ER or stay home & relax?!?

Question

I don’t have a lot of energy to even write this post, so I’m going to try to keep it short, sweet, & to the point. 
I am currently measuring at 6w pregnant. My S/O & I just had our first real ultrasound this morning!

But when I woke up this morning, I had very light & intermittent cramping. Even noticed super light spotting. (If I hadn’t of looked twice, I would’ve missed it.) I told my tech and we went ahead with the ultrasound this morning. There was no detectable heartbeat, as of yet. And I have seemed to implant on the side and not the preferred area, middle. 
I’m afraid I’m just freaking myself out at this point. But I can’t help but be terrified that I’m doing something extremely wrong. 
My hcg levels on Friday were 7767 & today they were reading at over 18000, so that is good news!! 
My brain is all over the place recently.. 😔 If the pain gets any worse or spotting changes, should I go be evaluated? I’m so scared I’ll have to be on bed rest, or even worse, that I’ll lose my little peanut.. 😭😭

Answer

If you had a transvaginal ultrasound, that could be why you’re spotting. Also, mild cramping is completely normal especially in the beginning. If you’re worried call your doctor and inform them you’re spotting. ERs are meant for emergencies. Spotting in early pregnancy is not an emergency. I had spotting/bleeding with two my healthy pregnancies and cramped with all my babies.

Answer

Cramping is normal and unless you’re bleeding like a period I wouldn’t worry about it. No point in going to the ER they aren’t going to do anything and can’t prevent anything from happening.

Answer

I'd stay home and rest. If it turns into period bleeding or is constant then go get checked but since you just had a scan this morning there is nothing more the ER can do except the wait and see approach :)

Answer

I've had brown pink and red discharge since I was like 6w. Im supposed to be 10w.
The cramping I've felt was due to round ligaments. 
I was at my docs earlier today and was told to be concerned if I was bleeding enough to fill a pad to go to the hospital. 
Just wiping and seeing it wasn't enough to be if concern even tho I've been having it for a few weeks. 
They also saw (me too since I had an U.S. today) they spot that was possibly causing the "blood" discharge. 
I forgot what they called it tho.

Answer

If your really concerned you can go to the er. But if you just had an ultrasound this morning and everything was normal  (which it sounds like it was) you'll probably get similar information. Cramping can be normal and some spotting can be normal too especially if you had a transvaginal US. Personally I would wait but if you want piece of mind theres no harm in going to the ER.

Answer

When is your next ultrasound? Hopefully in a week to check. I wish you all the best and hope it turns out ok for you. But I’d def get an ultrasound next week. Make sure the baby is ok and growing and hopefully hear a heartbeat then...good luck.  I’d love an update

Answer

If the spotting worsens yes. As for cramping I’m not sure. I was about 5-6 weeks when I found out I was pregnant and my cramping became very severe and one sided. I went and did lots of blood testing also and my hcg levels came back good. They ended up just doing an ultrasound and decided my cramping was caused by my pregnancy cyst and that it was more on my left side so. Get lots of rest and just keep an eye on the spotting! Your hcg levels are very high so that’s a great sign.

Answer

Try to relax, staying certainly won't help. I think it maybe a little early for a heart beat tbh. A little cramping and spotting isn't too abnormal. If your concerned, I'd suggest calling your obgyn and let them know what's going on, and see about getting an appointment asap. If it gets worse, then maybe go to the hospital to be safe. I'm praying for your little bean to be sticky! Lol this is the best I could do for a sticky gif...

Answer

The spotting has let up for the most part. If any spotting does happen, I still only barely notice it after wiping. The cramping is still present, but hasn’t increased any, so still a good sign. I’ve been doing my absolute best to relax as much as possible right now, in hopes it’ll ensure little creature will stay sticking. Lol 😂 (& yes, I call it a creature or monster & my S/O hates it) 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️
