Please reassure me I'm being paranoid

[PrincessScrumpy]

I was in A&E this morning and the doctor said I'd done the right thing but I'm still not sure everything is okay - I have an emergency scan booked for tomorrow.

This is my second pg but this time it's twins and very different. I could only feel one moving last night but at 16w I wasn't too concerned but then I woke up at 5am, feeling like I'm having mild contractions down one side. I had a tiny bit of spotting after sex but very little. I'm still having cramps now. Gynocologist found a hb and possibly two but coundn't be certain as they were close together (but I guess one could be behind the other).

I've been okay as dd is 3 and a big distraction, but I did put the two new babygro outfits I've bought (the only things I've bought so far) in the drawers in the nursery and that made me swallow hard. I just keep thinking I've lost one of the babies. Having twins was such a huge shock but losing one or both would be devastating for me (and dh).

I really need reassurance. I wish the doctor had told me I was being daft.

Hope everything is OK for you tomorrow, it seems like an awfully long time for you to have to wait, did they send you over to the mat unit or keep you in A&E?

I know a lot of people have bleeding after sex (? erosion bleeding I think) & it is fine in pg so fingers crossed everything will be fine at your scan, I bet someone who has experienced similar will come along on here soon & be able to explain what it could be better. In the meantime I hope you are able to rest as much as possible with a 3yr old! take care x

3-year-old is being fab and was soooo good in A&E despite us being there for 3 hours. They kept me in A&E - I did call labour ward first. Perhaps I'm not far enough along for them to see me yet. With dd I went in after a bleed (big one) and prem labour at 32 weeks so went straight to labour ward. When I called they told me to go to A&E but if it was mc they couldn't do anything anyways and it's probably just ligaments stretching (doesn't feel like that kind of pain IMO). I got the impression they were busy.
