Hi, I know its early but I just woke about an hour ago to a trickle of bright red blood, went and had a wee and a clot about the size of a golf ball came out, followed by more red blood, I checked clot and it doesnt look like a fetus, just a clot. im 9.5 weeks and dont know where to turn to at this hour.

Call your doctors 24 hour line or Nhs direct as a start point. Good luck and I hope you are ok

Oh I'm so sorry - how are you feeling,
Is your partner there with you?

greenj1 · 03/01/2013 04:36

Sorry for your trouble especially at this time in the morning. I agree with Cheffie. Good luck.

OnlyWantsOne · 03/01/2013 04:40

Oh green - well I'm here lovely. Keep talking if you want but I would suggest using a pad & making a cup of tea and trying to get some rest.

No pain is a good thing

Fwiw I had bleeding in both my first two pregnancies and they were fine.

greenj1 · 03/01/2013 05:55

Well I have been laying in bed for the last two hrs seems I wont be getting any more sleep tonight. I'm gonna wait for the midwives phones to be open and see what's what. On the plus side very little blood and no pain but very scared xx

Another one holding your hand.
Have you got other DC or work today?

Like only said, the no pain is a good thing, hope it's just a false alarm for you. x

greenj1 · 03/01/2013 06:27

I have 3 dc but no work thank god. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that all is ok xx

Don't be alarmed when you stand up if you loose a little more blood - it will have sort of collected IYKWIM

good luck green - try and do as little as possible x

cutestgirls · 03/01/2013 07:34

try staying off your feet and lying in bed. it may be possible that it is early preg bleeding. you will probably need to do blood work today and then the next to confirm the preg or unfortunately an mc.

hope all goes well - here's a hand to hold

greenj1 · 03/01/2013 07:41

Well Im trying to rest! Cant sleep anymore only had a couple of hrs last night :( Im just waiting til 8 then i can try and get hold of my midwife, Oh and to make me feel worse my dating scan appointment has just arrived, broke down in a flood of tears and worry.

Thinking of you green sending positive vibes

Thinking of you xx

FlojoHoHoHo · 03/01/2013 08:27

Hope she rings soon, will probably send you to the hospital for a scan. Hope all goes well.

NoMoreMarbles · 03/01/2013 08:32

Hope your MW calls you back soon.

I have been where you are and it's awful waiting and not knowing so I hope you find out either way very soon so you can relax a little and get some rest.

cosysocks · 03/01/2013 08:35

Hope you are ok and have managed to get in touch with the midwife x

GaryBuseysTeeth · 03/01/2013 08:49

((green))
I had a mc at the end of October, told MW's & still got a scan date through a week later, it's such a low blow.

Is there someone/somewhere you can plonk your DC whilst going into hospital?

Hope she's called you back.

Jollyb · 03/01/2013 09:10

Green if you don't hear anything soon ring your GP or try contacting your local early pregnancy unit directly. Many will take self referrals and offer a walk in service.

Hope everything's ok

I'd go via GP to refer for an early scan, or go to A&E, not sure how helpful the MW will be at this stage.
