On Sunday I was 11+5 with my first pregnancy. I went to the toilet and found brown blood discharge in my underwear. Having kept very well, and had no bleeding so far, this came as a little bit of a shock so I called the Early Pregnancy Unit at the hospital for advice. I was told to wear a pad and monitor the bleeding but was assured that this can be quite common around the 12 week mark as the hormone levels drop and the placenta takes over. Later in the evening I started bleeding red blood and I totally panicked so rushed to A&E. I ended up being put to the gynaecology ward to wait and seen a doctor five hours later. She gave me an internal examination and said that there was blood but my cervix was still tightly closed which meant that at that moment I wasn't miscarrying. She also echoed the advice about the placenta taking over. I got sent home and the doctor advised I should get a scan on Monday for peace of mind. I ended up having an internal scan as my bladder wasn't full enough for an abdominal one and after a few moments we knew something was wrong. The gestational sac was fully formed and the correct size but the fetus was tiny wee and has stopped growing very early on. A MMC. The sac was an irregular shape and was starting to collapse, which suggests the bleeding I had on the Sunday night was my body starting to realise something was wrong and the very early beginnings of a miscarriage. The midwife gave us lots of information about my different options and I felt completely numb as to what to do next. I started bleeding heavily on Monday night however and naturally passed the sac and lots of clots. The bleeding has really slowed now so imagine everything that needed to come out, has. Sunday night gave us a warning that something might be wrong but I'm so glad we had the scan and found out about the fetus before the heavy bleeding started this evening. Yesterday was supposed to be my booking scan and I was supposed to be going into work today with happy news before coming off for Christmas, however I've just had to call my boss and let them know what has happened and that I have been signed off until Christmas, meaning I won't return until the new year. My and my OH's hopes, plans and dreams for the near future have been shattered by this and we are heartbroken.
