Miscarriage or subchorionic haematoma? (Cramps, Spotting & clots 6 weeks+)

[EmiJomobean]

Hi, never thought I’d be writing a post like this. Found out 2 weeks ago I was unexpectedly pregnant. Now around 6 weeks, but all is not well.

i started with light pink spotting on Thursday that didn’t cause me much concern. This seemed to go but started again Friday morning along with contraction like cramps. As the day went on spotting changed from brown to rusty, to now being red stringy / stretchy with small clots. Never thought I’d be praying for a Hematoma but here we are.

I know all I can do is wait (scan booked with EPU monday), but if anyone has any positive outcomes please please share.

I may as well keep delusional hope for one more day 😣💔

P.s. love to all who may stumble across this one day looking for answers of their own. Praying for all your babies. Promise I’ll update with my outcome, good or bad.

I've been where you are three times. I had heavy red bleeding with all three of my pregnancies. Two were a good outcome and one was bad news. The heaviest bleeding was during my 2022 pregnancy, which resulted in my little boy who was born happy and healthy almost a year ago now.
I have absolutely everything crossed for you as I know how anxious you must be and having to wait for an answer is unbelievably stressful. I would tell you to try not to obsess but I know that isn't realistic so try to find a few distractions to make the time pass and I hope you get the news you're hoping for.

Sorry you went through this too. Thank you so much for replying. This is my first pregnancy and was a bit of a miracle. Praying my little one is a fighter too.

Sorry you are going through this.

Plan for the worst, hope for the best.

I've had 4 MCs and 2 successful pregnancies. I bled in all of them early on.

Hoping the best for you x

Sorry you're going through this, I have everything crossed for you! There is definitely still hope.
I have had a very long history of infertility and miscarriages. This time around when I started with pink spotting at 6 weeks I just resigned myself to another miscarriage as I've never carried a pregnancy past 5 weeks. I rang EPAC and to my amazement they found a heartbeat! The bleeding continued, sometimes brown sometimes pink then it started going red with small clots. At one point it got bad enough that I went for a cervical exam and the nurses were concerned enough that they sent me straight back for another scan due to the amount of blood. I kept going to EPAC and every time we saw a growing baby with a heartbeat. I'm now 18 weeks and heard the heartbeat on a Doppler yesterday so all is still well. Still getting random spotting although it has eased off a bit. Wish it would stop for good but the baby is ok 😁 keep us updated 🤞🤞🤞

That’s amazing to hear! Congratulations on your little fighter! I will definitely update Monday, cramping coming back though which I know isn’t a great sign xx

@EmiJomobean
It's not over until it's over. Cramping is also common in early pregnancy

@EmiJomobean
How did your scan at EPAC go? Have been thinking of you

@15rainbow thank you that means a lot to me. Went round and round but miscarried yesterday 💔 feel lucky that I got to say goodbye, and I am surrounded by lots of love and support. Trying to focus on letting my body recover 🩷

@EmiJomobean I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm glad you have lots of support and are taking time to recover. Sending love x

@EmiJomobean so sorry. Glad you have support. It's ok to feel whatever your feeling. Concentrate on healing. Sending love
