Please help...desperate

[thelittlestsausage]

Sorry for posting on here...I feel so desperate l just need other people to tell me this is fine.

I'm 18 weeks, 2 mcs previously. I'm so ready for this baby and saw him yesterday in scan kicking his legs and sucking his thumb. I talk to him every day. I imagine what he will be like and I've bought far too much stuff for the nursery already. My family are over the moon. Dh is ready to be daddy.

Tonight I came home and went to the toilet. Slight watery pink bleeding. Exactly how my two mcs started. I've been lying in bed since. I'm terrified. I can't lose another baby and especially as I've seen this little one is already my baby boy, I've counted his toes on scans, I've felt him do little flips.

Feeling lost.

You can’t just be expected to carry on as normal especially after what you’ve been through already. I would insist on being seen if I were you. I can understand why you are worried. Did they they give any possible explanation for the bleeding? FWIW I had a lot of bleeding with one of my pregnancies from a sub chorionic haematoma (I had a lot of bleeding) and my baby was fine.

Fingers crossed for you xx

Just checked and am now just having slight browny watery discharge (sorry for tmi). So must be old blood now although I've been lying down for hours now so maybe I should walk around a bit... god this all sucks...

Try to stay calm

Given your history, it is reasonable to go into hospital (ante natal rather than ED). So head there now, if you are not yet on your way. You need advice from medical professionals rather than us

No advice but I'm keeping everything crossed for you. I know exactly what you mean about taking it personally. Life is a bitch sometimes no matter how nice you are. Be kind to yourself and best of luck .

Please try not to worry and see if you can get into the EPU tomorrow. I’ve had two healthy pregnancies and 1 mc. I had much more bleeding with my healthy pregnancies than with my mc. I mean gushing bleeding with one and two weeks of heavy bleeding like a period with the other. I can be just one of those things. In both cases, the bleeding was from my cervix and had nothing to do with baby, who were kicking away quite happily unaware of all my worry. Rest and take care of yourself but please try not to worry. 90% of pregnancies that experience bleeding go on to be perfectly fine healthy babies.

Thanks again everyone.

I'll ring again. She was so adamant on the phone that she wasn't worried I think I hoped she was right and then have lay here worrying more...

@thelittlestsausage - hope that's the end of it for you. Have lots of rest and see someone in the morning.

Please try to stay calm. I’m sure it’s nothing to panic about. Your miscarriages were in the first trimester when it is most likely to happen so please be assured that you have heard baby on Doppler and it is more than likely nothing to worry about. Call midwife tomorrow or pregnancy unit if they won’t see you now and stress how much you are panicking, they should scan you for peace of mind. I’m sure everything is absolutely fine. I have bled slightly through both my healthy pregnancy’s and have two DC fast asleep in their beds to show for it so please hold onto the fact a lot of women do experience some bleeding x

*I mean the end of the bleeding, obviously.

I had 2 mc and bled all through my pregnancy. It is surprisingly normal. Fingers crossed it all goes ok.

Did they say where the placenta is? I bled throughout my successful pregnancy from 6 to 36 weeks- the placenta was low. Really hope all is ok

Hope you are okay.

You are not being punished. There is nothing so wrong with you that you deserve this! Please believe this!

I don't have much to give, in the way of advice, but here is a hand hold and a hug.

For you,

Another here hoping all is ok op

it doesn't matter what she is adamant about she has not seen you on this particular occasion before insist on being seen

Hoping all is well. I got bleeding to such an extent I didn't realise I was pregnant until 14 weeks, it doesn't mean anything bad necessarily. Go to the hospital if you are worried, but unfortunately there's not really anything else they can do other than telling you to rest.

I bled on and off throughout my pregnancy, it can be normal. Really hope it's nothing.

Just another one to say I had bleeding in all of my three pgs - with the first I didnt even know I was pg for four months as I was having heavy (I thought) periods still! With my other two I knew I was pg early on and still had bleeding on and off, sometimes heavy and clotty. It was so scary and hard not to imagine the worst. But I now have three DC to show for it.

I’m keeping everything crossed for you and thinking that surely the doppler heartbeat must mean your little one is doing ok and the blood is something else?

Huge hugs, OP. I know the worry of pregnancy after MCs. It's really tough and i understand that it's so hard not to think the worst, but I'm keeping everything crossed for you.

Keeping everything crossed for you.💐

I didn’t have any bleeding in my first pregnancy but in my second one I had it on and off. It turned out it was due to a low laying placenta.

Everything crossed for you OP.

Previous Multiple MCs here- so totally understand what you are feeling. Honestly, even if you had a scan, as soon as the scan has been and gone you’ll be worrying again. It’s unfortunately just part of having had a previous bad experience. If it helps, my healthy DC pregnancies had bleeding, so heavy in one case that I thought I had MC’d but they are live and healthy. Totally understand you wanting to get it checked out. Won’t offer any medical advice but am sending gentle hugs.

Oh I really hope you are alright littlestsausage, you poor soul. If it were me, I'd get back to bed.

Please go in and be seen. Doesn't matter what the midwife says, this is your body and your baby and you won't be able to sleep tonight if you don't get checked.
