How do I know if it's a Miscarriage?
So about a week or so ago I wrote a blog about 'Am I pregnant?' Not the exact title of the forum but it's close to it.
Well... as it turns out I'm still not really sure... I had a very delayed period. And like I've explained I've been reading up a lot on pregnancy and miscarriages... but I still have questions.
I had all of the symptoms of being pregnant... but I wasn't sure... so I went on as if I wasn't pregnant.
Well by the end of the month I started having really bad painful cramps... the cramps were so bad that I had to curl up in a ball and hold myself. And I never cramp on my period. And when I do it's not painful and a midol takes what little pain away.
Well the first day there was spotting of brown blood and it was hardly even coming. But the cramps were so bad that I was wondering if something was wrong, but I figured I'd wade it out. But, when I went to change the tampon skin like stuff came out... I mean I know what a clot looks like... but that was skin, and it was a purplish blue color. And I remember thinking to myself... 'Oh God there's something inside me.' But I didn't think nothing of it really... I've never been pregnant before so I don't know what to exspect or not.
Well I woke up the next morning.. and it was like the bottom fell out. I was bleeding so bad. I've had heavy periods, but this one takes the cake. There were non-stop clots. It seemed more like blood then period blood, (if that makes any sense.) And the cramps were really bad that day. I was in so much pain. I could hardly walke, stand, or bend over. I took a midol, and it didn't work, didn't even decrease the pain a little. Sometimes walking around eases off the cramp pain but walking seemed to make it worse.
And my hormones were running wild. I was ill so ill. I felt like killing everyone around me, but I know it was mostly because I was in such pain and it seemed like I was pushed around to do all the work.
See... I unload trucks for a living, I lift rather heavy stuff... stuff I shouldn't even be lifting... and to keep my energy up I tend to drink quite a few mnt. Dews. And I read up where caffine could have been a cause in this.
But what made me really think I had a early miscarriage is because I was talking to my Aunt about some things about my delayed period. (you know women things) and I told her aout the skin like stuff that came out.. cause for some reason it really stuck in my mind. And she said it could have been a miscarriage. I had all the symptoms... but after that horrible day of bad cramping and rather bad heavy bleeding it seemed like the symptoms of being pregnant had stopped.
And I would just like to know what some people may think. Anyone who's had one, please tell me something.
I've read and read, but I don't know... I had all the symptoms... and suddenly it stopped.
The tests still came up negative but it was way too early to know for sure if I was pregnant or not. But... sometimes you just know when something is different with your body... and everyone had different symptoms... but I could use some input... advice... anything.
Cause I'm so confused and if it turns out I had a miscarriage then I know it was probably because of my job and the intake of caffine...
