Spotting.. Was diagnosed with "Threatened Miscarriage"..

I just found out last week on Monday that I am pregnant, and immediately started getting morning sickness.  This past Sunday night I started spotting, this is my first time pregnancy so the spotting scared me a lot and I went to the ER.  The doctor ran blood tests, did ultrasounds, and checked my cervix.  He told me I am only 5 weeks along.

The doctor also told me that I have a 50% chance of having a miscarriage, 50% chance of not.  He said my spotting put me at a much higher risk of having a miscarriage and I need to take it easy.

My mother had two miscarriages one before my older brother and one between his and I's births.

I am so frightened and it's so hard not to think about it and cope with it.

I don't want to lose my baby

Did the doctor mention anything to you about subchorionic hemmorage? I had that with 2 pregnancies of mine. I do also think the the ER nurse told me I had a higher chance of miscarriage but that didn't happen. Try not to stress. It is hard not to, I know, but it isn't good for you or the baby. I will keep you in my prayers.

I think you need second oppinion. I have BLEEDING and I am not at a higher risk for miscarriage (not saying that bleeding is good, just in my case it is not related to the fetus). The biggest worry in my case is that I personally will bleed out but my point is just because you are spotting doesnt mean that you will have a miscarriage. You also have to remember that the point of the emergancy room is to prevent death. I hate to say it that way but it's the truth. They are there to stop the bleeding if you are bleeding to death, to save your life if you have a heart attack, etc. Anyway, They are trained in all fields, but not as extensively as doctors in those fields. You should see an OBGYN. That way you have the advice of the doctor who's training is specificly where you need it. I would say not to lose hope until you are sure.

I'm so sorry- I just has a miscarriage in Sept and I remember the waiting to see what was going to happen and how horrible that was. I'm in a miscarriage support group on here, and it REALLY helped me cope with things. 

I really hope things work out for you, good luck Mama. Message me if you need to talk or have any questions or anything.

i had the same thing at 6 weeks. i was told i would loose the baby so i prepared for it.  im now 30 weeks and 2 days with my little miricle boy baby.  i did the very least amount of things (which is hard i have a 5 year old who in school and a 2.5 year old) i did nothing for weeks.  especially the first few days. i didnt walk around any stores when i grochery shopping i used one of those ride cart thingys.  i felt stupid but at least i knew that i was doing everything i could to give the baby the best chance.  im sending hope your way that everything goes smoothly with your little one

It is hard to tell what is going to happen based on bleeding alone. 

I had heavy spotting with this pregnancy with a few clots.  My midwife thought I was miscarrying for sure.  The pregnancy ended up being viable.   

The key is cramping.  If you start getting cramps that progressively get worse then you are probably miscarrying.  If not, then it could just be some implantation bleeding or something else.
