Angel, Miscarriages and Spotting in the first Trimester

[Guest guest]

(((((Angel))))) I am so very sorry for your loss, Angel...and I hope

that you have the love and support you need to help you get through

this very sad time...

I wanted to say to anyone who is spotting in their first trimester:

Though it CAN happen and the baby be healthy, spotting is not a

usual thing. Yes, some women DO spot regularily (myself included in

this pregnancy) and everything is okay. Some women spot all through

their pregnancies and deliver healthy babies...

I work in health care and wanted to tell you about the advice we

give to women who spot/bleed in the first trimester - be seen by Dr

for any first trimester bleeding. If you have to have a zillion

ultrasounds to feel reassured that everything is okay, do it...

I think Angel's post illustrates that sometimes it doesn't have to

be heavy bleeding that can mean things aren't okay.

Angel, my heart goes out to you, sweetie.

Hugs,
