I'm having a miscarriage that started yesterday. I was only 6 weeks pregnant. I started off with spotting which has just got heavier and heavier, am now in full flow.
At first I wasn't hugely worried as exactly the same thing (heavy period like bleeding) happened with my son (now 3) and he was fine, but thought I should get it checked out just in case. Went to A&E and after 5 hours waiting the dr examined me and said he thought the cervix was closed (phew) but then afterwards changed his mind and wrote 'inevitable miscarriage' on the notes. Which I read upside down on the desk
They wanted me to stay in overnight but as I also have an 8 month old dd who is still breastfeeding I said no, and went home. My DH took the day off today and has looked after the kids, so I've just crashed on the sofa.
I think I'm ok - we weren't trying to get pregnant, and I know it would have been hard work with dd still such a baby (and there's already four of us in a tiny 2 bed flat!). But... you're never really ok, are you? I feel very heavy and sad, and hollow, and like my body has let me down in some way, and like I've let DH down. I would like to have more kids some day and I pray that we will... just hate the thought of going through this again.
Thanks to anyone who has read this
