I am currently 7+3 - baby v much planned and looked forward to. On Thursday I had a couple of cramps and some (dark brown) bleeding which I took to the doctor but wasn't really too worried about. They booked me a scan for tomorrow to check all was OK but said to go to A&E if the pain came back.
This morning, the pain came back and also the blood - now dark red. Off to A&E, where I had a scan. There is a baby in there, with a heartbeat, but the sonographer said "there is a lot of blood" which really freaked me out as I keep imagining the poor little bean awash with blood. The doctor said about 2/3 of pregnancies go on to be fine, but 1/3 do miscarry.
Since getting home, the blood is now bright red, but no clots and no real pain - a kind of dull ache when I try hard to notice, but not realy.
So my question is, does anyone have any positive stories similar to this? I'm pretty much a wreck and I suppose am preparing myself for the worst, but I was just wondering if there is any hope at all.
