So sorry for what you are going through. It is really hard and it takes a while to get a real outcome (for good or bad). When we were on hols, I had sudden bleeding at 15 weeks, having had 3 previous 10lb plus live borns (the bleeding was quite bad, running out of my trousers and all over when I got to the loo). No pain. Got blue lighted to hospital, and I was told that I had lost my baby. Very sad, but accepting. Was sent to hospital back home the next day to have a D & C, they did a scan (thank god) before it happened, and they found a heartbeat high up, but most of my lower womb wall was in a sorry state, it had sort of dissolved (I do not know medical term). My son clung on, and was delivered early-ish at 37 weeks. I hope the same miracle can happen for you. My only thing that I would say is thank god they scanned me. I am hoping for the best result for you, it is a horrible time xx

Hang in there, mama and baba. Try to get some sleep, easier said than done I know. Flowers

Wake your husband up - 'He is really supportive; he’s asleep next to me, but he deserves to rest, as I know how upset and worried he is too x'

he does not need nor deserve sleep any more or less than you.

he will not want you lying there in tears !!!

make the phone call, cry down the phone to the nurse - she does not mind !

but personally, i would be in the car on my way to a&e they said to go if you bled more or if you couldn't cope - well you are in tears so that is not coping.

I just feel so useless and defeated. I’ve let my baby down

You absolutely have not let your baby down op. I agree with @OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon wake your dh up for some support and comfort x

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 20/08/2024 02:01

' when I do 111 online it says I can have a nurse call me, but I just can’t bring myself to physically speak to someone on the phone about it without tearing up and a nurse doesn’t really need to hear me bawl my eyes out '

and your husband whom you have now woken and told him that you are making this phone call, can take over the conversation if needed.

avignon1234 · 20/08/2024 02:01

You really have not let your baby down, you have done everything right, you could not have wanted this baby more, you have done everything you can. You might still be OK too so don't forget that, try to sleep and face tomorrow. It is really really hard I know xxxx

YourBusyTurtle · 20/08/2024 02:02

I just don’t want to burden anyone

Just a few more hours and you can have a scan. Thinking of you OP and sending best wishes xx

You won't be burdening anyone. 111 are there for help and support and can tell you the best cause of action. and like @OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon has said your dh won't want you in tears whilst he is sleeping. Please don't lay there and suffer through this worry on your own x

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 20/08/2024 02:05

burden who ?
your husband whose child you are carrying !
a nurse in a hospital who is working - thus it is her job
a&e - well that is what there are there for !

You have got past the first trimester. The risk of miscarriage at 15 weeks is actually quite low. Lots of us have had bright red bleeds and healthy babies. You are not letting your baby down. Try not to think of it that way. Best for you and your baby to get some rest. Tomorrow will be better xx

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 20/08/2024 02:07

your scan is not booked until tomorrow evening, you haven't said what time - but lets say it's 5pm as that is evening ?

that is 15 hours away !!!

I just want at least one of us to rest and not be upset for a moment x

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 20/08/2024 02:09

have you woken him yet ?
have you phoned the nurse yet

maybe when your husband is awake he will decide that you will just go straight to a&e

I know and ever since I had my MMC with my first pregnancy every week is just more and more anxious and then you think you’re clear once you get to 12 weeks and it all just goes to crap

I’m just led here crying trying to motivate myself to go to the bathroom to check the bleeding
