I sadly suffered my first miscarriage over the weekend, this would of been dc no3 for myself and my husband. I started bleeding on sat night and after a trip to the drs where a test showed I was still positive, I was booked in for a scan on the Sunday. I started bleeding more with clots overnight so knew that baby was gone, at the hospital the mw's were lovely, but still trying to reassure me even when the internal scan showed a sac and no baby. Telling me that I must have my dates wrong and that a follow up scan a week later would prove that I had miscarried, pregnancy test still showing positive. At no point did they believe me when I said I knew exactly how pregnant I was (7+2 and that a baby would of been visible) or did they tell me how a natural miscarriage would work. If it had not of been for a very close friend and google I would of been panicking, the cramping pains were very similar to contractions but with no break, the bleeding was as heavy as after I had had my children. I am so cross and upset with the mw's for not explaining what could happen, if I had not had any children, the blood loss alone would of terrified me. Apparently I need blood tests,2 a week apart to check my hormone levels are going down, have not had these mentioned at all! I am armed ready for my second scan on Sunday, I have passed the sac and bleeding is much lighter, i say it again it should not have been a friend and google who had to explain miscarriage and what happens to you. Sorry needed to vent, and please feel free to correct or add info for any lady going through a miscarriage. Xxxx (excuse the grammar, am utterly shit at it:))
