First Update
I waited 1/2 hour after the doctor’s office opened and when I hadn’t heard anything, I called again. They said the nurse had my chart and would call me back when she was done seeing a patient.
The nurse called me back and basically asked me everything I had already said on the answering machine this morning, and then said I’d likely have to “wait it out” but she’d talk to the OB and then call me back.
I had put on a pad this morning, and there was a quarter sized dollop of blood there an hour later, and when I went to the bathroom, it’s dripping into the toilet (sorry for so much information). It’s still pretty much brown, which is better than red (because it’s supposedly “old” blood) but I am scared out of my mind.
I really want them to do an ultrasound. If this is the only chance I might get to see our baby/ies, then I want to see him/her/them. But I know the nurse is going to tell me to just take it easy and I will wuss out and not demand an ultrasound and then I will just be a sick, nervous wreck until we have some answers.
I just don’t know what to do. I wish Calista was at school today, because I keep having crying fits and have to try to hide them from her. I don’t want to scare her.

Oh goodness!!! I’m glad it’s brown – but I understand that doesn’t help that much. I really hope your OB can do SOMETHING to help figure out what is going on. So many women do experience early spotting/bleeding like this and it’s nothing – I really hope that is all it is for you!!!
I know it’s scary. And as said in my other post, you have a lot going on down there and now that I’ve seen the bloat picture, it could just be that things are moving and expanding quickly and causing some old blood to be released. Feet up, relax, keep us posted!!
Sending lots of sticky vibes! *HUGS*
I am so sorry that the nurse isn’t being as proactive as she could be. I hope she calls you back soon and lets you come in for a u/s. Hang in there and keep us posted. (((HUGS))) Sending lots of thoughts, prayers and sticky vibes your way!
I hope they’ll give you and u/s, especially given what you’ve been through so far. As for the blood, brown is good but still scary (I know, I had that too). I had both red and brown with Dakota and Zac and brown with Katie. It lasted for a few weeks with each of them and all was determined to come from my cervix. Obviously they’re here and fine. Try to take it easy and try to stay positive, hard as that is. HUGS
Don’t wuss out. Being a nervous wreck is bad for bubbies.
Sommer, I’m praying for you and your little one(s). It very well could be from implantation, especially if there are 2, makes sense that there would be more spotting. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. ((hugs))
keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! hoping this is just the little beans snuggling in! keep us posted.
((hugs))
(((Hugs))) Hang in there! Lots of prayers headed your way.
I would demand an U/S on the grounds that you need to do what is best for your babies and stay sane.
It’s not as if you are asking them to do it for free. They’ll certainly charge you. They need to get over themselves.
Lots of hugs. Sending my most positive thoughts of courage and well-being.
Sommer…sending you lots and lots of big hugs and P&PT! I agree with everyone else…feet up, stay positive and insist on an u/s!!
{hugs} I truly hope it turns out to be nothing.
Just wanted to offer some hugs Sommer. I’ll be thinking +++ thoughts for your little one(s) and praying for you.
>>>> I know this will just be a normal thing and you will have these babies!!! Stay positive :-) They are just tring to make room.
You’re right that they probably won’t do anything for you, so try to relax. I bled during my pregnancy and know of many others who have, too, and had healthy babies. It doesn’t have to mean anything – just breathe. ((Hugs))
I’m thinking of you Sommer! *hugs*
