Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here can help or has been through something similar.
I found out in August I was pregnant, not planned and only twigged on when I was nauseous for a few days and had sore boobs. Attended my GP the following week and told them, was then referred for a booking appointment and scan, as according to my last period I was already 11 weeks pregnant. I should however say that I have irregular cycles, usually 36-38 days but the one before this was 75. Due to the morning sickness my doctor estimated me to be about 7 weeks as this usually starts in weeks 6-8.
I left the office feeling happy, was taking my victim and etc, then the next day I had a small bleed after sex. This definitely worried me but I trailed off and stopped by the evening. I went to bed that night feeling fine, but woke up the next morning to again find blood when I wiped but then nothing for the rest of the day. The next day was Monday, again I woke up to bleeding, this time enough to reach my underwear but again stopped during the day. I phoned my GP to let them know and they referred me to the EPU and I was waiting a call back. The same day the normal maternity team rang me to advise my booking appointment was Wednesday (2 days away) and I accepted it. That evening the EPU called me back, I said i got a call about booking and advised of what happened to me over the weekend. The nurse told me to attend booking as they wouldn’t be able to see me before then anyway.
I was so worried waiting for those 48 hours to pass but thankfully the bleeding stopped. I went for my booking appointment on Wednesday, they done the scan but couldn’t see a baby. There was defiantly a fluid sack in my uterus but they couldn’t find a baby. The midwife said not to worry as it could be my dates are wrong but I’m so scared. They referred me to the EPU and said I would be seen this week, but when I got the call that evening they said I would have to wait until next Wednesday.
I don’t know what to do of think now, I’m all over the place and have cried so much. I had morning sickness and sore boobs but now they’re gone. I’ve felt sick since Monday again but I think it’s the stress and fear doing it to me now. I’ve had no cramps or bleeding since Monday but the reading I’ve done online suggests a blighted ovum. I’m so scared about having a miscarriage. I’ve never had one before and it’s completely breaking me. I don’t know what to think and I’m writing this in the hope someone has been through similar and can offer advice. Even if I have lost the baby and am facing into a miscarriage I really would appreciate hearing other peoples expieriences as it might help me.
milk update this post on Wednesday after the next scan, as no matter what the outcome I’m going to need help coming to terms with it. X
