I'm having a mc. Hospital or stay home?

I was 11 weeks and the mc started weds night. Bleeding got heavier, cramps etc. a&he on weds night. Scan thurs.

Bleeding now really heavy and painful. Passing large clots which I'm finding really distressing.

I couldn't physically manage a journey to hospital.

What are the options/risks here? I'm worried if I call 111 they'll want me to go in. Do GPs even do house calls now? Would I get antibiotics for an infection or does this need surgical intervention to remove products?

I'm not expecting a diagnosis, but just trying to gather my thoughts here whilst dh is getting the children off to their grandparents for the night. Thanks.

Had a great nights sleep. DH slept on the sofa but no one got up anyway. Feel like the worst is definitely over and that a quiet few days is in order.

I really appreciate this messages of support. Thanks all x

I presume you will be staying home for a few days Dye

you may not feel like eating but try and keep your energy up - honey is such good food if you can't stomach anything else.

try and sleep whenever you feel like it. your body and soul went/is going through a trauma and shock, don't be surprised if you feel exhausted.
don't fight it, but take it easy and look after yourself.

Thanks

Morning. Yes stayed at home. Sure it was a wise decision. Yesterday was fine. Bleeding but no pain worse than period.

Rescan on Thursday. I can't believe there'd be anything left to remove though.

We have booked cleaners to come in today and I'll go to my parents whilst they're here. My parents are looking after our dogs, and the kids are at school/their Dads until tomorrow so it's rest all the way now! Thanks
