Sorry to hear this bamster. I had a mc at 6 weeks, shocking how something this early can be so upsetting.

So sorry Bamster. I had the same a few weeks back - I was 6.5 weeks . Only myself & DH knew & the hardest thing was trying to carry on as normal with everyone else. The nurses at the EPU were lovely though. Hugs.

sorry to her- i did a test on the friday (after xmas) and started bleeding on the sunday- didnt even have chance to tell my husband. so when i started bleeding it was all a shock to him, we ve been trying for 1 1/2 yrs so its was awful. still trying though and always hopeful. i had no problems with my 1st. we concieved him first time after we came off the pill ans sailed through the pregnancy- just shows you how lucky we were... hang in there, i am.....

Hope you feel better soon!

hi,
thanks to all for your support. no matter how many weeks its just not easy is it?
the docs arent even going to send me for a scan as they say ive had a complete miscarriage. only if i get more heavier bleeding will they refer me straight away.
it is hard trying to put a front on things when no1 else knows. i just wanna curl up in a ball and hibernate for a few weeks.
hugs to all

Sorry to hear this bamster. I had an early miscarriage in between having DS1 and DS2 - was terribly terribly upset about it and still think about it every now and again.

Best wishes to you.

Sorry to hear your news bamster.... My partner and I had similar. We found out we were pregnant on the saturday... he was sooo excited called round and told everyone.. i did try to tell him not to as i was a little cautious as i had mc before. 4 days later i started to bleed. Its so annoying when the doctors are so casual about it. I had to wait a day for a scan, i bled quite a lot so i knew i had mc but the wait to have it confirmed was so heartbreaking. It must be hard for you not having the scan. I know up until that point i still didnt want to believe it and hearing them say it made it real. my thoughts are with you... its a very lonely time, even when you have support... {{{{hugs}}}}

oh bamster, I'm so sorry.
It is awful. Last summer I started bleeding three days after getting a +ve pg test. Went to hospital straight away and had a scan - nothing there, and the test was even -ve again already. The doctor was awful - looked at me like he could'nt understand why I was crying, asked me how old I was and then said 'you're young, you can have more'. It's so gut-wrenching - being up there so happy and then coming crashing down. On a happier note I conceived again three months later and am now 31 weeks.
Thinking of you - be good to yourself.

So sorry bamster.

It is so hard, regardless of how early. It isn't just the baby/pregnancy that is lost - but also your hopes and dreams.

Give yourself some time to think and grieve your loss. Take care of yourself.

Oh Bamster, it is hard.


Just for the record my GP was wonderful, I MC at 7 - 8 weeks and when it was all done and dusted and I went back to see him, he looked me in the eye and said I am so sorry that you had to go trough this.

Started me off crying again.

Not saying that to make anyone feel bad, just pointing out that there are some diamonds out there.

Big hugs to you bamster, know exactly what you're going through my story was just the same lost my baby at just 5weeks and like you had to wait to have it confirmed by scan the pain is very hard, but I promise things will ease (although you'll never forget). Happily for me I fell two months later and now have a beautiful ds. Just let the tears flow freely babe you need to let it all go, I know you don't believe me right now but you will be happy again x

Sympathies Bamster, I lost a baby to an ectopic in November, before then I had never realised how badly it can hurt to lose a baby so early on.
take care, rest up and try to think of brighter things

Sorry to hear your news, Bamster. I'm recovering from a recent miscarriage too, and it's been difficult, to say the least. But 6 weeks on, I am beginning to feel more like my old self again. I will never forget the baby I miscarried, but the grief is getting easier to cope with.
