Terrified I’m MCing - Warning TMI pictures!

[Birchgirl]

Hi everyone currently 11 weeks into my first pregnancy and I think I might be having a miscarriage. The time line of events are:

1 week ago: started having very light spotting (brown) and only there when I wiped.

Yesterday: stated to have slight cramping which only lasted a few hours but had browny/ red discharge in my knickers. This concerned me so I went to a nearby hospital where the doctor examined me and said that my cervix was closed. She said that what she saw didn’t concern her but she booked me in for a scan this Wednesday just to be sure.

Today: Woke up to no discharge or cramping. A few hours later, when wiping the first 2 images happened. Just light brown discharge but the second was more of a lumpy discharge (no blood clots though).

And just now the third picture happened which has made me even more concerned as it looks more red.

Does anyone have any idea what’s happening to me? I’m trying not to stress or work myself up but it’s really hard to

I've had a miscarriage previously and am currently 10 weeks pregnant and I've had spotting twice in this pregnancy. Have you done any heavy lifting or had an orgasm/sex? This can cause spotting. If you haven't got any pain I wouldn't be too concerned (easier said than done!!!) I would ring EPU and see if they can get you in tomorrow. If it continues ring 111 for advice. Try to lay down and relax. Hope you are ok xxx

Did your spotting look like mine? @xxLeanne128

I’ve read that spotting is common I’m just panicking that the kind I’m having isn’t. I carried heavy shopping today? But I was at a concert this weekend which involves a lot of walking? I’m having slight cramping on and off which is adding to my worry. I think I might ring them tomorrow xx

Some cramping is normal, it's the feeling of everything down there expanding.
You may have over exerted yourself, maybe take a couple of days off and relax and try and get checked/scanned when possible
Hope it all goes okay!

When I had miscarriage at 8 weeks it was much, much heavier than that quite quickly- started fri night- more than spotting, by time I saw OOH at 10am sat, there was no mistaking why was going on.
However, everyone’s bodies are different/ the hardest thing to accept in my next (successful) pregnancy was that there were no absolutes, no clear cut things- until a scan/ pregnancy test tells you otherwise you ARE pregnant. Try to relax and look after yourself.
You could easily have over done it and it will settle.
Good luck- the little one is just preparing you for a lifetime of worry.

I hope everything is ok for you. Spotting can be completely normal but looking at yours, I would be most concerned by the clot. Clots generally aren’t a good sign. I also don’t want you to feel as reassured as I did by ‘brown being normal because it’s old blood’. My spotting with my MMC at 11 weeks looked like your first pic but because it was brown, I was assured it was normal and it obviously wasn’t.

Have your symptoms disappeared at all? I do hope everything is ok .

With both of my successful pregnancies I had spotting that looked VERY similar to the 3 photos you posted. When I had the miscarriages, it also started off as only brown spotting when I wiped however within hours had turned into heavy red bleeding (bar when I had the MMC when there was no bleeding at all). Best of luck for tomorrow - I’ll be thinking of you.

I had spotting like the first 2 pictures at 12 weeks and everything was fine. Apparently it's common around this time as the hormones change over to being produced by the placenta.
Keep rested and keep an eye on it. I was always told not to worry unless its heavy, painful and/or with clots (although obviously you do worry)

Pictures 1 and 3 yes. I'd just get scanned for peace of mind and take it easy xx

I went to OOH last night due to the spotting getting more red. They took my bloods to check my hormone levels and the nurse said that they are absolutely fine. She examined me again and said everything looked fine. So fingers crossed!

The spotting in the second photo was more of a ball of discharge (sorry tmi!) than a clot tbh but it did concern me.

I’m booked in tomorrow for an early scan. Just wish they could give me one sooner, it’s the not knowing that’s killing me!

Thank you all so much for your kind words

Hope all turns out well for u op xx

Keeping everything crossed!

Fingers crossed everything goes well for you. I've had similar for the past 24hrs but hoping it's due to intercourse and will resolve itself. I'm approx 6 weeks.

Hi, obviously check but I’ve had that and more in all my pregnancies.
Hope it goes well x

Sorry for the late responses but unfortunately I did have a MC. It came as a complete shock due to me being nearly 11 weeks and I’m absolutely devastated :(

Thank you all for your comments

I’m so sorry Birthgirl :-(. I’ve been there several times so wholeheartedly feel for you and am thinking of you. Huge hugs x

Sorry, BIRCHgirl...stupid phone!!!

Take time to look after yourself. Allow yourself to grieve for the baby and recover physically and mentally. Do you have a supportive partner?
I had a mc at 10 weeks a few years ago and was devastated. Much longed for baby. It's tough. Fortunately I went on to have a successful pregnancy a few months later. I really hope the same happens for you when the time is right.

Saw your update.gosh so sorry.please take care both of you.

Thank you all for your kind messages. My partner has been my absolute rock. Just feel a mixture of sadness and anger as we had been actively trying for this baby and it was much wanted. I just can’t help but feel cheated :(

It’s the shittiest thing the universe can do to you.
Be cross, be sad, be whatever you want. Look after yourself- it takes time. The truth is, this is frighteningly common, and most women go on to have successful pregnancies.
But right now it’s shit.
