Hello. Newbie to this board, so please bear with me. Recovering from a miscarriage this week, fourth in a row this time at 10wks. So I'm in a fragile state at best.
Currently have an adorable DS who is four. He generally keeps good health, but took him to the doctors a few weeks back as he seemed to be having a lot of bruising to his legs. Couldn't relate it to anything he was doing in the house, and when pressed the nursery they couldn't explain them either.
Doctor didn't seem overly concerned, put it down to typical rough boy behaviour (which was generally where I was too!) but made a referral to our local hospital for blood tests just to be on the safe side. He asked me to pop a urine sample in for testing too.
Popped the urine sample in, surgery calls back to say there is protein in the urine and they would be fast tracking the hospital appointment.
Appointment is Monday and I'm panicking.
More bruises are coming and going, and everyone I see I feel like I'm having a panic attack. I feel sick and struggling to control my anxiety.
I know a lot of this will probably be miscarriage related, and the fear of losing my DS too. Logically there is probably nothing to worry about, but I can't help thinking the worse.
Hasn't helped DS suffered a perforated eardrum with an ear infection this week too, queue several trips to A&E and out of hours doctors.
I really need a handhold right now. DH doesn't want to talk about it, so don't have an outlet to share or provide reassurance.
