I am currently 9 weeks and 2 days pregnant. It’s my 2nd pregnancy. My first child is 5 years old and I had a normal pregnancy.
Since 2 days I m having light brown discharge. It’s only when I wipe. And I also have cramps
I went to ER and the US showed that my cervic is open 5mm. Only from inside. From outside its completey firm and closed.
Doctor said probably a miscarriage will happen.
I need some opinions, does anyone else experience this? And did it end up to a miscarriage.
Or not?
I m so stressed and spent the night crying.

My daughter did this s with her first pregnancy. At 19 weeks she had to have a cervicle cerclage, in which a stick is placed in the cervix to keep it closed, then bedrest. Does the baby have a heartbeat?

Any time you go to the er with bleeding they have to call it “threatened miscarriage”. I was there at 13 weeks with my last baby and it’s what the Dr said and what they put on my paperwork. I ended up having placenta previa and bled literally the entire pregnancy. My baby boy turns 2 in 2 weeks. Try not to stress mama. Everything should be ok

When I lost my baby I had bright red blood, not brown. I hope everything turns out okay, try not to stress out though. I would make an appointment with your regular OB and get their opinion.

I experienced this, went to the Er because I also thought I was miscarrying. Turns out I was pregnant with twins. They said it was something with the tissue causing the bleeding, but they told me not to worry about brown blood as it’s old, if it’s bright red it’s new

I would take it easy have faith and follow up with your OB because my last pregnancy went to the ER with cramps at 6 weeks pregnant they discovered a blood clot next to ths sac and the heart rate was low they told me either I’m gonna miscarry or have an abortion I followed up with my OB n heart rate was actually normal was on bed rest first trimester for the clot and by the 2nd trimester it was gone my baby was born healthy on time

Unfortunately, it’s a wait and see kind of thing. Relax as much as possible with your feet up. There really isn’t anything else you can do. Its normal to feel stressed and worried. Please throw out any " advice" if someone says if you stress out you will cause a miscarriage. F them. You can’t turn off being stressed like a light switch and this " advice" only makes you feel bad for having normal human emotions and quite frankly stresses you out more.

I’ve been bleeding since the start of this pregnancy. Baby #4. All ultrasounds and doctor apts (I’ve been going every two weeks) have came out ok so far. I’ll be 19 weeks tomorrow. No one knows why there’s blood. Was told at 7wks there is a big bleed and that was that. Doctor at ob office has never said anything like that. I have another us on the 25th which will also tell me if this child has single artery umbilical cord like my 2011 and 2019 babies did. (And the sex. Yall I got 3 girls. 12,10,2) sometimes it just happens. They told me I was gonna loose my 2019 baby. She will be 3 in January (when im due also)… I haven’t had any blood since July 28th or so… the hospital has to give you a diagnosis. Which they call it a threatened abortion/miscarriage. But you need to relax and don’t Google anything that pertains to what they told you.
My mom(RN) and other nurses told me dark blood could mean old blood. Which its ok.
I’ve had a handful of miscarriages and each one was different. The best advice I can give you is just lean on your doctor and don’t google anything.

With my last baby, I had a hemorrhage that was about 2 inches and was right next to where baby implanted, I lost a lot of blood, er dr said “you’ll either miscarry or you won’t” (that was totally reassuring

I had 5 miscarriages, brown blood is old blood, it’s not a new bleed, sometimes a miscarriage will start that way and then the red blood and clots will come after, but if all I got was brown I wouldn’t worry too much… all I can say to you is if it’s going to happen it will no matter what you do so just try stay as calm as possible and not worry too much about what might happen… it’s easier said than done I know that but stressing yourself won’t help, the best I can say to you at the minute is brown blood is blood from a long time ago and not blood that’s only coming now. I wish you the best of luck

So this exact thing is happening to me. I bled brown for 2 weeks and am still bleeding. We thought a miscarriage was happening but the pregnancy and my levels keep rising and developing. My doctor said that it’s common in about 20% to bleed during pregnancy. I am 8 wks and just had an ultrasound last week and the babies heartbeat is strong and growing. All is well

Your dr can prescribe progesteron. The same thing was happening to me with my 2nd pregnancy and I was around 9 weeks as well. It is to help lower the risk of a misscarrage and heal you. And keep the baby safe.

I had that same brown spotting as a pregnancy symptom. I walked in ER thinking it was something else as I was very irregular with my period. Came out finding out I was pregnant.
If you are closed from the outside you could still be on the safe side. Give your body rest, avoid stress and take your vitamins. I’m no doctor. Try your best to keep calm.
Wishing you the best! Stay of your feet and get a lot of rest as your body is creating life and that’s alot of hard work!

There is a surgery called Cervical cerclage is a medical procedure in which your doctor places a single stitch around your cervix, the opening to your uterus. The stitch sews your cervix closed. Doctors perform cerclage to prevent late (second trimester) miscarriages and preterm (early) delivery.

Please rest and drink lots of fluids. ER doctors are not always known for a good bedside manner. Dehydration will cause cramping. See your OB as soon as possible. Brown blood is old. No red blood is a good sign. I hope you can relax. Don’t lift more than 3 pounds. You are probably fine.

Not necessarily with my youngest I used to get blood clots the size of golf balls and once the size of an orange and the dr could never figure out what it was. I had to get induced because it kept happening. Thank god she was ok. Good luck to you and btw my blood was bright red so I’m sure you’re fine
Brown blood is old blood so brown blood doesn’t mean you are bleeding… just means that discharge, etc is flushing out old blood left inside.
Your cervix can dilate and close back up. I was like 4cm dilated at 14ish weeks and the closed back… opened back up, closed back up, etc

Yes had the exact same with a 4th pregnancy. They ended up doing a d&c. And I got pregnant with my daughter ,who is now 7 , a month later. But some brown discharge doesnt mean it will always end in miscarriage. I mean with my first child I bled like that for a little over 5 months before I started to get sick and then I went to er and got blood work and found out I was over 5 months pregnant. He is 19 now.
So my advice is to hang in there. It’s gonna be a rough road if indeed you miscarry and I hope you have a great support system at home.
