I’m 10 weeks baby died at around 6.5 sac was measuring 7 weeks. I had no option for any treatment till Monday. The bleeding has begun I’m so scared I’ve never been so scared as I am right now. It’s started off slow but I’ve miscarried before at seven weeks and it started like this then was fast and brutal.
But not to painful thankfully.
im scared incase I bleed to death my kids are at their dads thankfully. Help me through the night :-(

Hi again 😊

Get yourself into bed and try and sleep. Some painkillers. When it happened to me Christmas night/boxing morning I took a couple of paracetamol and then after it had passed I took a couple of cocodamol (30/500) and got back into bed.

I wished I had a hot water bottle so if you have one get that ready too.

You're stronger than you feel right now x

@Tweetypie27 I'm so sorry for your loss. You sound like a very strong person having come through this before, and you will get through it this time too. Do you have any friends/family nearby who can be sort of 'on call' for you, in case you need some support?

Suzi888 · 29/12/2022 20:03

Bless you, is there no one with you? Do you have tablets? Are you able to put a film on?

Are you alone or do you have someone there?

BCxx · 29/12/2022 20:09

Aww so sorry you’re going through this 😔 hope it passes quickly for you. I have no experience to share but just wanted to send a hug. ❤️ If it was me I think I’d get some really strong pain killers and try to sleep it out if possible x

I found it easier just to stay on the toilet, it felt safer somehow. Take the painkillers and have your hot water bottle. It's so shit but you will be OK. I spend most of the night on the toilet and then managed a few hours sleep and was back on the toilet most of the day.
Just take it easy on yourself and try and take as much time as needed to recover.

So sorry you are going through this. I found the meds made me sick so have a sick bucket/bowl ready in the bathroom while you might need to be sat on the toilet at the same time as being sick.

Pain management, take pain killers as directed, don't wait for the pain to get bad.

Hot water bottle helps. It's utterly shit but you'll get through this.

So sorry to hear this OP. I have had 3 miscarriages. It helped me to walk around - things come out faster. I found if I just sat down I had a lot more bleeding as the body couldn’t clear itself.
It helped me to think that 1:5 pregnancies end in miscarriage and it’s something very common amongst women. It’s the body sorting itself out. There can be a LOT of bleeding though and if I did sit I sat on some towels as it soaked through my clothes.

Thanks ladies my partner is back soon he’s taking his kids home they live a few hours away. My little girl is in bed now she’s two so just us here for a bit. My best friend lives two doors away she said she is back soon and will come if I need her.
don’t like to burden people it’s starting off slow blood and mucus no clots but it will come I know. I’ve covered all the floors up stairs like a trail and the bed as we have light carpets which are new. I don’t need to sit on the toilet yet but have a lot of pressure like when ur in labour type feeling so know what’s coming. It’s jsur so nerve wracking I am not good with blood at all I’m trying to be brave as I can. Thanks so much xxx

Hi everyone the bleeding is like gloppy blackcurrant jam that went on for a few hours then stopped and I went to sleep I know it isn’t over for me. I’m so drained with this whole thing now just want it over I’m so depressed.

Well I’m still slowly miscarrying losing small clots the pad isn’t filling up and no large clots I’ve miscarried before and this is different but I’m further this time. I’m in constant period pain I’m glad something is happening and the blood is red now not a weird purple colour and their is mucus in it like tissue but only small amounts and when I sit on the toilet small amounts of clotty tissue is coming out but no sac unless it’s broken down.

My last MC many moons ago just was like a blood bath right away this is like a dripping tap so I know nothing has passed that needs to yet.
Im going call EPU Monday for the pessary is this continues as I need my life back now I’m trapped in the house moping and so depressed and constant period pain. I was expecting a massive gush and clots by now and it’s starting to seem the lesser of two evils. So so down guys and tired 😪
