Hi All,
I recently found out im pregnant. I think i found out while i was under 12 weeks. Further along enough where i got symptoms but also didnt click i could be pregnant.
Recently, i had been through immense stressful periods due to personal problems. It was horrid time. So bad that a foodie like me didn't want to eat anymore. I went hours without eating due to feeling nauseous and anxious and would only eat until i was starving so many hours later. This wasn't every day though. Maybe few days but i always ate its not like i skipped a day of meals etc.
However i thought i just had the flu at the time because i had sore throat and then wasn't able to eat much because i was feeling nauseus. On top of that i had extreme tiredness. I still never thought i was pregnant even though i missed what i thought was 2 months of period.
It didnt register in my head!
One day it did and i took a test and it was positive and the next morning same thing, positive. Both were dark lines.
So, after that i think out of happiness i started eating as much as i could. Whatever i could stomach.
However, on 2 occassions i had a kebab wrap from outside and another time i had chicken burger meal with chips and some of the sauces they give you know the chilli sauce in a little container with a little mayo.
Also, before knowing i was pregnant, i had quite a lot of lucozade and caffeine as i was severely tired. I was prescribed iron tablets due to my deficiency too.
Few days later, i saw some discharge mixed with blood and went early pregnancy assessment unit. They saw me and my test was positive there too. That day they had a sonographer available and she done abdo scan to see how far along i was. She said deffo under 12 weeks. Her saying this does it not mean they saw a foetus? Also they went through my history and booked me for a transvaginal scan coming up tuesday. They said since it is little blood to go home and monitor and if it gets heavy come back.
Next morning i woke up to pee and on period pad which i used to monitor blood it was just patched of blood like period ones. I was so upset and cried and went to bed again but crying silently. Then a few minutes later i had abdo pain and it wss getting worse. After half an hour when i couldn't take it anymore i told my husband to take me toilet and he did. He was like im waiting outside. I then peed and was dripping blood and then passed the biggest blood clot in my life and called my husband quick and he came and suddenly my head dropped. I fainted. I woke up with the most panicked feeling and disoriented because this id how i wake up after fainting. Then my husband called ambulance and they took me hospital and they saw my pee in toilet bowl and said its a lot of blood.
The hospital couldnt say anything. They just said they could do a speculum check to see whether cervix was open or closed but i refused due to sheer fear at the time and said i would like to wait for the transvaginal scan on tuesday. They couldnt tell me if i miscarried or not.
I came home and yesterday night around 1am i felt same kind of size clot pass but was too scared to go toilet. So went morning. And i was shook. It looked like what was a foetus...i was too scared to look further. But it was same feeling when i passed the clot the day i went by ambulance after fainting. It deffo did not look like a blood clot this one. Since yesterday my bleeding is lighter.
I genuinely believe i miscarried.
However, i am feeling extremely guilty.
Did is miscarry because of the kebab wrap and the chicken burger and chips with the sauce you get in these burger places or did i miscarry aswell because of all the stress and not eating as much? What im asking is did i cause this?
I feel so upset i cannot explain.
