Spotting at 9 weeks

[farfromhome24]

I posted about this in a different thread but figured if I made a new one I'd get more replies, sorry if it's annoying.

So basically I'm 9+3 and I started spotting this afternoon and I never spotted in 9 weeks that I was pregnant. At first it was bright red with a small clot (sorry TMI) and after that every time I peed and wipes myself I kept spotting and now it's tuned in to a light bleeding. I was really worried and called EPU upon someone's suggestion from here. They said I need my gp's referral. And I just moved in this town from across the country. I don't a have gp yet. The lady who answered at EPU suggested we called out of hours and ask to see a gp. We did and got an appointment at 9.30pm. But it turned out it wasn't with a gp and he said he can't help me and need to see a gp on Monday and have us a letter for the gp so they would see on Monday.

Meanwhile he asked me to rest and if the bleeding gets worse, go to A&E. He said the scans don't determine if I'm having a miscarriage or not it just detects ectopic pregnancies. Is that really true.

I'm really disappointed I didn't get any help and I'm really stressed.

My sister suggested I go for a private scan tomorrow, I don't know what to do. Please advice

Sorry for the long post and sorry if I repeated myself and ignore any mistakes coz English isn't my first language

I just realised you can hear the baby's heartbeat in ultrasound! I've been misinformed by a medical staff!? I felt as if he was brushing it off and saying it's very common and shooed me off. I'm so naive😭I feel disgusted

This is a horrible situation you are in. I was I a similar situation, though I was 11 weeks pregnant at the time, unfortunately mine ended in miscarriage. A scan will detect a heartbeat so I think I would go for a private one if I was you, if you don't want to wait the weekend out. But if the bleeding is a sign of a miscarriage, there's nothing that can be done at 9 weeks, which is really upsetting. That's probably why the ooh told you they wouldn't give you a scan. I hope everything works out for you

This happened to me first pregnancy when I was around 7-8 weeks. It happened on a Saturday so I went to the walk in clinic at my local a & e. 5 hours later the doctor said I was having a 'suspected miscarriage' and put me on bedrest at home until the EPU could see me on the Tuesday. They gave me an early scan and found a heartbeat. I now have a happy 2 year old boy. It's horrible & so worrying, hope all works out well for you.

Thanks for replying. I've booked a private scan tomorrow. Hoping for positive news

How did you get on OP?

@NotTodayHun thankfully the scan went well baby's all good with a heart beat and they couldn't see why I'd been spotting. Got to the see the baby for the first time, it was unreal literally so relieved and happy

That's brilliant news. Glad it all went ok for you!

Congrats OP, hope all is smooth from here
