I think I’m losing this baby

I’m 6w 5d well I should be anyway

yesterday I was stood up at work and I felt wet, not anything major but I knew something was happening. I went to the loo and wiped and there was brown blood - quite a bit as in it took a few wipes to stop. I checked about 1-2 hours after and it was still happening but only when I wiped and not getting worse

when I got home at around 6/7pm I decided to put a pad in just so I could monitor what was happening. As soon as I put the pad in I had a period like bleed with clots.

i decided to have a bath and try to calm down but also accepting that this isn’t good news at all and I’m more probably having a miscarriage. I kept a pad on overnight and woke up this morning to a completely clean pad. But again when I went to the loo and had a wee and wiped there was a fairly large amount of browny coloured blood

obviously being so early on the pregnancy unit won’t see me - I’ve got to wait until tomorrow when the EPU opens. I’m in actual hell trying to think of every possible reason for this bleeding but the most obvious one is the one I’ve been dreading the most 😞

I haven’t had any cramping like I’d expect with a miscarriage and I thought seeing as it’s been nearly 20 hours that if it was a miscarriage it’d surely be getting much heavier?

OP, I remember the stress of this when I was pregnant and that was 22 years ago. Fortunately all was well ,so I pray it's a similar outcome for you x

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor aw thank you - I haven’t got much hope as I’ve been bleeding since Saturday now. It’s lighter but I just don’t feel hopefully 💖

@Tryingtobe123 so so sorry for your loss. I'm just going through this too. Not a nice place to be. Big hugs ❤️

@Tryingtobe123 I'm so sorry. Even knowing it has happened doesn't make it any easier to have it confirmed. I hope that they were kind and supportive with you at the hospital and that you are doing as ok as can be (i.e. not ok at all, I know) x

Tryingtobe123 · 18/04/2023 15:02

I'm so sorry for your loss. 💐

Tryingtobe123 · 18/04/2023 19:57

Thanks everyone. It’s been a tough day, partner is on night shifts. Just went to put 2 year old to bed and he was throwing a huge fit. I burst out crying, yelled at him like mega loud and left him crying upstairs. Boyfriend had to wake up and go and sort him. Now I feel so awful I’ve just spent the past hour crying my eyes out

@Tryingtobe123 please don't be hard on yourself. Today you have been through one of the worst things you'll ever go through. But being parents we just need to carry on and be responsible. Of course you're not ok. Be kind to yourself x

KokoNights · 18/04/2023 20:38

I'm gutted for you. This really sucks. I hope that you still have happy moments whilst you're grieving the loss.

@SnookyPook - so sorry for your loss too :(

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 18/04/2023 20:40
