Bleed getting heavier at 8 1/2 weeks - words of comfort please!

[gillian1973]

Hi all,
I have had a pretty text book pg up to now but started spotting on Tuesday and Wednesday and had a heavy bleed today. No pain though. Went to see doc yesterday and spoke with doc again today over phone. He has got me an early scan booked for Monday pm but I am so scared I won't make it until then.

Ironically I have my booking appointment with MW tomorrow and I saw this as such a milestone.

I really need words of comfort please, this is my first ever pg.

Hi Gillian. Just seen this and couln't not post. I m/c in April, no pain, just bleeding.

I am hoping and praying for a positive outcome.

Gillian - positive words coming up.

I miscarried twice 2 years ago, then finally became pregnant a year ago, I bled with all 3 pregnancies, my third was successful, i now have a 4 month old little boy. Of course your first thought when you bleed will be of miscarriage, but its not always the case. because it is such a taboo subject thats not talked about enough in my opinion, nobody knows the other reasons.
I would go to the scan with an open mind. Evryone is different, and your baby could be fine. Stay optimistic, and well.

Fingers crossed that the news is not bad.

However, I had a very similar experience with my first pregnancy - which was 4 yrs down the line from starting to try for a family - spotting at 9 wks - but went to A&E, who said all was OK but booked me in for an emergency scan the following day - ended up having D&C later that afternoon. Despite other complications that meant we couldn't do anything for a further 18 months, we now have a ds, 18 months who is absolutely perfect.

If things don't improve by the next scan, the thing that helped me get through things (to some extent) was thinking that if this one wasn't meant to be there must have been good reasons - but at least it means that you can conceive which is a great start. My thoughts are with you, particularly as I've just had a very early miscarriage myself (5 wks, so not really counting).

Dear all, its all over. Within an hour of my last post it all started to happen naturally at home. The pain got increasingly worse though and by midnight DH had to call an ambulance because I was writhing in pain. They gave me gas and air (so over rated ? no effect) and then morphine which did the trick. Got to the Gynecology and they did a full check up ? I have never met gentler, nicer people in my life ? stayed the night and was scanned this morning. It had all come away except a small piece of ?product? 2x6cm which they have waited all day to see if it shifted (didn?t). I have been sent home to see if it happens naturally and I am due to be scanned again on Monday to give me the all clear or intervene if appropriate.

This one was not meant to be, I know that. It is very, very sad that it is also our first pregnancy and it has really knocked my confidence. I?ll continue to pray that next time it is better news. Thank you for all your words of comfort, they have meant a lot to me.

Gill, I'm so sorry.
I hope things all happen naturally and you are able to move on, physically and emotionally.
I'm glad that the hospital staff were kind and thoughtful, this must have made it a little more bearable.
Rest up, take care of yourself and hope to see you again on a pregnancy thread when you're ready

Sorry about your news Gill. As sad as it is you sound really strong. Theres lots of us that have had m/c's and then gone on to have healthy pregnancies so try and keep your chin up. x

I had some light spotting too during my pg, we were always up to the epu, our 1 year old is now sound asleep upstairs!

It could be just that, but of course I can't guarentee it.

Fingers crossed for you x

Sorry about your news. I've been there, and its not a good place to be - but my 18month old is now happily asleep upstairs and makes everything better.

Thinking of you

So sorry

Oh God, I'm so sorry, I didn't read your last post, just the op.

So sorry for you.

so sorry you lost your baby
