Miscarriage this morning- how long does this pain last 😞

[Ttcbn1]

Hi all. It’s probably a silly thread to start as I know everyone’s experiences and bodies are different but I’m feeling desperately alone.
I found out a few weeks ago that I was pregnant and today I was approximately 6 1/2 weeks. My partner and I were so excited but I just felt all along that something wasn’t quite right. I am quite an anxious person and had heard horror stories from friends and somehow felt I was going to be one of the 1 in 4 statistic so I held my excitement back. Didn’t tel anyone but a few close friends. This morning I woke in the middle of the night with excruciating pains and cramps and knew it was happening. Passed a lot of blood initially and got myself booked in for a scan on Wednesday to triple check.
Emotions aside, I am physically in so much pain and have had constant cramping (way worse than period) all day. I haven’t been able to eat or stay still for two seconds due to the pain. Any advice on how long this might last?
Paracetamol and co codamol are not even touching the surface of the pain right now. Thanks x

I'd maybe call 111. You may need a scan sooner to check it's not ectopic. My mmc was painful but I'd had the tablets to bring it on after finding out at my 12 week scan. It was quite intense pain (like contractions) but co codamol did allow me to get some sleep.

So sorry you're going through this. Is your partner with you?

So sorry to hear this, but I would attend a&e as could potentially be ectopic... my miscarriage was four weeks ago and I know everyone is different my pain was intermittent but manageable x

Thank you both. Yes my partner is with me and I think he feels absolutely helpless. Am going to see whether I can get to sleep soon (having been sleep deprived last night) but if the pain keeps me up I will definitely take your advice and phone 111. ❤️ thanks for your support x

My first thought was to get checked out or ring 111. With my first mc at 5 weeks I had around two hours of cramping and bleeding then period like cramps for the night. My second at 7 weeks was dull cramps then I passed the pregnancy and physically was much better. Emotions were another matter entirely though. Sending a virtual hug to you.

I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. Mine started out with cramps that got worse and worse and went to hospital for scans to make sure not ectopic but I was in a lot of pain and very heavy bleeding with clots for around 4 days that no amount of medication would help. I had to be off work for a few days and spent it in bed.
I really feel for you hun. Seek some help as others have said.

Sorry OP don't bother ringing 111 - there really is nothing they can do - if you are bleeding like you say then unlikely to be ectopic (I've had 2 of them)
You really don't want to be sat waiting in a&e whilst bleeding - they won't prioritise you and you'll have to share the public loo - best to wait it out at home where you can be as comfortable as possible - get really strong painkillers - the ones with co codamol and have warm baths to relax your stomach muscles
(I've had 5 miscarriages at home - I went to a&e with the first one at 12 weeks and wouldn't bother going again - they can't scan you there and I was just booked in for a scan with EPU in 3 days time)

Only go to hospital if you are filling a pad quicker than every 15 mins x

I had one at 5 weeks last year and it was like severe period pains for hours until I eventually passed the pregnancy then the pain stopped and bleeding slowed down too. I didn’t have to resort to codeine so I would probably call for some advice, sounds severe if codeine isn’t helping.
