Miscarriage please help

[LorennaS]

I’m not sure exactly what the help is I’m looking for specifically. Last night I became incredibly sad, like devastatingly low and then a bit later when I went to toilet I had a bit of spotting. Later that eve I lay on sofa and started to get quite bad cramps. I went to bed and awoke at 4 bleeding and with bad cramps and have been in quite bad pain since. I rang GP and told her I’d had miscarriage but she said if I wasn’t filling a pad an hour it could be threatened miscarriage and has booked me into get a scan at local hospital at 3. However, the pain continues as does the bleeding and I feel I might be exposing myself to lots of people at hospital just to hear the inevitable? Do you think hospitals are quite dangerous places to be at the moment? Also it’s 40 minute walk away as I don’t have a car. Just feeling so overwhelmed and really like the pain has moved from mild cramps into something more evil. How long will it last? Eurgh I hate this!

There is no words that do this justice, but thinking about you. The scan is important to understanding what is going on, checking if you are miscarrying and if so, if it's happening as it should. It's a tough time, I've been there twice. Is there anyone who can give you a lift.

You need to go and get a scan. Not all bleeding in pregnancy means miscarriage, but even if this is a miscarriage you may still need medical intervention. Early pregnancy units will be separate from CV patients. Are any taxis still running where you are, could you get a taxi?

Thanks both for taking the time to respond. I did go and very glad I did as by that point it had got really bad. Was violently throwing up every few mins from the pain and had to have multiple invasive things happen! I’m sad, but feel lucky too in a strange way. And the trees outside my window are looking very pretty so that’s helpful! Will spend the next few days doing very little.

It's good to just take this time for yourself, your body physically and mentally will be going through alot. It is completely shit thing to happen.

It’s horrific. So cruel. I’m sorry you’ve been through it too. Thank you for your kindness in messaging. It means a lot.
