Hi all. I'm new to this site, but really need to 'talk'. I should be 8w2d pregnant but just over a week ago started 'spotting'. Went for scan but they said it was too early and so have another appointment on Tuesday.
On Wednesday I started bleeding. Still am. Its not as heavy as my period tends to be, but there is a fair bit of blood and some small clots. Rang hospital but they said as long as no pain to just keep my appointment on Tuesday.
I feel like the obvious explanation is that I'm miscarrying, but I trawl the web focussing on the positive stories. But I'm just kidding myself right?
I'm lucky to have a beautiful son who is 3 and a half. Wish we hadn't waited so long to start trying for a second. It took us 6 months to get pregnant this time. I assume I may not ovulate again for months so we could be looking at 6 months plus to get pregnant again. I just think the age gap between them will then be too much and I'm not even sure I want to risk going through this again. But coming to terns with only having one child when I always imagined 2 - it's so hard. At the heart of all this I trying not to blame my OH who was the one who wanted to wait so long.
Sorry. No real point to this, just letting off steam. I haven't told any family or friends what is happening, it feels too personal.
Thanx for listening!
