I'm just going through my 3rd miscarriage ina row. No successful pregnancy's past 6 weeks.
On Wednesday we saw the heartbeat and told this is a good pregnancy and everything is going perfectly - today I am miscarrying.

How do I get investigated into why I keep miscarrying??
I don't even know where to start.
Who do I talk to?
Where do I go to get help?

I've also been told the hospital early pregnancy unit is CLOSED until Tuesday so I can't even go get a scan abs D&C even tho last time I ended up being rushed into hospital by ambulance- this is WRONG!!! They should NOT be allowed to CLOSE help for miscarrying woman!!!!! You wouldn't close a fire station for a bank holiday weekend would you?! So why close this type of help?!?!? I now have to suffer on my own and deal with this myself and HOPE i don't end up needing an ambulance again.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I had a MC a few weekends ago and everything was closed too so I waited bleeding and cramping alone in a and e for 4 hours only to be told there was no one to scan me for 2 days, I then went home and suffered all weekend. Shocking how they treat women having a miscarriage.

I dont know the answers to your questions but I would go in on Monday and demand a full and proper thorough test of all your hormones etc. So sorry again, its heartbreaking to go through this xxx

Thinking of you. I am so sorry you are experiencing this.

I have had 3 miscarriages which is what you have to have before the nhs will investigate. When I miscarried the last time at 12.5 weeks which resulted in me having to stay in hospital, I really pushed to get a referral. Like you we had a scan with a heartbeat and told all was perfect. I experienced similar when I miscarried on a Saturday night and no one was available to scan till Monday morning. It’s just crazy how bad the support and care is for miscarriage.

Make sure you do when you go to the pregnancy unit on Tuesday. Ask to be referred to the miscarriage clinic.

Sending so much ❤️

Unfortunately both my miscarriages I just had to go through on my own at home. I was never offered a scan at EPU.
Both I was close to 10 weeks.
My GP just told me to stay home and take painkillers and take a test in a few weeks.

Didn't actually realise being told to go to EPU ect was a thing until coming on here
