Hoping

So I certainly FEEL pregnant. Compared to last time, the only symptom that hasn't kicked in yet is chest pain. I remember last time my boobs hurting so bad that gravity alone was unbearable. So far nothing.

I had implantation bleeding last week, starting Thursday. I have read online that it can last anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. I am still bleeding as of today. My doctor told me that if the bleeding continues to let her know and she will see me sooner than my visit March 2nd (I won't see her that visit either, just the prenatal clerk)

I let her know, just in case something else is going on. I bled last time all the way through to the miscarriage at 8 weeks. But it can be normal. The first sign I was miscarrying was the horrible cramps, followed by the spotting I had going from light/brown to heavy/red-ish pink. Right now it's going back and forth from brown to light pink. The cramping isn't necessarily painful, just very irritating. I had twinges the entire time last time.

I remember at first they were slightly painful, I even took tylenol thinking they were period cramps at first - but they eased up and became annoying twinges. Needless to say I am worried - as always. There is no such thing as a perfect pregnancy. I am always going to worry no matter what. At least my doctor is offering to look into this for me if it doesn't stop on it's own.

Thing is, my body didn't know last time that the pregnancy wasn't viable. It maintained the pregnancy through the 8 weeks even though the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks. I spotted all the way through and it was normal. My body didn't have any issues keeping the baby or supporting it. The baby just didn't make it past 6 weeks.

So this spotting may very well be normal. I might as well have my doctor check into it. Can't hurt anything.
