Threatened miscarriage

[madgiebean]

I posted a question yesterday about whether or not I should be concerned about sporting after sex. I went to my EPAU today and they called it a threatened miscarriage due to bleeding. They didn't seem concerned as when they did an examination my cervix was closed and I had no pain when they checked my tummy.

(Touch wood) I've had no bleeding since last nights small episode and I've had my usual period style cramps, although I've been panicking about them more so now but I know they're nothing out of the ordinary.

I'm booked in for a scan on Thursday to make sure all is well but I just wondered if anyone else had a similar experience? I don't feel too worried at the minute as the doctor didn't seem too concerned because there didn't appear to be any blood around or coming from my cervix. I still can't help but worry and I'm putting the bleeding down to having sex which I'm going to take a break from for the time being!

Spotting not sporting!

It's the most stressful thing in the world, poor you. I've had 2 trips to the EPU with tiny bits of spotting and all was well. It happens to lots of people. Hopefully this will comfort you.

I do think that it would have gotten worse by now if it were going to; the fact that it has stopped bleeding for 24 hours sounds positive. Fingers crossed for you.

Hi hun, they usually refer to any bleeding as a threatened miscrraige because the miscarriage hasn't actually taken place and might not I wouldn't worry too much unless the bleeding becomes period like and heavy xx

Sorry to hear you've had some spotting. It's not happened to me personally but I know some ladies do encounter spotting after sex in pregnancy. I think the blood comes from the cervix. I'm sure that's all it will be. Pleased you have a scan booked which will help put your mind at ease.

Thank you all I'm feeling a lot more reassured. I've still had no bleeding since so everything remains as normal so I'm really hoping the scan on Thursday can finally put my mind at ease!

Hi mrsd glad I've finally been able to join you on the pregnancy board! I've read the blood can come from the cervix and to be honest it was such a light pink colour I didn't think it had came from anywhere too internal if you get me. Fingers crossed though!!

I had this early on and it was also called a 'threatened miacarriage'. They offered numerous explanations for the root of the bleeding from cervix to a bit of the lining to not enough hormones to block the period yet to no reason.

Anyway, nearly three years later and I have my beautiful DS and all is well

Try not to worry, though that is easier said than done

Thank you ThisFence that's very reassuring. I think if they explained everything without calling it a threatened miscarriage id feel a lot better. I take great comfort in knowing other people have had similar sort of spotting and gone on to have completely healthy babies so hopefully it will be the same for me

I had this with both my babies. I actually found the early scans really reassuring - reduces chance if miscarriage occuring to see heartbeat - and doctors and nurses so kind to me. Both pregnancies were fine! Good luck.

Hello madgie pie* hope you're well.

Relax & stay positive; hopefully all will be fine.

I'm 17 weeks pregnant now but from 6 weeks onwards I'v at times had blood after sex which the doctor said was normal and not to worry.
I had a LOT of blood at 12 weeks whilst driving; went to a&e was told it IS a misscarraige.

Next day had a scan and it was a blood clot that had caused it and baby was fine.

Moral: Always stay positive, sometimes what seems the worst can turn out to be nothing. hugsforyou xx

Thank you Alanna and Fatty

Just going to try and take my mind off things till Thursday (although my google search history suggests otherwise).
