Possible miscarriage??

[DublinGirl93]

Hi guys,

On Sunday night I started bleeding really lightly more like pink discharge. This stopped at around 12 and than it came back around 2pm on Monday afternoon. It started to become more heavier in colour and a few tiny blood clots. This continued in to Tuesday becoming heavier than lighter and mixing between light pink red dark red and brown. On Tuesday I decided to book a private scan as my midwife said they won’t scan me because I am under 6 weeks pregnant. I was 6 weeks pregnant on the Wednesday and I rang the midwife on the Tuesday. So I decided to go for the private scan on Wednesday night with my partner. I was bleeding when the scan was being done but I was told that the sac was were it should be and that everything looked perfect. The sac was measured at 6mm. I had no haemorrhaging and they advised me to come back in 2 weeks. I left really happy knowing our baby was ok and is were it should have been. I continued to bleed on the thursday and than at 3pm on Thursday I was in a shop and I get a hush of blood pour out of me along with big clots. I went to my car and looked down and I bleed right through my trousers. I rang the midwife who told me to go to A&E. I went straight to A&E and I got my blood pressure done and was told I could have a scan on Friday or it would be Monday. After going to a different nurse she said because I had a private scan done the night before that they won’t scan me again because as far as they are aware the baby is happy. Bare in mind I met the criteria of getting a scan through the NHS as I was bleeding heavy and I’m over 6 weeks. She tried to get me in for a scan but I’ve been told no I’ll have to basically wait it out for a week to see if I’m miscarrying. I than rang where I got my private scan done today to see can I get another scan done over the weekend and I’ve been told it’s their policy that I can’t have a scan done till 2 weeks after my previous scan. The nurse in the private scan clinic advised me it sounds like haemotoma and I could possibly be still pregnant. I am so confused and all I want is a straight forward answer of yes I’m pregnant or no I’m not than I’ll try again. Has anyone gone through the same and what was the outcome? I can’t wait 2 weeks to find out if I’m possibly pregnant or not. The waiting is killling me !!

I'm sorry youre going through this, in my experience they can't really confirm a miscarriage until afterwards, whenever I've had bleeding in early pregnancy, my scans have shown a sac and they said things look good and ask me to go back two weeks later, where they scan again and confirmed the losses

Bleeding lots with clots unfortunately isn't a good sign, for some people it is caused by a haematoma but it isnt as common as you think, im sorry :(

I’m sorry you are feeling in limbo at the moment it is a horrible feeling. I was going to say you’ve unfortunately just described how my miscarriage at 6.5 weeks progressed last month. I didn’t seek any medical help though as I knew there wasn’t anything could be done anyway. I just confirmed it by retesting a couple of weeks later. In my experience epu are mainly looking for ectopic pregnancies when they scan very early, I had a suspected ectopic with my first child due to terrible pains around 6 weeks, once they confirmed the sac was in the correct place they were reluctant to offer a second scan. They said something like “you can have a second scan if you like but there really isn’t any need to”, I said yes anyway. Your early scan has confirmed it’s not ectopic so offering you another scan so close to the other won’t show anything different unfortunately.

It is rubbish just waiting so you do have my sympathy.

It is rubbish waiting to see.
As it’s so very common and as there is absolutely nothing that can be done it’s not something that they rush unless you are having major haemorrhage or severe unmanageable pain.

Doesn’t make it easy when you are going through it.
Ime just take their advice and guidance and wait it out.
Sorry you are going through this, it’s hellish I know.

@DublinGirl93 Although I cannot give you any advice I’m also going through the same thing. I would have been 7 weeks on Wednesday and have been bleeding on and off for almost 2 weeks. I had a scan at 6 weeks 1 day and they said everything was fine and there was a heartbeat. I continued to bleed so went back on Monday where they done and internal examination and said that my cervix was closed! I have bled every day since then but because the bleeding isn’t filling a pad every hour and I’m not in any pain the hospital refuse to see me again. I have been told to wait 2 weeks and do another pregnancy test to see if it is positive! The anxiety and worry of it all is making me so unwell. I really hope you get the answers you need sooner and sending lots of love your way x
