I am new to Mumsnet but have been an observer for a few weeks. My DD is 15 months old and I am currently 8+5 weeks.
I am an insulin dependant diabetic so was sent for an early scan at 6 weeks where they detected a heartbeat and all looked well. I was hoping for a stress free pregnancy as with DD it was a nightmare ending in pre eclampsia, induction at 36 weeks, forceps, haemmorage (sp), blood transfusion etc. Looks like this time round the stress is starting earlier!
I started bleeding at the weekend, mainly brown spotting (sorry!) and by Mon am it had got heavier and was red. I telephoned my ante natal clinic who referred me to the Early pregnancy unit and they scanned me on Mon pm. Baby was well with a strong heartbeat and there was no sign of any bleed and no obvious cause.
The bleeding stopped but has restarted today - it is heavier, bright red with some lumps (again sorry!). The EPU say they won't scan me for another two weeks and it sounds like I could be miscarrying. They tell me to sit and wait!
Should I just be reassured by the heartbeat on Monday and not worry anymore unless it gets severe or should I try and get another scan.
Any thoughts/comments appreciated.
