Calling all ladies to share stories where they spotted/bled before miscarrying some time later

[purpleviolet1]

Looking for ladies to share their stories in regards to spotting in pregnancy which has been followed up by a positive scan but pregnancy has later resulted in miscarriage

I feel that when there is spotting, it usually indicates a problem. I have often read about ladies who have had a scan straight after the spotting and all appears ok but some time later, they go on to miscarry.

This happened in my experience. I spotted between weeks 5-6 and had a scan at 5 weeks and again at 5+6 and all was ok and they picked up a heartbeat. I did get a tiny bit of discharge again but they assured me it was ok. At 11+6 I had a scan where they discovered no heartbeat. Baby measured 8+3.

So sorry for everyone's losses 😢

I had brown spotting early on in 2nd pregnancy. Had scan at 6 weeks. Heartbeat was seen but bubba was low and area of bleed seen. Had repeat scan a week later, had no more bleeding or spotting, bubba was doing fine and growth was perfect.

At 10 weeks I woke up in middle of night covered in blood. Had a massive bleed. Scan next day showed bubba had somehow stayed put and growth bang on for dates.

Had another massive bleed 2 days later. Again, scan next day showed bubba kicking legs and blissfully unaware. I however was severely anaemic and feeling poorly.

Had private scan 2 days later and devastatingly there was no heartbeat 💔

Ended up having 2 surgical managements 3 weeks apart. Kept on bleeding. Spent most December in hospital haemorrhaging. Finally, after very nearly bleeding to death, was diagnosed as having had a cervical ectopic pregnancy. Had emergency surgery and sutures to blood vessels in cervix. Very scary few months. Am fortunate to still be here to be a mummy to our DS.

First pregnancy was textbook. Second pregnancy felt different and worrying from the start.

Here's hoping for healthy, straight forward pregnancies in the future x
