10 weeks worried possible mc

[Samantha198]

Hi everyone plz any advice would be great. I'm around 10 weeks and currently loosing blood not enough to change pads regular but lost a decent size clot last night too. I lost pregnancy symptoms last week and am booked in for a scan tom but petrified its going to be bad news x

Hello, I am sorry that you are experiencing bleeding, it can be such a worry.
I cannot say to you one way or the other that everything will be O.K. Some ladies experience bleeding as part of their pregnancy and it is normal for them- there are lots of reasons but one is that implantation cause a contusion which bleeds- I think that it is called a subchorionic hematoma.
My friend bled at 11 weeks and the babe was fine and was actually born full term yesterday.
I on the other hand had a bleed that started at 10 weeks and continued for a week and a half before I had a full loss. Unfortunately I trusted my midwife when she said it was perfectly 'normal' and I did not know at the time that I could request an early scan. I think that I would have been more prepared if I could have seen that the little one was not meant to be.
Sometimes the loss of pregnancy symptoms is not always a bad thing, I am currently 24 weeks with my little blessing. I also lost symptoms around 10 weeks after feeling terrible. So this time around I asked for an early scan as I was so nervous, they found that I was a week and a half ahead which correlated with my loss of symptoms.
So, all I can say is try to rest today and tomorrow with luck you will see your little one. Do you have someone to come with you?

Thankyou for taking time to reply my partner is coming with me tom for the scan x

Ah that is good, it is definitely much better to have someone with you. I hope that you find that all is well and it was just one of those things. I will be thinking of you and I am sending some Mummy vibes and strength to you. x
