So I couldn't sleep on Sat night and ended up waking up at 5:30am and going into the living room as to not keep my hubby up with all the tossing and turning I was doing. Ended up falling asleep on the couch about an hour later and was woken up by some pretty intense cramps. I have been cramping on and off all along but they feel more like gas pains than "those" cramps. It seems that since I've found out I was pregnant I have been ridiculously constipated (sorry if TMI). Most of the time I can't go while other times it's just not enough. I attributed the cramps I was having to this. Well when I finally woke up on Sun morning I noticed some dark brown mixed in with what looked like a little CM on the TP. Naturally anything outside of just the TP or my pee is unacceptable. I tried not to freak out (it didn't work), but throughout the day the cramps kept coming on and off. Still they did not feel like the bad type of cramps. There was no more spotting until about 10pm at which point there was a tiny little bit. Then again this morning was the mix of CM and a brownish color. I still have all my symptoms, including extremely painful boobs and nausea but am scared out of my mind. I know that spotting is common and that so far it hasn't gotten worse but I don't know if I can handle another loss. I was just so convinced that this was our keeper. We have our u/s tomorrow where we are supposed to get to see the hb for the first time and it can't come soon enough. Please pray for hubby and I that we have the strength to handle whatever God has planned for us.

Oh Dawn--this can be so freaky. You're in my prayers. I pray for your health and the life of this baby. But I also pray for peace and comfort, and for you to be able to feel God's arms around you as you wait. I'll be praying for you tomorrow as you head in to the ultrasound. Hang in there!

I'll be praying for you to have strength and good news. You've still got your symptoms and it's brown spotting - all good signs.
Tomorrow can't come fast enough!!

I am sorry! I also had really bad cramps for weeks because I have IBS and it really bothered me in the beginning. Still does sometimes. I never had spotting but the cramps were alway's freaking me out. I hope everything is fine tomorrow and you get to see your baby's heartbeat!!! Thinking of you.

I'm so sorry that you're having to go through this uncertainty. It's really an awful feeling in your gut when you're afraid that it's "THE cramping" or "THE spotting." I'm praying for you, and I know many others are as well. Thank goodness you have your u/s tomorrow to see what's going on in there.
