Bleeding at 11 weeks

[Littlepic]

I am 11 +2 weeks, woke up this morning and was bleeding slightly. This is not the first time it has happened. This will be the third time and so I am managing to stay relatively calm!!!

The blood is dark and looks like old blood, I have no abdominal cramping or pain.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen multiple times as I now have?

I'm due my 12 week scan next Friday. Fingers crossed!!

Hi

I've lost the baby :-(

And I found put I am also rhesus negative.

I just cant believe it, and I need to break it to my husband, I feel so sorry for him out there.

I'm so pleased your two are all so well, this is by far the worst feeling i've ever had.

So sorry for your loss hope you have people around you today and get lots of support.

The anti d injection for resus negative not given till 28 weeks I just checked with midwife.

Sorry I shouldnt have meantioned it I just had spoken to a few people who had bleeding that told me about it. I dont know enough about it other that Im resus negative too and was looking for reasons for bleeding but dont know if connected.

Im so sorry I really feel sad for you. Take care xx

have you spoke to your husband?

Hi
I have just spoken to my husband - both of us very tearful and devastated. He wants to come back (not due home until September) but think it's best he stays there as he's going for promotion, and by the time he comes it will all be over.
It was a missed miscarriage so unfortunately go to have a procedure, going back this afternoon.
I just spoke to my GP who i have a great relationship with - and he has prescribed me a bottle of wine!!!! And a giant box of tissues....

Hi Littledink,

I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm sending love and support to both you and your DH. I can't imagine how you must be feeling but a bottle of wine sounds like a great idea.

I'm glad that your mum was with you and hope that the procedure is painless this afternoon. Take all the time you need to grieve. My heart really goes out to you.

Take care of yourself. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pregnantmimi,

Glad your bleeding has stopped. Fingers crossed for a good scan on Tuesday. Not sure what my blood type is I'm still waiting to get my bloods back! xxx

littledink hope procedure isnt too traumatic and take care tonight hope you have some body who can stay with you or you can stay at your mums after.xx

little pic had no bleeding two days will let you know how scan is on tuesday its at 3xx

littledink do you get chance to chat to your husband on skype? My husband abroad too and it really helps being able to chat to him like hes in the roomxx

Hi very sorry to hear of your loss. I think that isn't right about the injection, I had 2 missed miscarriages at 12 weeks or thereabuts following awful scans. It is shit and I am so sorry. But my recollection is that I was given AntiD and the info is here excuse please howling toddler want Thomas book

Hi guys,

Well as you can probably tell, I cant sleep. Such an awful feeling.

No we cant skype, we could when he was in Norway but the connection in Kandahar isn't strong enough so the only way is to wait until he calls. He said that he's spoke to his chief and thankfully he is out there with his best friend so he's had a good cry. His initial reaction was that he just wanted to come home but I really think he should finish his tour.

I am so sorry herecomesthsun to hear that you've been through this twice. It's just one of the worst experiences i've had to deal with. My understanding is that now they know my blood type, if I get pregnant again and bleed, they will give me an injection to stop the bleeding and stop cross contamination with the baby.

I couldn't actually bring myself to drink. But I had a good chat with my dad (who is one of my best friends) and i think talking about it is good and in the long run may make me feel better.

You just dont expect it at 12 weeks do you, in fact almost 13 weeks.

Thank you for all your support and messages.

LITTLEDINK glad you had you dad to talk to its good your close. Im feeling upset myself got scan on tuesday.
Your right you dont expect it at 12 weeks its so horrible for you. I feel really upset for you. x

Please let me know how you get on after your scan on Tuesday. My scan would have been on Monday. It's been a very difficult few days and watching it happen (and feeling it) has been extremely hard. My husband is not coping and has been sent home - he is flying back as we speak. I tried to tell him I was coping but he was adamant he was coming home.

I'd love to see your scan picture, I was so looking forward to that. We will see our own one day I'm sure. My sister in law is two weeks over due and being induced today, holding a new born is going to be a challenge I think, although amazing.

littledink be nice to have your husband with you.

yes will be hard holding babies. Are you going to try again soon?

Hi all,

Littledink I'm glad to hear your husband is on his way home. It sounds to me like he needs your support just as much as you need his. I hope he has arrived safely. I think take every day as it comes. Sending love to you both.

Pregnantmimi - Good luck with your scan tomorrow. Is it morning or afternoon? I'll be thinking of you. xxxxxxxxxx

Littlepic
Scans at 3 pm tomorrow.

I havent had any bleeding since last friday. I also havent been doing anything active, was thinking about going for a nice walk into town today but wont chance it with having bleeding last time after going shopping.

Its at a place I havent been before a health centre about 40 mins away so will post as soon as back.

Feeing quite hopeful as morning sickness has come back and feel out of breathe so feel pregnant will just have to see if everything ok with the scan.

I wanted to ask about cervical erosion if Im there or with the midwife too cause I read that that can make woman bleed during pregnancy.

My friend also pointed out to me yesterday that when I had the coil fitted a few years ago I had to have it removed cause I was bleeding alot with it I dont know if this means Im a bit sensitive in my cervix.

I think that doctors and hospitals need to really investigate if someone is bleeding to what it is or at least tell people what it could be.

Will let you know how it goesxx

Littledink
I agree I htink having your husband with you will help when will he get there?

I've just seen the same thread as you. Cervical erosion, never heard of it but sounds like a possible cause!!

I'll be very interested to see what they say when you have your scan. Glad the bleeding has stopped again. I'm sure everything will be ok. Keep me posted :)

yes other than the bit of bleeding the day I went shopping been fine so fingers crossesxx

Hi all,

Things have kicked off big time and this has by far been the most horrendous 24 hours. I rang my best friend in such a state - she's known me for 25 years and has never seen me like that, she slept over last night to keep an eye on me but had to get the emergency doc out. I knew this would be bad but I had no idea just how awful, both physically and psychologically, that it was going to be.

Dave is on his way home as we speak, he called me from Cyprus at 7am and should be home by about midnight tonight.

We need to grieve for this little one, so although we will try again, we are not going to rush - like you say, one day at a time.

Littlepic, have you got the actual mumsnet book? In there is has a section on coils and how if fitted before they can cause bleeding during pregnancy. Although I think there are a million reasons why it happens and it's likely we'll never know for sure. I'm really thinking of you today and am anxiously waiting - I am sure you and baby will be fine.

I do hope that things get easier and better for all of us.

Lots of love to you both xxx

Hi Littledink,

I hardly know what to say except that I am thinking of you and sending love and support. I can't imagine how you must be feeling but I'm glad you have someone with you and really glad that your husband is on his way home.

My bleeding has stopped for over two weeks now, it's pergnantmimi having her scan today. So i'm also keeping fingers crossed for her.

I think you need to take your time to grieve for this baby and as you said only start trying again when you are really ready. Could your GP refer you for some appropriate councilling?

All my love xxxxxxxxx

just a quick message to say scan was fine. Spoke to midwife while i was there who couldnt give me answer to why I was bleeding will pop back on later just got back xx

Oh sorry getting myself confused, i've not slept in almost a week! I have just laid my head on the pillow and dozed for about an hour - and my husband woke me up calling to say he's on his way back to Yeovil, so i'm going to drive up in about an hour to pick him up (I live on Cornwall).

The pain has subsided today - I have an odd feeling in my chest and back but imagine that's just from the stress and my body trying to cope with everything. I'm only a small person and I feel like i've been beaten up.

I have been talking about things a lot and had a lot of time to myself since it's happened and feel better for it, and also for having a proper hard core cry last night - I dont think i've ever cried like that but I obviously needed it. I've also found chatting to you both really helpful and I'm just so pleased for you both that you're both well and babies are doing so well too.

When my husband comes home if things dont improve I will considering counselling - I have an amazing doctor and a chat to him alone I am sure will make me feel better.

Prenantmimi - I'm absolutely delighted to hear the scan was all fine - I bet it was amazing to see and such a relief. Be sure to do something lovely tonight in celebration :-)

Sorry didn't mean to sound harsh Littledink. Make sure you drive safely and take care of yourself.

Pregnantmimi - so glad the scan was ok. Do you know the baby's sex? Have a relaxing evening :)

litte dink hope you feel better soon maybe treat yourself to a massage or a pedicure when you feel bit better.

I do complementry therapies myself and find having them when im emotional helps I had a indian head massage last week and was crying all the way thou it but the woman was fab.

Reiki is good too and talking to the therapist can help during the treatment.

I have alot of woman coming in for reiki who have been thou the same as you and it often helps them to rebalance emotions and have a cry and a chat. Im just meantioning it cause you could go and have it done soon rather than waiting to get put thou for counselling I would think you would have to wait long thou to see someone.

Try to get some sleep and eat well its so important to look after yourself and its good your friend was there for you.

The midwife today said if I bleed again I need to go into hospital and have a examination to see where its coming from I meantioned the coil thou to her as I bled every day with this and wonder if sensitive there. Been crying alot myself before the scan.

Just been chatting to my husband the baby was in breech and the lady doing the scan said the baby will more than likely turn around.

I feel bad talking about the baby cause know you must be so upset so hope it doesnt upset you more.

Take care and look after yourself and I am thinking of you and hope you start to feel better soon Im sure having your husband with you will be a big support you need each otherxx

Hi!

Dave is home :-) Feel better already. And on the drive down we talked about going for a nice spa weekend. I feel like i've been beaten up - everything seems to hurt, and obviously we've both been very emotional so thing we've deserved a break.

I've never tried Reiki - what is it?

Of course talking about your little baby doesn't upset me, i'm so pleased that all is ok but I can imagine you were very tearful before the scan - you must have just been so relieved to see all was ok. You've got a while to go for baby to turn around.

Please do keep in touch - i'd love to follow how you both get on and know when your little ones are in the world!

Thank you again for all of your support - I was saying to my husband that it has been a massive comfort and really helped me get through the hardest week of our lives so far.
