5w1d scare


I woke up this morning shortly before 6 with a major scare.  I had done my 2nd pee for the night at 5:30am and then tried to lie back down, but realized I needed to go #2 so back to the bathroom I went.  I had to strain a bit, but didn't think much about it until afterwards when I wiped my front and noticed pinkish spotting.  I immediately freaked out.

For the next hour I had on and off abdominal cramps and so had to go back to the bathroom multiple times.  (sorry tmi - now my stool is extremely loose).  The spotting seems to have died down, but it still has me worried.

I am trying to tell myself that it likely was from having to strain too much the first time and probably bursting some blood vessels in my cervix.  I hope this is the case.  Other possiblity is a SCH which I hope isn't the case because those can be scary, though not as scary as m/c.  I am telling myself it can't be a m/c because my hcg was over 2500 just 3 days ago.  Even if it was going down, I can't see it being low enough to cause bleeding already. 

I had a similar experience with my last pregnancy at 6 weeks that also happened after a BM and went away just as quickly as it came, though then I ended up with a SCH 2 weeks later and ds's placenta failing a few weeks later.  I can't be sure that the SCH caused this, but it does way on my mind.

Anyways this spotting does totally ruin my plans for today.  I was suppose go to the WIC office this morning to pick up the farmer's market checks.  They only give them out one day now and if you miss it tough luck.  However, I can't risk going there and the spotting getting worse just for $20.
Then dd has 2 therapists coming this afternoon at 3 and 5:30 and our place is a mess.  I don't know what to do and know dh won't do all the cleaning, but I don't want to take the chance of making things worse.  As well as I have a client to call late this morning about a sick cat.  I tried to refer them out yesterday, but the owner wanted to wait to see how the cat is doing today.  Anyways, even if I didn't have the spotting I couldn't fit them in today so I think I am going to give him 2 options - either go to the hospital or if the cat is better wait at home.  Really no point in me going out there, charging him $100 and then sending him to the hospital anyways.
