Getting a bit worried...
avatar
jenasci posted:
I found out last week that I am pregnant. That's not my worry. My worry is that I've been bleeding the entire time. Sometimes a bit of bright red, but at other times it's almost nothing. I've had a few times where I had a cramp, but it lasted only a minute or two. The bleeding isn't heavy or severe, but this is my first pregnancy and I'm just a bit worried. My husband, who has dealt with miscarriages with his first wife, isn't worried due to my lack of pain and amount of bleeding. I don't go for my first doctor's appointment for another 2 weeks and I'm just looking for a little peice of mind that something isn't wrong. I'm going for blood work this week to find out my numbers and I'm hoping that it will make me feel a little better, but I guess we'll see how it goes. Should I be worried about a miscarriage or something? I'm trying to stay calm, but I'm a worried by nature so this is driving me crazy! Help!!!
