hi everyone, well to start with i found i was pregnant on 9th of jan, then i found i had a misscarrage on the 23rd i would of been 8 weeks or 12 weeks im not sure as im not sure how far gone i was. But i had heavy bleeding i seen a doctor and they said it sound like i had, and that i seemed very strong and calm about it which inside i was tearing to peices but know i have to accept it so i said ok. but then as weeks passed and i started feeling back to normal, my belly was still getting bigger and about 2 months later, im concerned if i am actually still pregnant cause ive been loosing weight and im size 10 yet my bellys becoming rounder and i feel neasus, loss of appertite, boobs hurt, and having toilet problems.. im i still pregnant or is it possible i have cervical cancer? or is my belly just growing a dead baby?

Can you contact your hospitals early pregnancy unit in the morning and request a scan?

Have you had a period since and have you done a test?

Some people have heavy bleeds and still continue to have a healthy pregnancy.

NomNomDePlum · 14/03/2013 20:29

do a pregnancy test. if it's positive, ring your epu and talk to them.

It's entirely possible to have heavy bleeding and for it not to be a miscarriage - it happened to me when pregnant with both my children. Do a test and get on to GP asap if it's positive.

You need to test again,go back to your gp and demand an appointment to get a scan.
I miscarried at 6 weeks,thought I wasnt pregnant.
Gradually felt more unwell and discovered at 5 months I was still pregnant with twins!I had actually been pregnant with triplets and lost one.
Please please go to your gp,I spent my early pregnancy not looking after myself because I didn't know I was pregnant-luckily both twins were born healthy but i spent the remainder of my pregnancy worried about what possible damage I had done due to prescription drugs,alcohol,poor diet and general lack of care to my body.

Please do. I had a mc, had a scan (internal and external) and it turns out I got pg straight away with a period in between .

Even if the test is neg you need to go to your gp

i havent had sex since as i just didnt want another m/c
so its either not a m/c or im just poorly physicaly or mentaly who knows

OP posts:

southbank · 14/03/2013 20:51

My gp told me there is a very common occurrence called vanishing twin syndrome-a lot of women lose a twin early on but often is not thought of as a miscarriage as they are still pregnant and people think it's a late period or unexplained bleeding which then continues onto a healthy full term single baby.
You cam imagine my shock to discover at my scan that actually there were still two in there!!
And the horror when I realised there were actually 3 originally!!
It really does happen and I have met many mums since that this has happened to,actually a friend was the only surviving child of an initial triplet pregnancy.
Hope you get a happy answer,let us know how you get on xxxx

MustafaCake · 14/03/2013 20:53

Go and see the Dr aswell as doing the test, sounds like somethings up!

Did they not scan you after your m/c in Jan? I thought it was standard procedure to check that everything had passed?

Like loves I got PG soon after a m/c with no period in between, the Dr said it's quite usual as you are v fertile soon after pregnancy.

I hope you get the result you want x

southbank · 14/03/2013 20:56

Mustafa-I was never offered a scan,I bled and was told to go home and let nature take it's course.now obviously I know I should have demanded a scan,but I trusted my gp.

Rroobbyynn · 14/03/2013 20:57

ill let you know how i get on, and aww its still horrible to loose one even if youve had many... and the doctor said its too early on to have a scan as i was only 8 weeks gone, but i might of been 12 but no one knows but will get on it tomorrow and get my mum for surport as i just go quite if im alone and want to say something

same here i trusted the gp as fort they know more then i do

OP posts:

southbank · 14/03/2013 21:01

Glad you are going to go back,yes it was upsetting to lose one but when I said the horror realising it was 3 I meant just sheer panic about what potentially could have been not trying for a baby and then having 3 arrive in one go!!xx

could imagine, my son whos 10 months was planned but this one was not and well i finaly came to accepting it and would of been a single mum with two kids with an age gap of 16 months maybe... and i was exhusted enought just working 40 hours per week, decorating and diy my new place and keeping up with my son never mind being preg and fatigue haha, well congrads on the 2 anyway :) nice to here they are healthy and that it is possible, you would think they would do a check up a few weeks later just to double check you have misscarred as there is cases like this

Hoping all goes well for you OP.

Hi OP - sorry you've been through a tough time. Sounds like you were given rubbish advice by your GP. Did you do a test yesterday?
You do hear about people who miscarry one baby of a multiple pregnancy and one baby survives, but also of women who after the trauma of miscarriage have a 'false' pregnancy and continue to have symptoms. I think either way you probably need a scan to be sure in your own mind what is happening.

hi everyone, i took two pregnancy test today and they said not pregnat, i didnt find time to call the doctors, but i dont know what to say either when i do call and go for an appointment

Bakingtins · 16/03/2013 08:24

I'd still contact your GP - you have symptoms that need to be investigated. Just tell them what you told us.
