I'm 5+3 and think I'm having a miscarriage. What do I do?

[megonthemoon]

I'm 5+3, needed the loo about 20 mins ago and found a lot of bright red blood. I have a tummy ache, but no cramping.

I spoke with NHS Direct but they referred me to my GP I guess as it's so early on, but they don't open for another 30 mins.

What do I do? Should I just let it take its course here? Or is there still a chance that it's just a threatened mc and should I be rushing to hospital? And do I need to be seeing a doctor in any case, or if it's this early and keeps on going can I just stay home without any medical intervention?

Any practical advice too?

Thanks

Hi Meg, Latest and Nymph.
I just wanted so say how sorry I am for you all and to let you know I am thinking of you.
I have had 4 miscarriages and sadly no children as yet. The best advice I can give you is to take whatever time you need to grieve and heal, and to do whatever comforts you during that time.
My DP and I talk about our lossed whenever we need to and it has helped us so much, my DP especially.
