I need some hand holding please...

[LST]

I have had some brownish discharge when I wipe this morning (tmi sorry). I was 7 weeks yesterday. I have a horrible sinking feeling that this is it

[LST]

ninani I hope so. It is at the epu though. But that's only because our mat unit won't see anyone under 16 weeks unless it's the 12 wk scan.

Argh I just wish it was now!

[AndMiffyWentToSleep]

I remember bursting into tears after wiping and having 'fresh' red blood at about that time - I was so convinced it was a miscarriage but it wasn't - I've got a DS now. Just in case your symptoms change - it may still be ok.
I also remember cramping the day I found out I was pregnant and being certain I was miscarrying.
It is so stressful - I've got my fingers crossed your outcome is the same as mine.

[DreamingOfTheMaldives]

I had a MMC at 9 weeks and then during my next pregnancy I had a bright red bleed at about 8 weeks. We really thought it was happening all over again but thankfully all was fine and I'm now 28 weeks.

Bleeding/discharge doesn't always mean the worst.

Thinking of you OP and the other ladies who are going through similar worries at the moment. Hoping for a positive outcome for your all

[monikar]

I think you feel you have cramps because it is so worrying and it is on your mind so much. Like you say, some twinges are normal, and that is probably what you are feeling now. It is because you are highly tuned to everything because you are so worried.

Mr bloom - I was right, I don't recognise that from cbeebies. DD was obsessed with teletubbies, and then later the Tweenies.

[LST]

I'm bloody bleeding again! Argh. I'm so fed up. itself tourture. I'm waiting for the pain to start.

[LST]

It is*

[monikar]

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear this. I'm really hoping you are ok.

Would it be worth ringing the midwife and seeing if they can squeeze you in today as you are so worried?

[LST]

Her phones off Her message gives the number for mau but I'm too early in for mau to do anything about it. I might try have a sleep make the time go faster. I'm sorry to keep whinging on. There are people in a worse mess than me.

[SugarandSpice126]

I don't think you're whining, I think I would be really scared too, so am crossing everything for you.. Of course there will always be people in a 'worse' mess but that doesn't mean this is any less significant to you. I'm sorry you have to wait so long..I hope you've managed to sleep a bit too, and keep distracting yourself. I guess it's the not knowing that is awful at this point. But as people have said, the bleeding isn't always bad, so stay positive.

[Newtobecomingamum]

LST, so sorry to hear about your situation. Can't you just turn up at your A&E say that you are bleeding (also may have to over exaggerate and say that your in quite a lot if pain etc) and they should send you to the EPU at the hosp immediately for blood test and scan. I have been in your situation twice and went straight to A&E both times and was seen by EPU. First time sadly the blood tests for hcg levels confirmed in advance that the pregnancy wasn't developing normally and I was prepared to expect a mc and the second time the blood tests at EPU confirmed that the hcg levels were doubling every 48 hours and helped give me a little reassurance that the bleeding was ok etc and this time I went full term and pregnancy ok. I couldn't wait around like you, it must be torture!! Sorry if I've missed something in all the posts but why can't you go straight to A&E and get seen by the EPU? Thinking of you and sending a big hug X x

[newbie6]

Hi

I agree with newtobecomingamum, just turn up at a and e and exaggerate if needed but I think from what you say, you need to be seen. X

[LST]

newtobe I don't know really. I'm not bleeding badly at all and as I am only 7ish weeks I didn't think a&e would be bothered with me too much. When dp rang they told him to wait until I began to bleed significantly until I went there. Not very reassuring.

[Newtobecomingamum]

Hi, they will be like that on the phone and even to yor face but you say that you are bleeding and in a lot of pain. I didn't have masses of blood either both times but I was not leaving that hospital until I knew what was going on! However, they sent me straight to EPU so didnt have to insist too much. All this waiting about is stressful and not good for you. I would just want to know and get seen. If they can't see anything by scan the blood tests for hcg levels will be the best indicator at this stage, although you will need another blood test if 48 hours time also. It's up to you but It must be awful for you just waiting around. X

[Newtobecomingamum]

Ps I was only 5 weeks and the EPU saw me and only 4 weeks this time around X

[newbie6]

Newtobecomingamum is making a lot of sense LST, you need to stand up for yourself as all this worry is not helping you. Hoping everything will be ok for you x

[chryssa]

I hope everything goes well and Thursday comes quickly for you. Hugs xx

[rosieposey]

LST sorry you are going through this, you could really push to be seen by the EPU and hopefully they will see you but as i couldn't get any joy after a small bleed around the same time i went to a private clinic (babybond) and paid for a reassurance scan ( they should definately be able to see the heartbeat by now) and perhaps they can give you some peace of mind? I know its expensive ( about £70 if i remember rightly) but its worth it if EPU wont see you?

Hope it is all ok for you x

[mollieisnt]

Go to A & E Hun and tell then ur in pain don't move until u have been seen ! We all pay into the system so u are entitled to use it ! Sending big hugs , xx

[LST]

Ds is all tucked up and we have no one to have him. I am going to try and ring the midwife again in the morning.

Just a quick question.... Will I be in a serious amount of pain if I was mc? And there would be a considerable amount more blood x

[Badvoc]

Mollie.
Sorry, but that attitude stinks.
A straightforward mc is not a medical emergency. Distressing, yes. But not an emergency.
Accident and emergency - the clue is in the name.
Op....I have had 3 mc and they were all different tbh.
My last one was very straightforward. Bleeding. Pain. More bleeding. Then it stopped. My HCG levels were back to normal within 1 week.
It wasnt too painful - like strong period cramps. I took co codamol.
If it is any consolation...I had a threatened mc with ds1 at the same stage you are now and he turns 10 this week :)
After my last mc (see above) I got pg again straight away and ds2 is now 4.
I know the waiting is hard. I know. But they will not scan you at a and e unless you are bleeding very heavily or your health is in danger.
Take care x

[Badvoc]

(And the EPU would not scan me til I was 7 weeks as they said they wouldn't be able to see much)

[ShesAStar]

Hi, I a mc a few years ago and there was a lot of pain and a lot of blood, which was very red right from the start.
Hope this gives you some hope, I know how hard it is x

[Teaandflapjacks]

When I had my MC the bleeding went from dark dark brown to dark red, then bright red. I couldn't stop it - there was lots of it. When I had implantation bleeding with current pg it was basically like you have described - but I respectfully disagree with Badvoc (sorry *Badvoc!) TBH - I would get down there, and ask for a transvaginal scan. I did this (in Germany) and all was fine, and I was told by the doctors there I was right for coming in, you just don't know they said to me. I am not a doctor - and I can't see inside myself. In any case, once you start wondering what A&E is for its a whole can of worms (i.e. drunken morons hurting themselves). You are worried about your pregnancy, and have miscarried before - I wouldn't hesitate in your shoes hon xx

[notanaxemurderer]

Teaandflapjacks the OP has said she has a scan booked for Thursday. Unless she starts bleeding badly there isn't much point going to A and E before that time because it's not an emergency.

OP, best of luck. I really hope you get good news on Thursday.

[Teaandflapjacks]

ahhhh sorry missed that!! off to bed for me!

Thinking of you OP x
