Don't let anyone tell you you're being hysterical, soured. If it were their wife or daughter passing clots they wouldn't hesitate to investigate.

stephie101 · 04/08/2013 22:05

soured not hysterical....not at all...i would be shitting myself....when i had my ep i was rushed in by ambulance to be told i had constipation after being treated twice with the jab.....5 days later i collapsed....they fail to understand this is your body, your little bean..... (stephie goes to the cupboard to get her steal toe caps out)

Thank you all. I'm home.

Cervix is tightly shut as it should be but bleeding is coming from the womb not the cervix as first thought. As its very red blood and small clots she can't be certain all is well so I have a scan booked for Wednesday but can ring tomorrow and Tuesday to see if there are any cancellations

Thank you all again I'm so so grateful for the well wishes

Ignore them, Soured. Who cares if they think you're being hysterical. Push for that scan so you can go home with your mind at peace.

They don't have anyone there at this time of night to scan people. They're double booked for the next two days too so earliest they could do was late Wednesday morning. I'm going to be an utter mess

Sorry you have to wait so long. Take it easy over the next couple of days.

PramQueen1971 · 04/08/2013 22:50

I thought emergencies took precedence over bookings? Bloody preposterous. I'm praying for you, Soured. Weren't you told at your last scan(s) that there was no bleeding around the womb?

Rockchick1984 · 04/08/2013 22:52

Soured I'm so sorry you're going through this! Would you consider paying for a private scan so it could be done tomorrow? It would probably technically be better to wait til Wednesday as that way its had time to stop/for anything to happen, but I know there's no way I could wait!!

LyraSilvertongue · 04/08/2013 22:54

Anyone know why antenatal clubs don't appear in 'threads i'm on'?

Rockchick1984 · 04/08/2013 22:54

Pram if its at the EPU the majority of appointments are because of emergencies, unless its one which only offer drop in appointments.

Yes I was pram which has now got me worried

No point paying privately. If I've miscarried a couple of days isn't going to make a difference. Yes i would know sooner but it's the same department who would deal with my aftercare so may as well have it all dealt with in one place

Damn, just as I posted that, there it is. Doesn't work on my phone though. Maybe an app glitch.

And yes the EPU is for women like me and also women with prior mc's so all are 'urgent'

OP posts:
SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 04/08/2013 23:36

Much as it galls me to say it, if the EPU is double booked, then I'd say that it is doing as much as it can, for as many women as it can in similar situations. I totally understand your stress though, the not knowing is an absolute killer. I am on total tenterhooks about my own scan. After the MC, there is a big part of me that just doesn't believe that everything will be ok. Take heart in the fact that once you see a heart beat, the risk of MC is greatly reduced. Its all we can do.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 04/08/2013 23:37

Mind you, ringing for a cancellation, early morning, late morning and early afternoon starting tomorrow morning probably wont hurt either. Wink

JK10 · 04/08/2013 23:39

jbrd so so sorry, sending u lots of love and wishing u lots of luck. Take care.

soured wow, what a total nightmare, u poor thing, Wednesday is gonna seem like such a long way off for u. Let us all know how u are tomorrow, we are all thinking of u and wishing all well.

What a rubbish day on here.

Exactly saggy and they're so bloody lovely up there it's hard to be cross or pushy about things

I hope your scan goes well

Thanks again guys for the hand holding

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 05/08/2013 00:19

They are lovely. I would definitely ring regularly for a cancellation though, they are bound to get one.
Im there first thing Tuesday, short fat and speccy, clutching a kindle and biting my nails, feel free to wink, smile or mutter "pombears" under your breath if you happen to be there! Wink

LyraSilvertongue · 05/08/2013 00:25

currently munching on parsley to try to beat the tiredness. its full of vitamin C, iron, folate, potassium, calcium and vitamin A (the safe kind). It also seems to be helping with the nausea but it doesn't taste great.

x0gawjus0x · 05/08/2013 06:54

Sounds horrible lyra lol I had a bagel with philli cheese and tomatoes on for breakfast yummy! Xx

x0gawjus0x · 05/08/2013 06:55

Just wondering how many mg of folic acid are ppl taking x

FrankelInFoal · 05/08/2013 07:00

gawjus you need to be taking 400ug per day. If you are taking a specific pregnancy supplement it will contain the correct amount. You also need 10ug of Vitamin D - both of those are the recommended NHS levels.
