Can anyone please give me some advice - I am going mad here!

Last weekend I experienced some light bleeding and back ache so I was booked in for a scan on Tuesday. I thought I was 12 weeks pg. When I had my scan I was told the dates don't match up and that I am showing as 7+3 and therefore I am probably having a delayed miscarriage. I was sent home with pain killers and told that bleeding accompanied by pain would begin that day or the following day. I still haven't experienced any heavy bleeding, my back ache has gone but I am still spotting. I am so confused as to what is happening. I have been told I have to wait until Tuesday to have a re-scan but as every day goes by I get more and more hopeful that everything will be ok and I really don;t want to get my hopes up.

I cried a lot on Tuesday but now I just want to get it all over and done with and TTC again. Has anyone else experienced a miscarriage like this? This was going to be my first baby so I am quite clueless about the whole thing.

Lorla - just wanted to say thinking of you for tomorrow and wondering how you are. If things havent happened naturally for you yet I would consider a d&c. I went for the medication route and ended up having to stay in the labour ward overnight with the possibility of going through it all again the next day. It was truly awful, thankfully things came away in the middle of the night so I could go home the next day but it was horrid. The midwives said to me that they would always choose a d&c over what I was going through. I was scared of the op but at least it is over quickly.

You will be worried naturally next time you conceive - the first scan is really scary but fingers crossed all will be well for you - best of luck tomorrow.XX
