I found out i was pregnant with my fourth on the 13 of march, that was my first positive test. I was pretty horrifed to be honest and my husband and i went back and forth with the idea of termination, but neither of us could really do that. I accepted i was going to have a baby, but still didnt feel excited or felt like i wanted it. Horrible i know.

Then on tuesday i started to get some brown smearing, that turned to fresh red. My midwife referred me to the gynacology ward up at my local hospital whom did a scan and told me, that there was a sac in my womb, but that it was measuring 5 weeks 3 days and was empty from what they could see. By my dates, lMP was 10th feb and i should have been around 7 weeks. They said there was a lot of blood in my womb, but that the sac itself was a perfect sac, and there was no blood actually near it, itself. They said there was a big clot behind my cervix waiting to come away.

They sent me home, and told me that if the pain and bleeding got worse i should come back as they werent able to rule out an ectopic either, just because i have a funny womb and they werent able to see my left overy and tube.

The next day the bleeding did get heavier, though i wasnt in hardly any pain really and i passed a clot that night. I thought maybe that was just the clot they saw on the scan, and my baby sac would be okay. However whilst i havent passed anymore, i am still bleeding fresh red. I have to wait till next thursday for another scan, and i am going out of mind. Having this happen has made my husband and i realise just how much we do want it, and i keep thinking, i made this happen, because i didnt want it to begin with

If it held on, its due date would be my husbands birthday we are so sad. Is there any chance there could still be a baby there, next thursday, even though i have been bleeding for 4 days now? I still get a strong positive on a test. Stronger than it was on the 13th and the 16th of march

I don't know, sweetie. Anything is possible- there are people who have heavy periods throughout pregnancy, after all- and I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I don't think bright red blood is the greatest of signs but the positive pregnancy test sounds more hopeful. I had quite a lot of brown blood at the early stages of pregnancy and the epu did comment that it was good my test showed positive before they did an early scan which showed everything was well. So hope you will get a good outcome too and am so sorry you are going through this worry and sadness. All the very very best.

thank you, but i have just visited my loo and its even worse now. They told me at the hospital that my cervix was tightly closed, but without going into too much detail, i know today its very much open. I also passed another large clot, nearly 2 inches in length, and the pregnancy test looks slightly less strong today i think its going to be all over soon xxx

SIL has had show but contractions have almost gone (v strong and regular yesterday), v dull and only every hour or so. Please give me top tips to get them moving again! She is almost 42 weeks pregnant and is desperate not to be induced. Thank you. S x

I am so so sorry for putting this message here. Complete accident as I am new to mn and have v anxious SIl on phone.

I have had two ms's hence the reason I was reading your thread when she phoned in a real panic. I had so much support with both mc's from family but each one I thought I had a chance that it may be OK as there are positive stories out there.

My SIL (see above)had a mc last year at fourteen weeks and this made her realise hown desperately she wanted a third child (she has two DD).

If it is help after my first mc I waited for one period then TTC and now have a beautifull DS called Archie.

My thoughts are with you xxx
