Hold in there, this will get easier. Is this your first pg? How many weeks are you?

olympicblues · 19/08/2012 13:11

Im sorry, are you at home alone, is there anyone you can ring?

Weeyun · 19/08/2012 13:17

I'm so sorry. I don't have anything helpful to say at all, just really didn't want to leave you thinking nobody's listening. Did I see you on the other thread saying you're scared to go to the epu? Please don't worry about that, I'm sure your's will be a lot better than that, do you have someone to go with you?

babyjames · 19/08/2012 15:55

Started spotting Friday and now bleeding properly :( got to wait for the EPU to open tomorrow. Went to hospital and waited most Friday night to be seen but had so many emergencies we came home as I thought if it's going to happen there is nothing they can do. I have one amazing DS who is 2 and took several years to conceive. Doesn't make loosing this baby any less painful though. Thanks for taking time to reply

I was about 7 weeks so very early. I was so happy and excited and feel been cruelly snatched away.

It dies get easier... My mc was end of June and just started TTC. Remember if your concerned about bleeding go to a and e, cant believe they didn't see you quicker.

Haylebop12 · 19/08/2012 16:05

Have you passed any clots yet? I started spotting on the Thursday and passed everything Saturday night.

babyjames · 19/08/2012 16:14

Sorry your going through the same Hayle. No clots yet but lots cramping and blood. Feel quite light headed. Not long till tomorrow now.

Just be prepared, I don't wanna scare you but my bathroom
Was a bit of a mess when I passed all the pg tissue. Mine happened at 1am. I slept on a towel just in case and I needed it.
Take ibuprofen and paracetamol and a hot water bottle is a good idea.
Be prepared to sit on the loo for a couple hours when your passing. Once that's done bleeding really should settle.
Sorry if tmi but i felt as though I was not told enough about the physical side of miss carrying and only how I would feel emotionally. It's distressing but it will get easier. If u wanna cry just do it!

So sorry you're going through this, it's really an awful thing to have to experience. I've had 3 so do know how you feel. I also have a dd who is 2.

I have only had one natural mc (others were mmc) and I was really frightened of what to expect. Haylebop has really good advice although I just wanted to let you know about my experience which was different. I was also just over 7 weeks but for me it was just like a heavy period - heavy bleeding & cramping but I didn't pass anything that was clearly pregnancy tissue (a few small clots but that was it). Physically it really wasnt too bad. I think mc seem to be all quite different (mine definitely were). But I just wanted you to know that they're not always physically difficult. I slept on a towel after having read threads on here but really didn't need too. I just had a scan a few days after the bleeding started and by then everything had gone.

Hope you're doing ok. I was devastated after the last one at the start of July but feeling much better now so I do think the hormones and physical exhaustion add to the trauma of it all.

coffeeandcake · 19/08/2012 19:34

BabyJames so sorry to hear your news. Big hug.

Haylebop12 · 19/08/2012 19:46

Tea, my mmc was at 9 weeks do
I guess that's why I noticed what I passed. Agreed everyone us different. I had very little pain but a lot of blood loss.

Lukethe3 · 19/08/2012 20:30

Hello

Unfortunately I'm joining the club too. I'm 7+4 and have started miscarrying this morning. This is my 3rd m/c but thankfully I already have 2 DS. I had an erpc for my 2 previous ones, but looks like this one will happen naturally. I'm a bit nervous as to what to expect. I've had mild bleeding today and a few small clots but no pain. I'm worried because I run my own business and have to work tomorrow from 8am to 8pm, no other option. I'll just have to get through it. Am hoping that I won't bleed too much or have bad cramps.

Hugs to everyone else going through this, it really is heart breaking.

Thinking of you BabyJames and Lukethe3

I Mcd naturally yesterday. Went up to the hospital but they said there's nothing they could do. I passed baby (9 weeks) and a lot of blood, but there were only mild cramps.

I have my scan tomorrow. Might still need a D&C.

Have you got someone with you? You will probably need someone to talk at and cry with over the next few days and weeks.

babyjames · 19/08/2012 21:58

Child and Lukethe3 sorry to hear you are also experiencing a MC.
Hoping that mu DH work will let him take off tomorrow so he can come with me to hospital. Is a D&C medication child?
Feeling really numb and emotional on and off. So sad we have to experience this. Thanks for taking time to message everyone.

D&c is medical procedure to remove all pg tissue. Generally under anaesthetic. The epu should discuss this with you? I'm guessing. I found out at my 12 wk scan I had mc'd so I was already at hosp.

babyjames · 20/08/2012 10:23

Had bloods today as I insisted. No scans available until tomorrow and have to travel to closest City as home town fully booked until Wednesday. I know the outcome but still torture!

OP posts:
Haylebop12 · 20/08/2012 11:01

Yes I understand. I didn't feel like I was close to the end until I produced a BFN at my follow up. Didbt have to have a scan then. I hope you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Lolcbcb · 20/08/2012 12:59

I'm so sorry you are all going through thisSad
Yesterday it was a month since I mc'd so I know the pain.
Just wanted to send u all hugs x

ChildOfThe1980s · 20/08/2012 20:16

Thank you Lol

I had the scan today and I don't need a D&C - phew.

Hope you are all ok.

RileyLeeHargreaves2012 · 20/08/2012 21:51

I feel for you, its a hard thing. I'm 18 & I've had 2 miscarriages this year one at 23weeks on April 6th baby boy Riley and I'm currently going through one now at 7and a half weeks. Do you need a scan to see if everything passed through? I had 2 d&cs after riley but they only scanned because I was really ill. how are you feeling? X

Haylebop12 · 20/08/2012 22:00

I was told a scan would only be necessary if I still produces a positive test.

Lolcbcb · 20/08/2012 22:48

I was told the same Hayley. I took a pg test and it was negative so it was the end of it. No scan, nothing.

Haylebop12 · 20/08/2012 22:56

Yea so it seems to be across the nhs then. Had my first AF 33 data later and currently TTC cycle 1...
