am i having a miscarriage

Im 16 years old, Im 7 weeks 3 days. I've been bleeding (its been does go onto the pad but not as much as a period would) for the past 5 days (starting Wednesday), the colour varies from light red, red to brown. I've had aching pains and sore hips,i went a&e Thursday and they booked me an appointment for an ultrasound the following day. i had an ultrasound on Friday and there was a heartbeat, is the bleeding something i should worry about? Im going doctors in the morning but i want to put my mind to rest before going to bed.

When i had my MC last year it was dark blood and then passing lots of really big clots. to me it felt like i was losing organs.. like there was loads of livers just squeezing out of me. I was changing the large maternity type pads every 10 mins as the amount of blood you lose is massive. not like a period at all! i didnt have really bad pain just like period cramps really. but the clots were the worse thing.it was horrible coz i was at home with my oh and my 2 best friends just watchin tv and havin a laugh to then go toilet and realise i was losing my baby. but it was also very nice to have so much support from the begining  of it. It doesnt sound like you are having a mc as its just blood your experiancing with no clots or clots smaller than a 50p then it should be normal. but keep doctors informed and keep an eye on it.. wel obv you will be anyway. i hope it all stays normal for u :)

You have to see an ob not a general doctor. I would  go back to the er if you don't have an on. If all goes well fresh apple juice is no good if not pasteurized which many fresh once are not. Good luck!

The doctor refused to see me, and the nurse practitioner said she doesn't do pregnancies. The bleeding has gotten slightly heavier, and Im getting lower back aches x

I had spotting with this pregnancy from week 6 to week 8.  At first the blood was real light pink then towards the end of it it was brown.  Everything is great now as I will be 35 weeks tomorrow.  Just remember brown blood is old blood, spotting is common as early as you, and ever it gets heavier or super bright red then got to the hospital or call doctor right away.

It goes in this order, light red in the morn, a little brighter in the noon and brown around 5 then stops about 8-9. It's been like that for 5 days, i shall go doctors in the morning and will update. hopefully its nothing serious but you might be right x

At exactly 7 weeks my baby was 5.5mm and her heartbeat was 136 so your baby is doing just fine.  Maybe next time you see your doctor ask about what it could be.  I know I hate it when people don't tell me anything and I have to sit there and worry.  All I know hun is, when I had my miscarriage last year I went to the bathroom one night and when I wiped there was bright red blood and it seemed slimmy as well (sorry tmi), I was having minor back cramps as if I was starting my period.  I went to bed, and woke up in the morning with the worst pain ever and started POURING blood, like I was literally changing my thick pad every 2 minutes.  I bled super heavy for that whole day, passed sooooo many clots, and I know this is about to sound super gross but I also seen tiny pieces of flesh.  The bleeding slowed down but I still bled for about a month (spotting I guess you could say).  I know you cant compare every miscarriage to someone elses but I was just trying to tell you how mine went.  I wish it upon no body.

The doctors never told me why or what's actually happening when i went to the hospital, just said the fetus is 1cm with a heartbeat. I am extremely happy, but getting fed up of the bleeding. I've been resting and drinking water andfresh apple juice. Thank you. x

When you are bleeding while pregnant you cant help but to worry.  There are other reasons why you would bleed while pregnant and the baby be just fine.  I would just say make sure you watch it, and keep your doctor informed.  I know this can be scary, just take it easy.. put yourself on bed rest and drink tons of water.  Good luck!
