I am not having a good day today. Yesterday I had some minor brownish spotting. I had a little today too. Some minor cramping. All in all, that isn't anything that I should be freaking out about. But what concerns me the most is that I don't feel very pregnant. No nausea, no extreme exhaustion. No funky food smells.
I just don't know if I can handle a third miscarriage. I will call the dr. tomorrow and most likely the blood draws will start. Which means more waiting.
Honestly right now I am feeling a combination of sad and mad. I said a few prayers last night and I will say some more tonight. I am just not optimistic, even though I should be.
Maybe I should just be thankful I have my Chloe and leave it at that.
I just don't know how I should feel.

I think right around 6-7 weeks I also had some brown spotting and it was fine. I also didn't feel very pregnant yet either. I will be praying that everything is okay!
I have heard so many of these symptoms from women whose pregnancies continue normally (KK is an ART miracle baby - so for a while I was on every pregnancy chat/board imaginable.) I also remember cramping a little in the first trimester. I'll say a little prayer for good news to come...hang in there.
I wish I could offer your more supportive words, but I haven't been pregnant before and I have no idea what it is like to go through it or go through what you have in the past. BUT i do know that you are a strong person and with Craig and Chloe by your side you will make it through anything. Just keep as positive as you can and let the doctors do their work. You are doing everything right.
:( I'm definitely praying for you right now. "They" say that every pregnancy is different...I hope thats the case for you. Keep us updated.
Jenny - keep us posted of course, but I do have to tell you I had EXACTLY the same thing about 2 weeks after I found out I was pregnant this time around (so I was about 6 weeks along, I would guess) and it was NOTHING... I even called my midwife and she said it was nothing too... totally normal. If you were miscarrying, you'd have a lot more blood than that, as you know. I haven't felt very pregnant this time around, either, compared to my last 3, so you're not alone. Maybe we're both having boys and that's why this is all so different?? Who knows? But I am praying for you anyway. Feel free to email me if you need to "talk."
You should feel however it is that you are feeling at this moment in time. Yesterday was yesterday and tomorrow will be tomorrow.
I'm guessing your doctor will tell you brownish spotting and slight cramping are normal as the lil' bean nestles in better.
My heart goes out to you and my thoughts are with you. Take care!
All I can add, is you are in my thoughts and I'm keeping everthing crossed for you.
***hugs***
I am thinking of you Jenny! I had a couple of spotting episodes with Timmy and it turned out all right, so I hope it does for you too.
I have you and the new little baby in your belly in my thoughts. I'm hoping for you that everything will be okay.
