

around the time when i would normally get my period, i may get

cramps and feel as if i am getting my period, even though i probably

won't get it. also, did you have sex right before this as that can

cause spotting and cramps. just a little info, i hope everything is

alright and my thoughts are with you.

,

My suggestion is to see your doctor today ASAP!!! I lost my baby

at 5 months gestation and my bleeding started just as you described.

I too thought that it was probably normal and was afraid that I would

annoy my doctors by contacting them about it. The bleeding (though

periodic) went on for about a week. When I did finally call the

doctor, they ordered an ultrasound for the next day. At the

ultrasound, there was no movement and I knew. My body had already

started going into labor that morning. I am still healing. I takes

a long time. But I did learn, that when it involves your body or

your family's health, you can't be too careful. I do NOT mean to

scare you. I was very uncertain myself, but oh, how I wish I had doe

something sooner.

I am praying for your safe pregnancy. Please update us to what

happens.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers and I will also keep you in

my prayers also. As for me it doesn't look to good. My HCG level was

only 40 Friday and the doctor is worried about that. If they have

not gone up today (I get the results tomorrow morning) then the

pregnancy isn't viable and I have lost the baby. I'm pretty down and

out right now and feeling so alone. I have the best husband in the

world but he doesn't know what I'm feeling.

Oh well, I wish you all the luck in the world and good luck with the

doctor's appointment. I will keep you in my prayers.
