Think I'm having a mc- handhold please

[JingleBells89]

6w2d pregnant, started bleeding this morning bright red blood but only when I wiped. Then went to brown discharge but is now back to red blood and am bleeding into a pad.

I previously had a mc at 11&5. On that occasion, I rang 111 and was advised to go to A&E, then had a night in hospital and then a follow up scan a week later to make sure everything had come away.

This time, I don't really want to go to A&E (and am not actually in pain at the moment). At my local hospital, you can only go to epu following a referral from doctor. Due to bank holiday weekend, they won't be open til Tuesday- do you think it'll be ok to wait until then to ring doctors? I'm assuming I'll need a scan to check there's no retained products.

I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through this. The advice I’ve Read is to seek medical help if the bleeding is excessive- more than a pad an hour. So maybe see how it goes tonight?

I had a MC on 28th and read a lot leading up. Lots of people get bleeding some really heavy and their babies are fine. So there is still a chance for you. If you get blood with cramps and clots then that is much more of a worry and you need to get checked ASAP then but otherwise it could still be ok. Apparently over 50% of women who go to epu with bleeding only, go on to have healthy babies. There is some hope for you. Will keep my fingers crossed for you xx

I'm going through some horrific situation
Miscarried 4 days back, I was 8 weeks. I'm struggling to cope with the whole thing. I don't think I'll ever heal from this, it hurts so bad that I can't even eat, all I do is to lie on the floor all day. I've been having suicidal thoughts since this whole thing started...my partner thinks that I'm being selfish but I can't help but feel guilty about it, It feels like it's my fault, I just can't take all of this anymore. Anyone who have went through the similar situation care to help me

It’s really really hard but remember your hormones are all over the place that on top of the traumatic experience shock grief etc it’s going to be hard. There are lots of positive stories on here of people conceiving soon after and having healthy pregnancies so it must get easier at some point. My Be happened 3 days ago and I’m between the bed and the settee don’t feel like doing a single thing. Feel numb and I think it’s all normal. Maybe go see your GP if those suicidal thoughts don’t go away as I’m sure lots of people slip into a depression as a result. Feel for you lots xxx

Let us know how you are getting on jingle bells xx

Thank you for the replies- still no cramps but brown discharge is continuing. Just took a test and it is still showing a strong positive so it's just a waiting game I suppose.

I did have weeks of brown discharge with DC1 (my 2nd pregnancy) but never any red blood. With first pregnancy and this one, symptoms have been very mild (little bit of nausea, no sickness, slightly aching boobs) but with DC1 I had very strong symptoms from days before my period was even due so I think this is why I'm thinking the worse

Sharon I am very sorry for your loss, my previous mc was one of the worst things to happen in my life and I too struggled following it. I know it doesn't help now but it does get easier. Be kind to yourself, you are not selfish and everyone grieves in different ways. This is in no way your fault. Please do try and talk to someone about how you feel (did the doctors give you any leaflets for counselling?)
