Hi all wonderful people who could possibly reassure me...
I am currently 12 weeks and 5 days pregnant and yesterday I attended my first dating scan. Everything was perfectly normal and I could finally spread the word that we are expecting... however... within 2 hours of me having my scan (wasn’t a vaginal scan may I add) I ended up suffering with bleeding which wasn’t heavy but wasn’t light... was in between mild and moderate. Was causing a little bit of cramping but to be honest I felt sore on my tummy due to the scan anyway as she was quite forceful on my tummy. I had panicked of course as I haven’t bled at all during this first trimester and I went up to the early pregnancy unit and they refused to scan me until the bleeding got heavier and I passed clots!!! They were however able to check my cervix and said it’s closed which is suppose to be a good sign but was still classed as a threatened miscarriage. They sent me on my way and I kept bleeding every time I walked and went for a wee but not enough to cover a whole pad. My bleeding eventually stopped on the evening and I called back this morning about me getting a scan to check everything is ok but from what they told me was that they will not scan me and take it as everything is fine, I can only have a scan if i start bleeding heavy etc. I think this is disgusting as I had a missed miscarriage last year and obviously I am going out my mind as I cannot announce my pregnancy until I know for sure everything is ok. The nurse did say that she saw my cervix was raw and I was bleeding actually from cervix so I have no idea what that means. I have booked a scan this Friday privately because I can’t go on and be happy until I know for sure but if anyone could advise me on what I’ve experienced this would be much appreciated x
