Feeling worried

Hiya I'm new on here just felt I needed someone to speak to as I haven't told anyone at all that I'm pregnant except my partner and mum, I've had 5 miscarriages before I had my 2 sons and this is my first pregnancy since.. and now all the worry and anxiety that comes with pregnancy is hitting me hard. I had a scan 2 weeks ago that showed a heartbeat and that I was 6 weeks whic was all fine but when I wiped yesterday There was blood, nothing more since but I've now convinced myself that I'm having a missed miscarriage, I don't feel pregnant anymore and it's really hard to focus on anything other than not knowing what's going on. I should be 8 weeks now but can't stop worrying over everything. I've gone from feeling sick non stop, having really sensitive smelling to nothing (have just been sick when I brushed my teeth but that's nothing)
I have my consultant next Wednesday just don't know how I'm going to hold it together until then 🙁 Anyone feel this way?
Sorry for rambling on

Rebecca
With your history can you self refer to epu or get your GP to?? Jeepers my dear I feel so sorry for you. What an incredible amount of stress for you. Stay positive, you saw a hb so your odds are good I think. Please, please ring someone in the morning. I walked around like a zombie when I was in your shoes so completely understand what you mean about not being able to function properly without knowing what is happening. I hope you get seen tomorrow and that it is positive news. There is a great thread called staying positive when pregnant after a miscarriage, loads of lovely ladies who have stood in your shoes as such and are incredibly supportive and kind. All the best.

Thank you for taking your time to reply, I went to the gp yesterday and because I hadn't bled anymore there's not a lot they can do, and Epu can see me next Wednesday the same day as my consultant 🙁 Kind of rubbish really. Have thought about a private scan but then I think a private scan you want good news and right now I'm not feeling like that's what I'm going to get, I'll have a look at that post now thank you 😊 x

Hi Rebecca - yes, come and join us on the thread Smile

We all understand the paranoia after previous miscarriages, but on the whole it is a nice positive thread that offers a lot of reassurance and support.

I think if it was a tiny bit of the blood and a one-off this doesn't sound too alarming. I think you would either have more blood and miscarry or not. I'd phone your EPU direct and ask if they'll see you. If not, then it may well be worth paying £70–£100 for a private reassurance scan. I did at 10 weeks when I realised that I was going to be insane with worry by 12 weeks!

I had 4 mc then my DS then 2 following Sad
I totally get how you're feeling and I'm sure you know that it's out of your hands, it's a case of watch and wait for your next appointment. Just take it easy, do anything to make the time pass quickly. Hoping it's a sticky one for you Flowers

Thank you, suppose that's a good way to look at it. It's completely out of my hands sadly, just wish I knew what was happening today not in another 6 days 🙁
