Hi everybody,

I had a very painful miscarriage in 11th week with contractions like delivery pains lasting for abt 12 hrs...and then a sudden uncontrollable bleeding...had an emergency D&C after that...

I spotted a drop of yellow discharge with brownish tinge the previous day....went to Doc immediately....she did vaginal(internal) ultrasound....couldn't depend on that so, asked for another ultrasound after 2 days...but the miscarriage happened even before that....and i felt the vaginal ultrasound caused the miscarriage...

I would like to know ::::
1) Is even a mild discharge a sign of miscarrige?
2) Can vaginal ultrasound cause miscarriage?

If anybody can throw some light on my questions....i will be very thankful,
Thanks,

I don't have words to console u people.I
didn't go through miscarriage,but,i know the pain.I am from july board and after long struggle i got my baby .U know in my 37 week ultrasound they told to deliver the baby as early as possible,otherwise it may die in the womb.
But god heard my prayers.my baby is 31/2 months old now.

Prineetha,I too had so many ultrasounds,all that vaginally done.They told only after 27 week sometimes the sound will be harmful to baby.I think in your case also it won't be a reason.Sometimes all these happen without reason.But so many people had healthy kids after miscarriages.Don't worry ,god will be with u people always.

take care,
revathi vidya replied. Hi Parineeta,
Extremely sorry to know about ur miscarriage and i know how u might be feeling cos. even i have gone through this same pain twice. I too have 2 miscarriages at 6th and 8th week respectively.
Parineets, I would like to mention here that a vaginal U/S dosent cause a miscarriage. This type of US is done when abdominal US dosent reveal proper condition of the sac or the baby. FOr my both pregnancies, vaginal US was done to see the baby development. Spotting or bleeding are the first indications that something is wrong and that the pregnancy would end up in a miscarriage. Maybe the pregnancy was not complete or whatever cause there are so many reasons. In my case, the first miscarriage was due to blighted ovum (no proper formation of the embryo) and the second was due to no cardiac activity of the baby. BUt sometimes slight spotting or miscarriage can be due to lowlying placenta, etc... which can be treated and with full bedrest, a healthly baby can be born. SO rest assured as ur questions are not really a cause for miscarriage. Give a gap of 3-4 months before trying for next pregnancy. After two miscarriages, im now 17 weeks pregnant. SO there is always hope at the other end of the tunnel.
All the best
love vidya
