Well since I'm lying in bed ignoring pain I might as well write it down.
So I first got some blood at about 9pm Thursday night, but had no pain. Went to the gp on Friday morning who got me an appointment at EPU for Monday (tomorrow!). Still no pain and not much blood.
From about 3pm Friday pain began and got worse, however I was caring for DS and we went to M&S to get dinner, with me cramping in the aisles! I ate a cookie from the bakery.
Got home and sat down at about 5.30 and the pain was very bad. I felt something go pop and rushed to the toilet, and had a pinkish fluid. I told DP that we were going to a&e.
Got to A&E at 6 (i drove) and started bleeding heavily walking from the car park which is a long walk, to the A&E. I booked in and told them I was bleeding heavily, and left blood all over their chair. My trousers were saturated and everyone was looking at me. We got called through to triage quickly and I told the nurse that I was bleeding heavily; she gave me two pads and sent me off to the loo.
I threw away my knickers, held the pads between my legs and put back on my saturated trousers. I left blood all over the room, and told the nurse this. She gave me 2 paracetamol.
She then took us through to the internal waiting area, where there were several people waiting for various ailments. She told me to sit down and I told her it wasn't wise as I would ruin the chair. She gave me a bed pad to sit on and another spare one. We then sat there for two hours whilst everyone else was seen. I sat there in the misguided belief that the staff were aware of how much I was bleeding but were very very busy. I was in terrible pain and bled through all my pads and sent DP to get some more. This was about 8pm.
Well, once the nurses realised that I'd basically miscarried sitting on their waiting room chair they were aghast. They put me on a trolley, peeled off my saturated pads and trousers (which went in the bin), gave me a cannula. I asked for a drink as I hadn't eaten or drunk since about 5pm but they said I couldn't have anything. I was hooked up to saline and lying on a bed has never felt so calming or relaxing!
The nurses from here on were so kind. The poor Gynae doctor who was covering labour ward/theatre, the Gynae ward and A&E eventually came to see me and examined me. This was not pleasant (internal) and she was worried that not everything had come out so I was take upstairs to the Gynae ward. I was still nil by mouth as she thought they might have to do I'm guessing an erpc, during the night. I last saw the doctor at about 3am.
On the ward I passed quite a lot of tissue and blood. I remained nil by mouth without a doctor seeing me again until 11am, when I had a ravenous breakdown and kicked up a fuss about being on indefinate nil by mouth. I hadn't eaten or drunk for about 18 hours and was really feeling it. They agreed that I could eat until I had the scan then they would just fast me again if they needed to do anything. Why they could have done this before I don't know.
I had a very unpleasant internal scan at about 1pm which appeared to show only a small amount if tissue left. However the doctor was having trouble finding my left ovary so said I should go back today for a repeat blood test and then a scan later if needed.
I eventually left hospital after a long wait for my anti D. Blood tests today were good with hcg dropping, and I have a scan tomorrow.
Sorry this is long. I am obviously very upset at miscarrying in the waiting room, and about being NBM for so long. Feels better to get it all off my chest.
