EARLY PREGNANCY SCARE PLEASE HELP!

[shannonb94x]

I apologise in advance if I give too much info & i also apologise at how long this post is.. but I really need some advice, whether it be good or bad! .. roughly two weeks ago on sunday morning I had brown discharge when I wiped, so I phoned my midwife who advised me to go to hospital. so off I went with my emotions everywhere as this is my first pregnancy and I have no clue what to expect. They done all the bloodworks & tests imaginable, but according to my hgc levels something wasn't right (thought I was roughly 8wks) .. I got kept in for a suspected ectopic :( I woke Monday to bright red bleeding, clots & severe pain. So I got told what nobody wants to hear, I had lost my baby! I had to stay in for further obs to ensure I was ok. Well my hcg levels had risen for 700 to 2000 in just over 2 days! so I had a scan, but all they could see was a sac, nothing else. so I got sent home with the news that my baby was gone and my levels would soon come right down. I had to go back the following Thursday for a scan to ensure that everything had left my body, but there it was.. A BABY!! turns out im only 4 weeks & 6 days, but as the baby was low down in the sac the nurse said she didn't think it would continue, I had more bloods taken and was sent home. I had a phone call the following morning to say my hcg levels had fallen back down to under 1000 and the nurses words were 'it doesn't look good'. & that was that! but now all I have is brown discharge, which the nurse informed me that its not an active bleed & I will soon start passing the baby naturally, hopefully soon. But im so confused, how can it go from not being a baby, to there suddenly being a baby, but now im going to lose my baby :(!! i feel like iv already grieved once, i cant bare to grieve all over again. I am only 20 years old but after seeing a positive pregnancy test i became so ready to be a mum. Has anyone had anything similar & had a happy ending? I am practically expecting to lose my baby all over again, but i just cant help but HOPE & PRAY that i might have a little miracle inside me! please help :(

I would ask the early pregnancy unit for a scan when you are approx 6 weeks if no bleeding has begun. Call soon though and make the appointment. If you aren't bleeding, either your pregnancy is continuing and they will see a heartbeat or your baby will not pass naturally.

I have had 2 losses, one at 6 weeks and one at nearly 19. Please demand to be seen so you know either way. I really do know how you feel sweet. But please do ask to be seen again.

Sorry that should read that either your pregnancy is continuing or sadly you have miscarried but the baby is not going to pass naturally. xx

sorry i forgot to say i have a scan booked in for next Friday as doctors want to make sure that either all is ok, or if the worst has happened there going to intervene.. i just dont understand as 1 minute theres no baby, then the following week theres a baby! also there was no heartbeat as nurse said 4wks 6 days i too early to find a heartbeat.
Sorry for your loses Spamminit, such a horrible experience to go through xx

??

Sorry I didn't see your reply yesterday. It is perfextly normal to not see the heartbeat at 4+6. I am surprised you saw a baby, when I was scanned with my angel baby at 5 weeks there was just a yolk sac visible and then when I returned at 6 weeks a 'fetal pole' was seen with heartbeat.

Please do not stress and make sure you are taking it easy, put your feet up a lot and eat and sleep well xx

I got a bfp on the 21st march. On the 23rd I was sick extremely sick and was dizzy all day falling asleep in work and very pale. Got home into bed after work about 10pm and wasin agony ccouldn't move at all the pain rushed through my body from my vagina up to my breasts right through my rib cage I felt paralyzed by the pain dp helped me to bathroom and I sat there barely able to balance or move without squealing. I phoned the midwife she told me to get up as soon as possible. I go to my maternity unit and say the doctor still screaming in pain she scanned me couldn't see anything and by the dates of last mentrual which was 31st january I should have been 7 weeks. She couldnt see anything so another consultant came in and scanned me and told me the pregnancy was in my fallopian tubes they got me in an ambulance and I was whisked off to another hospital by blue flashing lights for emergency op to remove tube and ovary with baby in it. I got there they gave me morphone for pain I instantly fell asleep it was so much relief, the Dr said I had stabilized my bp was stable enough towait til morning for surgery so she nmademe fill in forms about permission to operate whether I wanted baby tested for reasons of ectopic etc etc,... So 6 am they get me dressed in gown for surgery and 8am surgeon comes round I asked him to scan me again as I felt a lot better he said no reason to I demanded a scan before surgery and he then gave in and did it. He discovered a very large ruptured ovarian cyst, which had caused the pain and had caused a lotof fluid to gather in my pelvis. The watched my hcg levels which were only 280 when I went in and two days later they had only reached 460 they said they didn't think baby would survive obviously devastated two days later I get discharged to a consultant at my epu who could only see a sac. She told me to return next day and wen I did I was informed the sac had shrunk and the baby hadn't survived and that I had to return on the Monday for follow up but things would pass naturally on the Monday sac had tripled in size but still no heart beat for 7 weeks. So had to go back two weeks later and there was a baby and heart beat and then had to returntwo weeks ago and my baby was 9 weeks then and now iI'm 11 I would say be hopeful it could be that u ovulated late like and dates are rong
I really hope your are like me op all the best

Thank you so much both. It really is interesting listening to other stories. I know my outcome may not be as successful as others, but its all about learning :) wishing you a hopeful pregnancy x

Shannon- don't give up hope yet, there is a chance it was twins and one of which has not made it. Your increase in hcg was very high and then the decrease, could easily be a vanishing twin. You will need to wait for your scan in a few days to see what is really happening. I hope that it is good news for you, and not sad.

Thank you willitbe, iv got everything crossed :) I am counting down the days til Friday!
