Please Please ...I need you advice

[Nelli30]

Hi , a week ago I found out that I was 5wks pg, today I am bleeding. At first it was a little bit, now its quite a bit not loads but definately worse. I am distraught. What do you think? Am I losing my baby?

go yo gp ,have you any pain? it could be nothing

Please phone your doctor..or NHS direct?

0845 4647

Are you in pain?
How long have you been bleeding for?

Bleeding doesnt always mean that. Get it check checked.

Nelli, do what trace says, or go to A&E maybe, where they can get you to the early pregnacy unit?
dont leave it hun, it might be nothing, but get checked out sweetie x

Thanks - I have just rung my Gp who has arranged a scan for monday - keeping everything crossed, but it doesn't feel good. Thanks for being here

If you cant wait until then just go to A&E.

take it easy over weekend put your feet up, no lifting, i began bleeding at 8 weeks mine was so bad it filled the bed, went into hospital, they said i had lost and wanted to do a d&g i wanted to wait until i had scan, glad i did i have a ds whos 3.5, he was a twin, but if they had there way he would not be here now,

so i will keep my fingers crossed for you

but if you get any pain go to a& e , or if you carnt wait, please keep us imformed

I hope everyhting is OK. I had bleeding when pg with ds2 at about 5 wks too and was convinced I'd lost the baby as the bleeding continued for several days. A very early scan, after a trip to A&E showed that all was fine, so just wanted to reassure you that it doesn't necessarily mean anything. Very often the bleeding is unexplained, try not to worry.

Also had bleeding with ds1, at about 6mths pg and was kept in hospital but again they could find no reason for it and everything was fine.

Before ds1 I miscarried at about 6 wks and that bleeding was very heavy and with very painful cramping.

If you are worried I would agree with those who suggest going to A&E, although they may not have scan facilities over the weekend so you may have to wait until Monday anyway.

I know how worried you must be, been through it twice, but will be praying for the best for you.

Will do - thank you

can I just ask (sorry for hijack), but the bleeding that wasn't a miscarriage - did you also have lots of clots? Only I was 5 weeks pg yesterday and started bleeding but with lots of clots, so have assumed I have miscarried. no pain at all. Have spoken to docs, and they say (while very sympathetic) not to come in unless it is very painful or I get a high temp.

catgirl, in my case the bleeding that wasn't a miscarriage did not have clots. I hope you haven't miscarried. Did the doctor think you have?

When I did miscarry the doctor said it is very very common and nowadays, beacause of all the pregnancy kits people know when they are pregnant, and therefore if they miscarry they also know whereas previously an early miscarriage may have been regarded as a late period.

Hope you are not feeling too horrible.

So sorry to hear you are going through the same thing catgirl. I have spoken to 2 doctors and looked at loads of info on the internet, and I think the outcome is that nobody really knows. I have no pain , but continuous bright red bleeding, no clots, but I do feel something is happening. Only time will tell. am feeling quite horrible, so let down and disappointed. I hope you make it catgirl! we are just going to try to get through this weekend and then I got a scan booked at hospital to see whats happening. Have you spoken to your GP?

thanks Saadia and Nelli30 - to be honest, when I re-read my post it does sound like I am clutching at straws! Nurse said it sounded like a miscarriage, and there was nothing they could do unless I was in a lot of pain or started to get ill - I am neither. Bleeding seems to have nearly stopped now, so that is good. Agree re early pg tests, but this is like no period I have ever had, so would figure something was wrong even if I hadn't tested.

Nelli30 - good luck with your scan - I will keep you in my thoughts. (computer at home has packed up, so had to wait to get to work to check/answer)

how did the scan go?

Hi there everyone. Sad news, went to the hospital today and the scan confirmed the miscarriage. Just feel horrible. Thanks for all your thoughts and support. I was so sure this was the right time for us. I guess you just never know. Keep erupting into tears. Why did this happen? and why did this have to happen to us? x

So sorry for you Nelli (((((hugs)))))

Nelli30 - so sorry

So sorry

Sorry, Nellie .

So so sorry Nelli30, that's really sad, thinking of you.

Sorry Nelli.

I have no experience but there are lots of MNers that will be able to offer advice/thoughts. Keep posting.

Hi Nellie, Just saw this thread and wanted to come on and say how sorry I am for your loss. I (alongside many other MNers) have been where you are now and my thoughts are really going out to you at this sad time.
I asked the same qtn you are asking, "Why and Why me?". I spent a lot of time talking to my DB, who is a dr and had also lost one and he just kept telling me that it's no one's fault, don't blame yourself, it just happens. It just wasn't meant to be. I'm so sorry, i hope this helps just a tiny bit. You go ahead and cry.
Catgirl, not sure if this is any help to you, but on my 2nd prgy I bled in the early stages and went on to have a healthy boy. It doesn't always mean the worst.
Big hugs to you both.

Nelli my thoughts are with you at this sad time. I lost nov 05 at 9wks and understand your upset. Don't blame yourself its nothing you have done its just natures way. I can say it does ease over time...hope you and your partner find comfort in each other and MN is also a great source of comfort and support. Take good care of yourself and rest x
