Threatened miscarriage...anyone had similar?

amylou131 · 27/09/2017 22:52

I'm 6+5 weeks pregnant and I noticed about 6:30pm tonight that I had been bleeding. I called 111 and because I've had 2 previous miscarriages and I don't feel well plus I've had a slight niggly pain on 1 side they sent me to the out of hours. They had a feel of my stomach and just told me the early pregnancy team will contact me in the morning as it's being treated as a threatened miscarriage. I've been wearing pads since spotting the bleed and had nothing since apart from a little bit on my tissue. I know I'm getting a phone call tomorrow and will no doubt get checked but I'm going out of my mind with it being on and off I don't know what's going on. Obviously I'm worried but should I be? Anybody experienced this before?

Yes, twice.
First one was a heavy bleed at 12 weeks. The result is now 20 and in his third year at university.
Second one was bleeding on and off from 7 weeks to 15, I've just spent the evening watching football with the 17 year old result of that threatened miscarriage.

I hope everything works out well for you Flowers

Did u get checked by the early pregnancy unit? If so how long did they leave u waiting before they see u? I think I'm a lot more worried as I have had 2 previous miscarriages....its took me a long time to decide that I want another baby because of that reason. This then happens so now I'm going out of my mind!!

I lost my first to a missed miscarriage, brown bleeding was my only sign. My second I had the same brown bleeding, followed by an internal scan in the USA(we were away), they saw a heartbeat. I had lots more bright red bleeding and it was a threatened miscarriage but she was ok and is now 8.

I know that feeling of waiting in fear and I feel for you. Hoping all is well x

I hope everything turns out to be fine. Long time ago now, but yes I experienced similar. I had niggly pains on one side and light bleeding. There was some concerns about the pregnancy being ectopic, although they did say that was v painful and mine was more on/ off cramps. An early scan showed that all was fine.
The waiting is absolutely awful, and you won't settle till you 100% know. I hope tomorrow brings good news. Best wishes x

I had this twice, one turned out to be a MMC the other turned into my 5 month old daughter who is asleep next to me.

I had to wait a couple of days to the seen at the EPU both tImes. It’s horrible not knowing, sending you a big hug xx

Thanks for your replies.....hopefully I won't be left waiting too long. Nice to see a majority have turned into healthy children. I feel a little more relaxed than earlier but obviously still worrying xx

amylou the first time was on a Saturday afternoon and an on call doctor made a home visit, I had my 12 week scan booked for a few days later so I was told to wait for that. Second time I hadn't even bothered to go to the GP to get the pregnancy confirmed as I was convinced I was miscarrying (my first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 7 weeks so I thought it was happening again) but when the bleeding continued I went at around 9 weeks and was scanned there and then and saw the baby with his heart beating. It was still a horrible worry though as the light bleeding continued almost daily. I remember sitting there often and being annoyed that my body wouldn't just get it over and done with if I was going to miscarry as the waiting was unbearable.

Hi im new to this site. Im going through exactly what your going through!! i was fine all morning at work, had my lunch anf started getting pains from one side of my pelvic...went straight to the hospital. Once i got there went 2 the bathroom and saw very light bleeding...They did a test and it came back negative however hospital test they dont wait for the full 3 minutes.

I've not had bleeding but did haa some pink spotting and a yellow phlegm like blob with a streak of red blood. Midwife told me to go to A&E where my blood pressure and urine sample were taken & i was given a paper with info on threatened miscarriage. I got a private scan the same day & saw heartbeat (tuesday) then saw heartbeat again on the Saturday with the EPAU. I'm now 9+3
