think i'm having my 2nd mc in 6 weeks

Hi

I had a natural miscarriage on 7/7, then after a -ve hpt, found out I was pregnant again last week. After the initial shock of getting pregnant so quickly, I was over the moon, and to be honest, hadn't even considered that I'd have another mc, because I'd been told the last time, it was likely just a one-of, and there was nothing to suggest that it would happen again. Anyway, I started spotting with cramps yesterday, and I'm now bleeding lightly, but with no cramp. I'm just devestated. I've phoned the local maternity unit and I've been told that unless I'm cramping badly/bleeding heavily, then I'm best to stay at home and present at the early pregnancy unit tomorrow. So now I'm stuck at home and I don't know what to do. I want to cry and just wondering why this is happening again

The only thing that is giving me any hope that I'm not going to loose this baby is that I was told at my scan that I had a 'slither' of blood left across my womb after my last mc. I guess I'm just hoping that this has somehow started to move and that's what's causing the bleeding. I think v v unlikly given that I was cramping yesterday, but it's all I've got.

Anyway, no real questions, just felt that I needed to get this out.

HI Skinnymalinky

When I was pregnant with my DS (now a happy little 2 year old), I also had spotting and some pain at about 6-7 weeks. I'd had 2 MCs before so I was absolutely convinced it was happening again. It wasn't. Pain and bleeding does often mean miscarriage, but not always. Waiting is the worst part, I know.

Take care,

S

thanks starkadder. it's good to hear something positive. I don't know what to think at the moment. I want to be positive, but I don't want to have false hope, so trying to prepare myself for the worst. I'm just wishing now that I'd have asked at my scan what the blood could mean if I got pregnant straight away. I think I was still in a bit of a state of disbelief then, so couldn't really think straight. oh well, guess it's just a waiting game. at least I have my lovely dd and dh to get me through today.

hi i lost in may but got preg again stright away and now 9 weeks preg but i was bleeding a bit a few weeks ago and the scan showed i has a blood above my womb to but they said 50 % or woman they see at epu have the same thing i wish i asked more about it now but it was all to much to take in as we see the heart beat and was told this blood was going to come out still waiting for this to happen but so scared after what ive been through i wish u luck and try not not worry to much i no easier said than done keep in touch let us no how u doing x

thanks emma. that's great that you got pregnant straight away. I started bleeding a lot more this afternoon, so I ended up heading to A&E. I'm glad I did, even though it was good and bad news really. It turns out that despite 4 +ve results - one done by my doc - that I wasn't actually pregnant. They did a test at the hospital and it came back -ve, which the doc said it obviously wouldn't have done if I was having a miscarrige. I'm fairly disappointed, but trying to stay positive, as at least it's not another miscarriage. I think I would have had a hard time accepting that two miscarriages in a row were a fluke, and would probably have worried non-stop that there was something else wrong.

Interestingly, the doc that I seen today told me that it would have been very unlikely that I would have been able to pregnant after my miscarraige, as the blood that was left in my womb would have made implantation almost impossible. I just wish the epu midwife had told me that - it would have saved a lot of effort (!) and heart-ache. anyway, that's me onto a fresh cyle, the blood should clear with this period, so nothing to stop me trying again this month. will keep my fingers crossed for myself :)
