Hello all,
Well I was hoping I would be the odd story that people quoted about bleeding not necessarily being a bad thing. Sadly, not to be my story.
Having had two EPU scans in weeks 6 and 7, I lost my baby at six this morning. Since gist before my 6 week scan, I had been bleeding - not much it has to be said - each day. At my 7 week scan they had been lovely and said that I should only go back if it got a lot heavier and was painful.
Everything continued as it had for the following two weeks until last night when it all went horribly wrong. Started bleeding much more heavily at 11pm and decided to go to bed and see how I was in the morning. Woke up at 2am in excruciating pain and spent the following half an hour on the loo as the blood just kept coming. Went back to bed at about three with paracetamol and hot water bottle and woke again at just before 6. Again, another session on the loo, and ended up passing the sac, which was shocking physically but by then I had been expecting it.
Went into St Mary's A&E at mid morning and was really looked after. Just home now having had final scan which showed nothing. Apparently I have had a complete miscarriage so they don't think I need to have an EPRC. They think my lovely little bean died sometime after my seven week scan as although I had thought there was a horrific amount of blood, they would have expected more - even whilst I was in hospital - if it had kept growing to 9 weeks.
Feel very strange about it all. Tears keep creeping up on me, but I also feel strangely calm - shock maybe? It seems both very real and very unreal and I really don't know how so many of you lovely ladies have been through this more than once. Although only 9 weeks, the waiting and worrying has made it feel like I've been pregnant for an age. Although I want to try again straight away, i don't quite know how it is possible to go through all of that again.
Sorry for the steam of consciousness - just need to get some of this out if my head.
