I know this is the miscarriage board but I'm worried sick - has anyone been through anything similar with havng a scan and so soon it happening or could there be hope - I'm all over the place!

Thursday I started bleeding but not much - popped to hospital on Friday as I suddenly had a gush when I stood up (sorry tmi) was given an examination and my cervix was still closed. They followed on with a scan and baby was still present with a heartbeat despite some clotting and bleeding still. They said I could go home however 2 hours later at home I had severe contraction type cramps with heavy bleeding and huge clots. Since I woke this morning the bleeding has lessened.

I'm worried sick as I cant be scanned til Monday. My head is all over the place. Has anyone been through anything similar and gone back for a scan and baby still fine or gone through it and unfortunately the worst came true?

I'm petrified of being scanned again and being told the worst. I'm 9 weeks

Hi. I don't have much to offer but just wanted to say I hope everything goes well at your scan.
I had bleeding in my first pregnancy and my son is now 3, I've since had 4 miscarriages including a missed miscarriage that I'm currently off with, some I had bleeding some none. Not sure any of that helps.
Good luck for tomorrow

Just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts and will be tomorrow. Bleeding is terrifying, but it is common in pregnancy. Although it could sadly be a miscarriage, I do know of people who have bled throughout their pregnancy and have not lost the baby x

Bad news, I'm afraid. Although, I expected it. My symptoms seemed to have disappeared and as silly as it sounds my stomach felt flatter. I'm actually coping with it better than I thought I would. I was pretty much expecting it when scanned. I've not yet cried and I'm unsure if it's because I feel numb or if it'll be a delayed reaction...

As much as it is awful and I am heartbroken - totally. I'm also thankful to a degree that it happened so early on and not in the later stages and that I already have healthy children. It wasn't planned although now I know I do really want another at some point in the future.

The nurse who scanned me was absolutely lovely and so reassuring. She even said If in the future we go on to have another that if I'm worried I could directly ring her to fit in for an early scan for reassurance.
