Black/Brown Bleeding @ Ten Weeks

not sure where you live but dr. russell bridges in downtown DC is an incredible OB. in the meantime though try reasoning with your old office or going to the ER. you need to get this checked out. hugs.

I'd make a trip to the ER. I went to the ER on a "hunch", it was late at night when I started to feel uncertain, and I'm glad I did. You might be able to get an appt. today with your OB but make sure you mention miscarriage.

When I was having a m/c in '06, I had called my OB's office to get a scan. I was told by one of the staff that my insurance wouldn't pay for another scan, even though I had reason to believe I was miscarrying, and to basically shut up. When it was confirmed by the hospital that I indeed was miscarrying, I gave my Dr. an earful about the particular staff person who was rude and condescending. That person was let go. It wasn't my intent to have her fired, but I was very very upset about the m/c and the staff person added to my misery. Some Dr. probably aren't aware that their staff are rude and they should be aware.

Ugh, who is your doctor? That's awful. I go to Reiter and Hill, and even though they get plenty of criticism on this site, I'll tell you, I called once and said I felt crampy and I was in the office getting an ultrasound and a check-up three hours later.

I am 10 weeks today. This morning i woke up and thought that i was cramping because of gas and a full bladder. i went to the bathroom i noticed that i had bright red blood on the tissue. i screamed! i was completely mortified. 2 nights before i had a dream that i had miscarried. i immediately called the answering service and they paged the doctor to call me. he called back within 10 min he asked me questions and told me to call the office tomorrow morning to schedule a sonogram. he said to stay off my feet. they are going to run other test tomorrow as well. He said that if i was gushing blood i needed to go to the er otherwise if i was spotting or had period like flow to just wait till tomorrow. Later i went to the bathroom and passed a clot. now the flow has slowed down but im still incredibly scared! i do feel a little empty (less bloated) as the others have mentioned and my breasts are no longer tender. i havent had any morning sickness but this morning i got sick twice. this is my first baby. and im praying that i hear a heartbeat tomorrow. all my life ive wanted to be a mom. i just hope that if i lose this one i will have the chance again. i feel so sorry for the mother who had to wait and wasnt seen. thats so horrible. i hope she found help as soon as possible.
And to all the other moms out there be thankful! everyday! Theres nothing better in life than a child!
