Hi all. TMI alert...
I have 1 DS, no other pregnancies. My period was 4 days late (very unusual, can almost set my watch to 27.5 days...).
I had pain from period due time and wore pads... nothing. I was due Christmas morning (joy!). Travelled to Scotland on Tuesday, still nothing, just mild ache. Light bleeding started on Wednesday with almighty back pain - I joked 'no sibling for J this month". Thought nothing of it - we use condoms and are not trying for a baby.
Period was reasonably light but on New Years Day evening I had a bad cramp, went to the loo, wiped and in the tissue was a mass of blood that was the shape of an embryo - about 2cm long, C shaped, dark spot that looked like the eye area and I could see 1 part extending from the side (like the start of an arm?). I looked in horror at it as it was just like the pictures you see in the books but it was a bloody mass. Is that what it would look like? I guess I would have been 5 weeks gone (or 9 weeks from previous period which was strange and painful).
Very graphic description, I'm sorry.
I didn't have any symptoms like my first pregnancy although I was nauseous for the week I was due on - but no painful breasts.
I'm remaining calm as I believe things happen for a reason and we weren't trying - but should I see a doctor? Is it worth even bothering them?
Thanks in advance
