Ladies,
I'm going out of mind with worry. I'm 11 weeks pregnant and I started bleeding this morning. There was a big dark blood clot in the toilet then brown blood on the tissue. Half an hour later, this was bright red blood and smaller red clots.
I was also getting sharp pains on the right side of my stomach.
I went to A&E and they weren't too worried as my blood tests showed I hadn't lost too much blood and my cervix was still closed. She asked if I'd passed tissue, but I didn't know as I don't know what I should've been looking for. They couldn't scan me as its Saturday. I have to go back in on Monday for a scan. That means stiing and worrying for the rest of the weekend.
I was reassured, but then I started reading the internet and it seems you can still miscarry if your cervix is closed.
I'm still bleeding bright red blood - it's exactly like my period. I'm changing my pad every three or four hours. I'm also getting the sharp pains which come and go, like someone is poking my stomach.
This is my third pregnancy and I never experienced anything like this before. My husband and I had a huge argument yesterday (all resolved) and I'm worried that's what's caused it.
I'm preparing for the worst and tomorrow will probably be the longest day of my life.
Is there anyone out there who has experienced something similar only for it to turn out okay? Or does anyone have ideas what it can be if not a miscarriage?

Bleeding at 11 weeks, but cervix closed

I'm so sorry you are going through this.
I had a big bleed (a gush down my leg) when I was nine weeks pregnant. I went to a and e and was examined, my cervix were closed. I didn't have any pain and I was sent home (it was a Friday) and told to come back on Tuesday for a scan as there were no appointments until then. I bled all Saturday and most of Sunday bright red turning brown on the Sunday it was like a proper period. I was convinced I had lost my baby. She's ten now
Sit tight, look after yourself and be kind to yourself. I will keep everything crossed for you 
Oh no I'm so sorry it doesn't matter how many children you have I have 4dc and I've had 3 mcs and every one still hurt like hell.
Look after yourself it is a really horrible unfair thing to go through. X
Hi Sanatana, I'm sorry you're going through this. Something similar happened to me in October 2013 and it was incredibly traumatic. After the doctor removed the sac, I bled like a heavy period for a week or so and there was no need for any further medical management.
Please be assured that you did absolutely nothing to cause the miscarriage. I beat myself up afterwards trying to figure out what I'd done wrong and what I could have done differently but there is no rhyme or reason to miscarriages, just a genetic roll of a dice. Please be kind to yourself 
.Sanatana - I'm so sorry you're going through this .
Hopefully at least your scan tomorrow will show that you've passed everything now. But if not, obviously you'll want to take advice from your doctors, but if it helps, I had medical management (medication) of a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks and it was fine. Well emotionally grim of course, but physically not particularly painful at all. I chose medication as it seemed to have less risk of infection and none of scarring compared to D&C, although even the risks with D&C are supposed to be very small. Nevertheless it was important to me as I wanted to try again for a baby when I felt ready (which took a while, actually).
Your DH might well change his mind about trying again - he's probably very protective of the risk of seeing you go through this again, however small, as it must've been a shock for him too.
As pp have said ^ it absolutely won't have been caused by anything you did/didn't do - vast majority of MC are caused by random chromosome errors.
Take care, hope you're home soon giving your DCs a big hug.
