Bleeding at 12 weeks, so sad...

[mumum1]

I had been praying for this baby for so long I don't think I can get over it if I've lost my baby.

I'm 12 weeks today and about an hour ago I noticed a little spotting and it's getting worse.

Spoke to the maternity unit and as it's out of hours they've told me i can't be seen until tomorrow and that I should get some rest and take some paracetamol.

I can't lose my baby but I feel so helpless.

Breathe and relax
Some bleeding is normal, and whilst I can’t tell you what’s going on, I hope you can find some peace tonight
Have you got someone with you tonight? Xx

It's such a tough time. I'm praying you get good news! Ive had 3 previous mmc and at 10+1 I had a huge bleed. Bright red aswell. I had to wait 5 days for a scan. And it was the worst time ever. I convinced myself that I had lost the baby. When I went for my scan, there was a very happy wriggly baby on the screen. I'm now 11+5. Im also still spotting on and off, have been since Friday. Im a nervous wreck again, but trying to stay positive at the fact that bleeds don't always necessarily mean bad news. I have a scan tomorrow too!

I really honestly do hope that it's good news for you. I'll have my fingers crossed for you. Just have lots of rest!x

Thanks for your replies.

I've started cramping a little now so I don't have much hope. Can't see myself sleeping tonight.

I wish I hadn't told people I was pregnant, I feel so stupid and sad.

Really want this baby

@mumum1 I'm so sorry you're going through this, I hope tomorrow brings you good news, I see threads so often end with a happy ending... Bleeding can happen for lots of reasons. Will be thinking of you tomorrow x

Hopefully tomorrow brings good news. Bleeding isn't always a bad sign sometimes it's just something that happens. Fingers crossed for you

Thanks for the replies

Over the initial shock I think and just trying to keep positive but the cramping and the bleeding isn't helping.

Just wish I could do something tonight instead of just waiting until 8 in the morning

Try and stay positive. It’s really hard. I’m booked in for surgical management of miscarriage this week and devastated. As others have said though it doesn’t mean that this is the case for you.

Have you had a scan yet at all? Thinking of you Xx

Not had a scan yet, dating scan is booked for Tuesday.

DH has been great but he's now getting the kids ready for bed.

So sad but can show it in front of the kids.

Just counting down until I can be seen by someone and get some answers

I'm so sorry you're going through this worry. I too have had miscarriages and I was absolutely convinced I was having another when I began bleeding with my last pregnancy. I got scanned and it turned out my placenta was over my cervix and that's what was causing the bleeding. I was cramping too. But that pregnancy resulted in the now 10 month old in my arms.
Try stay positive because you don't know for sure just yet. Sending love and hugs x

@mumum1 sorry to hear this OP, this sounds so sad considering you made it to the 12 week mark with no issues 😔 I'm keeping everything crossed for you and sending my love xx

Sending you lots of love and hugs, good luck darling ❤ please don't be too upset until you can know more tomorrow ❤

Cramping and bleeding getting worse.

Can't stop crying.

I had a massive bleed at 9 weeks but it turned out to be nothing serious. I didn't realise this until it happened but it's actually really common to bleed in early pregnancy and often it's benign. It's so scary though and the wait is horrible. Really hope it turns out to be nothing OP x

I had a really bad bleed in my last pregnancy and it was a frightening experience , there was so much blood that I expected the worse. I was 16 weeks and it was nearly midnight but OH went to a hospital about 30 mins away as we knew our local one wouldn't see me. They did scan me and all was ok , is going to a different hospital an option for you so you can get some answers tonight ? Hope all is ok .

Going to ring around and see if any other hospital will see me. Will have to go by myself as no one to watch the kids apart from DH but need to know what's going on.

Large clots now as well. Finding it really hard to stay positive

Here to offer a handhold.
With my last pregnancy I did have bleeding and thought I was losing her (twice this happened) but all turned out okay in the end. They couldn’t really say why, just happened.
I know it’s really scary and you’ll probably not be able to sleep tonight but just try to rest if you can.
I’m wishing you the best of luck for tomorrow and will be thinking of you. Sending loads of love xxxx

@mumum1 my heart goes out to you so much :( surely there's got to be somewhere you can go to get answers tonight

OP my friend had a similar scare at that stage, with large clots and what she was convinced was ‘fetal material’ (sorry if tmi). Her little girl is now 6 and fabulous. Feet up and rest is important whichever the outcome but. Wishing you all the very, very best

I really hope it's nothing and the baby is okay xx
Really wish there was something you could do today to be checked out instead of waiting until tomorrow. I can't even imagine what your going though

Good luck. Go to A and E and get soon as soon as you can. You do need to know what is happening. I really hope it is ok.

Unfortunately even if you go to A&E they won't scan you there and will most likely give you pain relief and book you a scan for tomorrow

Sorry you're going through this. I would go to a&e if need be.

Have you called 111 Op, for some advice?

So sorry to read this
Thinking of you and hope that this isn’t what you fear it is

Rang a few EPUs around my area and none are open. Don't think I could face going to A&E just to be told I need to wait for a scan in the morning.

Thanks again for your replies, really appreciate it.
