how to cope with bleeding?

[ssQQ]

I am about 5 wks in first pregnancy (at age 35). Sunday I had some bleeding and period-type pain, dizziness, ended up spending night going through A&E and having early scan Monday morning. They saw a sac, though nothing else, and said it was probably just implantation bleeding. But today I woke up with more pain and more bleeding - certainly more than just spotting - and don't know what to do.

Anyone got any tips for dealing with waiting and waiting?

Sorry, no tips really apart from distracting yourself (rubbish telly, lots of chocolate, whatever comforts you).

As you know there's nothing anyone can do at this stage so all you can do is wait. If it helps, I had a m/c at 7 weeks and am now 34 weeks pg. If it is a m/c (and I really hope it isn't) then please don't read too much in to it, just grieve for a while and then try again. Something like 1 in 3 pregnancies ends in m/c just because the embryo develops incorrectly and isn't viable.

If you are 5 weeks then seeing only a sac would be normal. I'm afraid you you're right, just keep waiting. With this pg I bled due to implantation for 3 days but it didn't hurt. It's the pain that you describe that's made me write the paragraph above.
