I have no idea but (as you know) am waiting for this myself. I have been given the number of the ward at the hospital which deals with this and have been told to contact them when the bleeding starts and with any questions.
Are you able to phone the relevant ward at your hospital? Are you worried that it isn't happening as it should?

hello i am sorry for your loss

i had a mc a few years back at 12wks. the start was very similar to what you describe, but i had a D&C a couple of days later.
from the time i found out with a scan until a slot was available for the surgery i had been told that should i start bleeding 'excessively' and with cloths that i should go to A&E.
i would seek medical help if nothing else its very traumatic to endure such blood loss. besides imo it's better to make sure your womb is 'clean'
i am sorry if the wording upset you but i would seek help take care. so sorry

Thanks for your replies. have called my epu, who said it sounds to much and to go down there. i jsut dont want to be making a mountain out of a mole hill. plus im at work which is 1.5hrs away, a friend is looking after the boys as the nanny called in sick. such a bad time to start thinknig about the blood loss.

That's a pain. I would go though, just to be on the safe side. It isn't making an undue big deal about it - it's best to be checked.
Good luck.

i have appt for scan on friday so if i can ill hold out til then.
hopefully it will have slowed down.
i was jsut hoping someone else had this aswell to put my mind at rest.
