To not do anything?

[Shockeddm]

Stunned wouldn't cover it.
Period 2 weeks late, assumed maybe age related - I am 49..
Woke up today with pains... Big pains. Worse than some previous labour's tbh.
Hobbled round getting sorted as had to go to work.

Big pain saw me rushing to the loo.
Passed a big clot and lots of fresh blood!!
Same waves of sickness and pains as a mc I had at 45!!
Aibu to not seek medical advice?
Bleeding eased off. Stomach swollen and sore. Didn't see anyone last time, just took paracetamol and did inform MW as had booked in and had first ante natal (8 weeks along)
Need to decide if I tell dh.. He has a lot on and he will be upset he wasn't here. - I was alone last time also.
Don't use contraception as GP told me last time doubtful I would conceive at 45.. Certainly not at 49 I assumed!
Any advice? Don't want to hear about aunties having twins at 50 though!

I would at least get checked out at a walk-in-center, to me it's not worth the risk of ignoring a potential miscarriage

Hope you're ok OP

I’d get checked out, just to confirm what’s going on.

Definitely get checked. Personally I would tell DH.

You poor thing, horrible to go through and a big shock. I know no one who’s had babies at 50 if that helps.

I’d say it’s worth getting checked out, it might be something else entirely, so just get a medical opinion and then you can hunker down and process it. I’d tell him, maybe when he’s back unless you want to talk to him today. It’s entirely up to you but you deserve an understanding ear from him and it’s not like you planned to go through this while he was away is it.

for you

A friend of a friend did go to GP with what she assumed to be menopausal issues - which turned out to be twins, born around the time of her 50th.
Very much wanted, she'd had several miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies in the past and been told she would not be able to conceive (medical issues rather than age).
However , also at around 49/50 I had problems with heavy periods and passing plate sized clots of blood. I thought it was OTT to go to A&E, but did and was admitted to a ward and kept in for three days. Not remotely pregnancy related.

In your position I would seek medical advice - and expect my husband to be supportive

That sounds very frightening.
Definitely go and get checked out, it could be any number of things some more serious than others.

I would get checked out, it could be any number of things and I would want HCPs to assess me.

I'd also tell my H.

Get medical help, it could be a cyst that has burst.

Good luck

Hope you’re okay OP.

Do get it checked. I'm late 40s and had a cyst burst recently, I've also had various mc . It could be either and other possibilities. Better to know what's what. Better for your h to get the chance to support you. Be factual, period all over the place and that you're in pain. Sure he might be upset but he can't be around 24/7 That he can help going forwards is important x

Best to get yourself checked out. Hope you're ok, I would tell your OH. Look after yourself

Sounds traumatic, it would be worth getting checked in case you've retained anything inside (sorry to soubd so matter of fact)

Hope all is ok

You should definitely get checked, it may not have even been a miscarriage. There could be something else going on.
