Pregnant and bleeding

I'm 12 weeks pregnant and waiting in a walk in centre to see a GP. I have a thread in Pregnancy, but thought I might get more responses here.

I started bleeding a week ago, but today it's much heavier and red. I've got a splitting headache and my temps a bit high. The nurse said they can't do much, they don't scan here. I'm worried the GP is going to say the same and u just need to go home bleeding, not knowing what's going on.

Has anyone experience of this? Can I ask to have an internal, or a scan elsewhere, or go to the early pregnancy unti to be checked out? I don't know what to do, bit scared.

Unmumsnetty hugs (((( worried )))) it is very final to see a negative test. Sad

I wish I could say sorry to my baby that I couldn't carry it safely until it was grown I think you might find it helpful to do this by writing a letter to your baby, or releasing a balloon, or buying a charity gift in baby's honour, or commissioning a piece of memorial jewellery, or any of a hundred other way to covey that something important has been lost.
The reality is it is very unlikely that this was in any way your fault, much more likely there was a chromosome problem with the baby. Even should it turn out to be a problem with mother rather than baby (I suffer from recurrent miscarriages due to an immune system dysfunction) that is no more your fault than it would be if you had dodgy kidneys or arthritis. Try not to be so hard on yourself.

Hi.
Please speak with miscarriage association or a professional to help you move thru the process of grieving.
I had professional counselling, without it, ds would not be here today.
