Hi everyone,
I am supposed to be 9 weeks pregnant according to the normal calculations. Last week i started to bleed and had to go to the hospital. The doctor had a look and said that it looked like a miscarriage, he took a blood test to check the hourmons and i was supposed to have a scan this week. However i got horrible pains and had to go back on the next day. He had a look again and said that it is 100% deffinately a miscarriage. He even took the bits out and showed me and said that it was the tissue I was put to hospital overnight and had a scan next morning. The person who scanned said that there was a tiny baby still in there. But she couldn't see the heartbeat. And she said that it didn't look like a 9 week old and also the heartbeat should be seen when the fetus is 9 weeks old. Now i'm waiting for the next scan to see if the heartbeat will be seen, and if my baby is alive. Does enyone know what might have happend. Could it be that those "tissues" what the doctor took out where just bloodclots or is it possible that it could have been a twin. Although the lady who took a scan said that she cant see any traces of another fetus. Would the twin be smaller than a single fetus? I have a scan in few days now but i can't stop thinking what happened and if my baby is ok.

Hi Viigimari,

So Sorry to hear you're having such a traumatic time. I'm sorry I can't help answer any of the quesions you ask, but hope my own experience provides some reassurance. I fell down the stairs at 14 weeks and lost some lumps of greyish, blood-stained tissue a copule of hours later. Both me and GP thought it was the start of a miscarriage so had emergency scan which showed a perfectly healthy baby and my pregnancy has progressed really well. No-one could tell me what the tissue was for sure, midwife speculated it could just have been matter from around the cervix. I'll be praying that your experience is something similar and that your little baby hangs on in there. Good luck and best wishes x x x
