Blood clot and bleeding - please talk to me

[Scaredsandy]

Apologies for the graphic details - a bit gory :(

I'm 6 weeks 4 days gone and this morning I started bleeding heavily. Had a scan at hospital, baby is there but next to it is a 3cm blood clot (hematoma) that is causing the bleeding. Luckily it's at the side of the sac that is closer to the exit of the womb so it's not forcing the baby out ( which it would if it was behind the baby with the baby between the way to the cervix). Not sure if my explanation is making sense. The morning bleed had stopped by the time of the scan when i was told by the sonographer:

-Baby seems fine
-Bloodclot will cause further bleeding
-Could cause miscarriage if it pulls baby along
-rest won't make a difference

Since returning home I have been bleeding with clots for the last 5 hours, it's like a heavy period. No idea if baby has already gone, so sad and worried, has anybody experienced similar?

I'm waiting to see the nurse, had the scan and the little baby has no heartbeat anymore, it had grown since Thursday, hut it's all still now. Odd that I'm posting this so soon but want to hide now so once again thank you so much for the courage you gave me. A lot of love to all of you xx

So sorry, darling, I can only post to offer sympathy and hugs through cyber space. I do feel for you, I have been there and it is torment. It is devastating to lose a baby.

I'm so sorry, it's such an awful situation for you to be going through. Look after yourself xxx

I'm so sorry to hear this.

When I had my MC it was a also like a roller coaster. I had blood tests due to symptoms disappearing, then a scan when results showed hormones not doubling as expected. We went in fearing the worst, but there was a heartbeat and we were overjoyed. Then I miscarried 3 days later. I was all over the place.

I hope you are taking care of yourself, it is so difficult when you spend all that time in limbo, not knowing if you will MC or not. I'm so sorry for your loss.

[Scaredsandy]

So sorry for your loss, I know exactly what you mean about that heartbeat, when you think it's all going to be ok. It looked so beautiful and so real and then, 4 days later, it was already grown but all still. Somehow it was like a tiny drowned swimmer, I only saw the still image on the screen but it was like a loose grey baby. My dead baby. And then you hear the nurses and the doctors telling you "sorry for your loss"; and some are sencere but some sound like they're just repeating a line and it made me so angry. Unfair from my part perhaps, but that was my child, it had a due date and two names, for the boy or the girl it would be.

I've been saying goodbye to him or her since finding out and I can't believe how just a week ago I was so happy and now I'm just empty.

So sorry for what u r goin through. I can only imaging how hard this must be for you, I hope u get support from your family and friends during this awful time xxx

What helps me the most is my little boy, I can't begin to guess what a miscarriage is like when you don't yet have a child. How full of sadness and pain is a woman's life. Not that the fathers don't suffer, but I think that for a woman the baby is real and present from the time you find out, whereas it's a bit theoretical for the man at least till it kicks.
Gosh, maybe I'm talking too much, but it's been so helpful to be talking and listening to everybody on this thread. Thanks and courage x
