Slight brown spotting, now bad back ache at 9weeks?From: Amanda (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 27 Sep 2001 16:28:55 -0500 (CDT)
Hi. I experienced some slight brown spotting on Tuesday evening. I had no cramping or absominal pain. After a pelvic exam and an ultrasound I was told that my cervix was a teeny bit open (1/2 cm or less - doc said this was normal for a woman who has had a prior birth)and that the baby looks great - tucked high in the uterus, 2.3 cm with a heart rate of 175 at 9 weeks. He told me that my chance of miscarrying now is very low, that everything looks great, that 25-30% of women spot and fewer than half will miscarry etc. And that I should not, repeat should not panic about my cervix, that it merely indicates that I have previously delivered, not that I'm about to miscarry. Question 1 -is my cervix normal? The next night, I developed a terrible backache that does not feel like cramps, and my spotting has dwindled down to a faint brown tint in my CM. My bak felt better this morning, but is starting to get sore again this afternoon. I've been a slug for two days now - just lying on the couch watching court tv. Question 2 - could this backache in fact be a sign of an impending miscarriage? I have had no red or pink bleeding, the spotting is almost gone, and I don't have any pain in the center of my abdomen, although I'm still having bad "stretching" pains on either side of my abdoman. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond.
-- Amanda EDD 4/30
