It’s almost 3am, I’m all alone and bleeding

Found out I was pregnant ten days ago.
Very strong thick double line and Clear Blue said 3+

Despite not being with the father I’ve been so excited- posting in baby names and adding to my amazon wish list etc.

I told the father Monday and he wasn’t happy and had spent the best part of this week making me cry (I realise he has to process emotions to so largely left him to it).

I’m usually on 30mg citalopram for anxiety and the dr made me come down to ten (7 days on 20 first) and because of his attitude this week I’ve found coping really hard - I’ve been a nervous wreck and cried every day.

My dating scan is next Thursday 13th.

On Thursday I started with a tiny bit of pale pink discharge, then yesterday was more brown. I’ve woken up now to pinky red and a general feeling of being sick (however no cramping or pain).

I’m lying here alone and despite being 39 I’m terrified and just want a hand hold.
Anyone about? X

Sorry to read you're alone and worried Sad I think some bleeding can be normal although no experience myself. Have you contacted your midwife? I hope everything works out for you Flowers

Handhold here for you!
That really is a crappy situation but all is not lost just rest up. I’d go into hospital and get checked if you get pain or if it’s worse though.
FWIW I bled all the way from 11wks to birth with my eldest. She did arrive prem but I was told several times (and kept in hospital) because I was apparently miscarrying.
There are lots of reasons for bleeding in pregnancy we just only get told about the worst cases.
I really hope you’re ok

Handhold here ! 💕 bleeding isn’t quite common in pregnancy but if it’s enough to fill a pad or you have bad cramps , seek urgent medical attention but for now, try and rest (easier said than done, I know), and talk to your midwife tomorrow if possible xx

GaaaaarlicBread · 08/02/2020 03:07

Bleeding is quite common sorry , typo !

CassidyStone · 08/02/2020 03:08

Oh you poor thing. Can you phone 111 and ask to be assessed by one of the nurses? They may be able to get you an appointment at the early pregnancy unit. Bleeding in early pregnancy doesn't always mean an inevitable loss.

Forget about the father of your baby for now, concentrate on looking after yourself.

I am sorry to hear you're bleeding, but as the other posters have said, please don't automatically think the worst. Take it easy and get some professional advice as soon as you can.
And you are not alone - we're here and thinking of you. I hope you have good news soon. Flowers

Morning lovely. Is there anyone you can call. Or a way you can get to the hospital if you need to (I’m not suggesting you need to go now, but I find it makes me panic less if I have a plan)

Bleeding is common during pregnancy for lots of women and sometimes it’s not a cause for concern.
You could book in for a private scan ASAP if you’re worried or call the Epau or delivery suite if you’re worried

You’re not on your own - we are all here.

LauraPalmersBodybag · 08/02/2020 03:18

There’s lots of good advice here op so I’m sending you love and a hand hold. Rest if you can, and if not why not out a film or something on and have a cup of tea.

It’s so normal to feel small and scared ina situation like this, but I hope you can drive the worry away for tonight Flowers

Sorry you are going through this but as others have said it may not be as bad as you think. EPU at the local hospital should be able to do you a scan - try calling your gp or 111 to see if they can book you in in the morning. Sending positive vibes

Hi there thanks for the lovely messages. I’ve not had my referral to the midwives yet (pregnancy confirmed by blood test Monday).
I don’t live in mainland UK (offshore isles) so we don’t have NHS or 111.

Still no cramping but blood still bright red, not much of it though. I’ll keep an eye.

Thanks for the handholds. You’re lovely ladies
