My pregnancy history consists of one miscarriage, one pregnancy that resulted in a congenital heart defect that caused my baby to die at 31 days old, then one more miscarriage. I just did 3 home pregnancy tests that came out positive 3 times, all done a couple days apart. I figure my pregnancy to be about 6 weeks (since the first day of my last period).
I have been having some spotting for about 1 week. The spotting is off and on. No consistent bleeding. Sometimes the spotting is light pink and sometimes it's kinda brownish. I have read several things online that say if it's brown, be worried about miscarriage. But others say not to worry. My doctor appt. isn't for another 1 1/2 weeks. I really want this pregnancy, but have suffered a loss of my infant daughter at just 31 days old and believe that miscarriages happen for a reason. My daughter was supposed to be born, but she had medical problems. I am scared that this pregnancy will have something wrong with it too. I really don't want to suffer a loss in any way, but I also understand that with my history, it could go in any direction and I need to accept it. Gosh, I just don't know what to think and am incredibly scared. I have some sciatica nerve problems with my left side so any cramping I have might be related to that, but it's just so hard to know. If I lose this one, I believe there is a reason. I just don't want to lose it. Any thoughts?
Please, don't be cruel to me. I do not drink, smoke or do drugs. I had gastric bypass surgery in 2005 so I guess I eat normally. Meaning some healthy, some junk food (desserts, fast food), but not excessive. I don't eat a lot at one time. I don't drink soda, just water and juice most of the time. I really can't handle much sugar or fats anyway. I don't do lifting of heavy stuff or excessive exercising. I have been off work since my daughter was born in 11/2007. I have not been exposed to chemicals or anything crazy. My husband is healthy and his family is healthy.
I don't know what else to include. I'm hoping someone with experience or something will see this and give me some advice or insight to what could or may be happening. Maybe, I'm just hoping for hope in itself. This also may be my way of praying I and my new little one are ok.
Thank you in advance for any advice or thoughts you may have.
