Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi,

This is Meenu's husband. Meenu has been advised to take a week rest by her doctor. Everything is normal. yesterday she got very very faint brownish discharge and she was very tensed about it. So i took her to the doctor immideately. Doctor did internal testing and confirmed that everything is normal. She said she could not see any discharge and that everything is normal. She checked with doppler also and she could detect the heartbeat immideately(Meenu says it was like train chugging along :-)). She was tensed but perfectly normal now.

Thanks archie for your wishes and boosting her confidence. It means a lot to us.

Thanks pridu and anamika. Meenu will try to reply by this weekend. If there is anything i would update you all.

Convey our love to advait :-)

Thanks,

Let me take opportunity to wish you as well for this pregnancy. Heary congratulations!

It's nice to have supportive spouse and Meenu is lucky. I am sure now she has nothing to worry in pregnancy.

I know her feelings and I also know what she went through is normal. Faint brownish discharge that's not turning into fresh blood color is called spotting and it's very normal. This is due to shedding off some lining of uterus while growning fetus. She is expected to anticipate this for another 4 weeks. Once she enteres in Second trimester (from 14 week)Placenta will take over the pregnancy and things will be easy for her.

You will have to be supportive as last episode and she will deliver a healthy baby.

She shall not stress her self and/or not to get worried for many minor discomforts as she is expected to get many more in coming months. She shall discuss with her Dr. or here, wherever she is comfortable and whichever is earlier for her. I know it's easy to see Dr. in India at your terms than here in US, where things go by appointments only!

Take care.
Archie
