11 weeks bleeding after previous mmc

[Lrr31]

Hey

I’ve been reading threads since I found out I was pregnant again in July and find it reassuring/helpful so I wanted to post myself.

I had a mmc in March this year, the development had stopped around w5/6 and I realised something wasn’t right around week 9 as my symptoms had gone and I’d had a little bit of spotting. I went for a private scan and it confirmed something wasn’t right, I then went to the early pregnancy unit where they told me I had to wait two weeks in case dates were wrong but the Sunday before I had to go (w11) I started to miscarry and passed naturally.

Finding out I was pregnant again in July was bittersweet, I just couldn’t get excited because of what happened last time however things seemly were going fine as I had more symptoms than last time and no spotting etc. Then on Friday (11 + 2) I had pink discharge, my heart filled with dread. Saturday, there was fresh/red blood, albeit not loads. I went to early pregnancy unit - I couldn’t get a scan, which was upsetting as I wasn’t able to have a reassurance scan like I should have due to covid. They offered me an internal scan, took swabs and I went home as the blood had turned brown/seemly stopped.

I’ve woke up and there doesn’t seem to be any new blood, I’m not in pain or anything but I’m so anxious the same thing is happening again. I have my dating scan on Wednesday and I just can’t see it being good news. I just wondered if anyone had experienced anything similar - good or bad news? I’d rather be prepared for the worst...

Thanks

I bled from start to finish on and off in my first pregnancy due to what was eventually diagnosed as a temperamental ectropian- there was never any danger to the baby. I’m currently 12 weeks with number two and the bleeding a been back since around 6 weeks. Had my dating scan earlier in the week and all is well. I’m expecting lots more bleeding to come!

I would try to stay calm and be as optimistic as you can. With both of my healthy pregnancies, I had heavy bleeding around 9-11 weeks. The first one it was just for a day (but a lot of blood). The 2nd one I bled for 2 weeks, sometimes quite heavy. The blood was from my cervix and babies were fine. Sometimes these things just happen. The only time I didn’t have any bleeding was my mmc. I would aim to get a scan this week to give you some peace of mind though.

I had 3 mmc with spotting in each. My 4th pregnancy was successful and I now have a little girl. I bled more in that 4th pregnancy than in the 3 mmc. You just never know what's happening. Good luck for your scan x

Thanks guys, that’s helpful. I’m trying to stay positive as I still have pregnancy symptoms (I think, although I’ve been convincing myself the nausea has been psychosomatic the whole time) and I’m not in pain. Scan is Wednesday so I just need to try not get too worked up. I guess each pregnancy is different and what will be will be, it’s just so hard to be rationale with something like this ☹️

I just wanted to conclude this post, in case anyone reads it at a later date and is in a similar position as I was. All went well with the scan, blood wasn’t visible so they think it was possibly cervix but didn’t have that confirmed.
