Am I Miscarrying???

[OliviaFullman]

Please help me!

I woke up on the early hours of this morning with sharp period pains. When I went to the toilet there was red blood and I am still losing red blood now.

I wouldn't be so concerned if there wasn't the pain too.

I am 12 weeks tomorrow and due my 12 week scan on Tuesday. After calling the Emergency EPU at 4am they have cancelled my routine 12 week scan in favour of an "emergency scan" which isn't until Wednesday!!!

I don't know what to do. This is my first pregnancy and I am 34.

My sickness and sore breasts have subsided so I'm worried that I have lost my baby: having to wait for 3 days seems crazy to me!

Olivia

I'm so sorry. Wishing you all the best for the future xxx

Awful news for you. Be kind to yourself and all the best for the future

I am so so sorry Olivia. This happened to me too, around a month ago. Though I was 9+4 and bsby had stopped developing around 6 weeks. There really are no words. All I can say is support is here. There are so many of us who have been through similar and can offer support at this awful time. Thinking of you. Be kind to yourself. xxx

I'm so sorry to hear you are going through this. I've been there too I lost my first baby I didn't know anything had happened until my 12 week scan. It's an awful thing to go through and it takes time to feel stronger. I never thought I would feel stronger but I did and I've got a dd and one on the way.
I'm thinking of you xx

My partner is staying at home for another 2 weeks bless him. He said he couldn't possibly leave me right now. I'm so blessed xx

That's really good much needed support. Snuggle up together and talk it over as much as you can, both of you are grieving. xx

Oh OP I'm so sorry to hear.

I'm glad your OH will be with you, take care of yourself

I'm so sorry to hear this. Glad you've got support.

Sorry to read this olivia lots of love. Glad your DP is with you xx

I've been where you are, I'm so very sorry. I'm glad you have a supportive husband. In terms of the D&C procedure I was a bit worried but actually I found it very straight forward. It's the emotional healing that's tougher. I hope all goes smoothly for you on Thursday. Take care

I'm so sorry my lovely, make sure you rest and find support in ur partner. Sending you a lot of love

I'm sorry for your loss. The same thing happened to me it April. It's an awful experience to go through and I wouldn't wish it on anybody.

Been where you are twice, and now have two DC. My first miscarriage was at the age of 32 so not far from where you are now.

Be kind to yourself and rest. Allow yourself time to process it.

I'm so glad you have a supportive DP

I'm so sorry

So glad your DP can stay. Take care.

Really sorry to hear this Olivia, take care of yourself

I'm so sorry big hugs to you x

Oh I'm so sorry Olivia - I was really hoping it wasn't the case for you

You may find by Thursday that you've passed everything anyway before the procedure.

Looking forward to another message from you soon telling us all you're pregnant again and all is well, in the meantime grieve, but start looking forwards - you'll get a lot of support here from us mums who have had miscarriage(s) and gone on the have babies - I have had three situations the same as you and multiple times had positive pregnancy tests only to get my period a week or so later, but I have two children now. Thinking back to those very sad times when I learnt of miscarriages doesn't go away but it's a joy when your babies do arrive (and kept me sane through many a night of sleeplessness with them thinking I'll never sleep again .... but I wouldn't change that for the world)

Be with your husband, cry, do something to mark your baby (we let helium balloons into the sky) and above all be good to yourself - it'll happen xxx 💕

Poor you
I miscarried at 5 weeks, went on to have DD who is nearly 10. Much love xxxx

sorry to hear this x

Sorry to read this sad news. I had a very similar situation at the end of last year.
I recovered very quickly physically and thought I did emotionally because it wasn't as gut wrenching as some other non baby related things I have been through, and because I was so grateful to have my lovely partner supporting me. When I look back now however I was very sensitive, anxious and emotional for a few months, and should have been kinder/more understanding on myself. I was annoyed I didnt feel like myself just a month later and now I realise that was unrealistic. Make sure you dont underestimate the emotional recovery from a trauma like this.
I fell pregnant again the first month of trying, hope that reassures you.
Take care x

So sorry to hear this! Sending love and hugs your way

I am so sad to read your post. I had similar situation. I had miscarriage in April at around week 3. I never knew I was pregnant until i had sharp pains and bleeding. My bleeding lasted for 10-12 days.
I am now 5 weeks again hopefully all will go ok this time 😒🙁

I've just come back on here this morning to be greeted with an incredible amount of messages of love and support from you all.

Each and every one of you have touched me with your words.

No woman should ever have to go through this but to know that so many of you have and have been able to move forward is of great comfort to me.

My DP and I have found it somewhat easier to process knowing that our little life didn't progress much past 5-6 weeks as opposed to so many of you who have lost tiny babies much further along.

This experience has brought him and I so much closer together and deepened our bond and love for one another.

I feel truly blessed to be as well looked after and cared for by so many family & friends but also by a group of wonderful women whom I have never met.

Thank you so much to ALL of you for taking the time to let me know you are thinking of me: it has meant the world to me and DP.

Xxx

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a similar thread when I was going through my misscarrage and it was so much help.
