Hello,
I haver been lurking for a while and thought I'd be brave and seek your thoughts.
I have my 12 week scan on Wednesday and am dreading it. I am convinced something will have happened to the baby.
I had some very light spotting (dark brown) at 8 weeks and was referred to epau for a scan which showed all was well. I did begin to relax a bit after this. Then at 11 weeks there was red blood when I wiped after going to the loo. I spoke to the O&G doctor at the hospital ( I was at work at the hospital at the time) thinking that they would put me on the list for monday ( it was friday) the lovely doc examined me before she went home and took some swabs and a blood test. She said it looked like my cervix was possibly slightly open which obviously is not good. I obviously had a pretty shitty Friday night! The same doctor called me on the Saturday and said that a doc could squeeze me in for a scan that day ( I think they felt sorry for me as expecting bed news) the scan showed a moving baby with heart beat! We were thrilled! The blood is still there when I wipe, it has stopped for a day or two then started again a couple of times now and I just can't let myself think that all is ok only to have our hopes shattered at the scan o Wednesday. I am worried that I may become detached from the baby in order to try and protect myself. I still have not had the swab results- will the me have these? Or do I need to see my GP? I have spoken to my MW about this (though not in such depth) and she says I need to wait till scan which is reasonable and bleeding can be harmless but obviously sometimes this is not the case. I also wonder whether I may be able to have a scan between 12 and 20 weeks as I may be insane by then!
Just to add I ha en not had any pain at all and the blood is only when I wipe, nothing at aleast on a pad.
Sorry for such a long ramble but it's good to get it off my chest!
Any thoughts or anybody have similar experience?
Thank you x
