Currently going through a miscarriage (5weeks)
Scanned on wednesday was meant to be 7 weeks pregnant but measuring 2 weeks behind.

in absolute agony whilst typing this, my belly keeps going hard and all my lower back is throbbing and aching, tops of my legs are aching. I feel dizzy, sick you name it.

Iv taken 2 paracetamol and currently laid with a hot water bottle.
I rang EPU they said to just monitor bleeding & pain but did not expect this at all.

Hi there, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss.

im not a medical professional but have had this three times. I was told by my EPU where the pain or bleeding is unbearable to come in (if outside ours then call first and go to the maternity assessment unit) I had to do this because my bleeding got out of control.

i was advised to take high strength pain relief (solpedeine max a mix of codeine and paracetamol available over the counter)

i hope the pain passes for you soon x

all the pain immediately gone, disappeared.
i never ever expected this, but i guess it’s got to come out one way. wish the nurse prepared me and talked me through it but atleast i was at home in my own comfort
