Pretty sure I’m paying for bad news.

So just a sob story really and seeking for some hope.

Had a MMC in April. I also had a difficult two months being pregnant because of a hemmorage causing bleeding. Very long and drawn out and traumatic MMC with failed procedures and several repeat scans to determine what was actually going on.

Found out I was expecting again in July and was so excited as I’ve heard so many positive stories of women going on to have a happy healthy pregnancy after a loss.

At 6 weeks I had a bleed and was told at the EPU the sac is only measuring 5 weeks and I have a large SCH (subchorionic hematoma) and I’ll need to return in two weeks to see if there is progress. But I am again high risk for a miscarriage. Large sigh.

More bleeding and spotting has followed (not loads) but the same as last time that lead to my miscarriage. I CANNOT sleep. I’m just so stressed it’s horrible. One minute I’m positive and the next I’m the gloomiest person I know. Every announcement is another stab in the heart. I hate myself for saying that. Sorry.

So. I’ve just paid an extortionate amount for them to HOPEFULLY tell me either way. I need to start the grieving process before I return to work.

I’ve got loads of events coming up the end of august. Including starting a new role at work and I just need to know.

Every inch of me is praying for a miracle and the little baby is holding on. But deep down I think I know.

Any amazing stories out there or even a hand hold at this point. Thanks so much everyone. Wishing you all the best x

The little baby is hanging on in there! It was lovely to see. Measuring behind what I thought. But grown over a week from last week so that worry is gone.

Unfortunately the SCH is even larger now! The sonographer was very shocked at the size of it. I’m going to follow up with more advice from a midwife and EPAU. As I do feel like a ticking time bomb.

But for now a beating little baby has cheered up thanks for all of your kind words and wishes x x

So so pleased for you x fingers crossed that SCH reduces and goes away

Ahhh great news! Sorry the SCH has grown, hopefully it’ll start to reduce down soon but at least baby seems to be growing on track ☺️ Got my fingers crossed that everything progresses as it should for you xx

Aw glad you had good news today.

Ahhh lovely news that baby is still holding on. They recommended to me pelvic rest - so no heavy lifting or sex, but also no orgasms in general. Just try to be suuuuper gentle with that entire area. I hope it starts to shrink x

I read this earlier but didn't have time to reply - so pleased to check in & read your update OP. It's a case of taking day by day & at times hour by hour in these situations isn't it. I hope things continue well 👍🏻

Hi,

Im sorry to jump your thread but im so upset
Congratulations on your positive scan. I hope you feel better.

Im on my 5th pregnancy, ive had 3 M/C, i had my son on my 3rd pregnancy but lost his twin. All conceived by fertility treatment.

I had a scan on Tues at 5+3 after some funny pains, all was fine, seen a sac, yolk sac and measured great
I started spotting ever so slightly the next day, but i was barely there.
Today, i started cramping and went to the loo to discover red blood.
My boobs didnt feel sore anymore.
I went to the EPU, they wouldnt scan me as i had a scan tuesday but checked my cervix and it was long and closed.
The doctor wasnt optimistic, said with my history, im likely to lose the baby

Luckily i have a scan tomorrow with the fertility clinic but in petrified that this is all over.
My boobs soreness has come back, not at bad, the bleeding has slowed but i am still bleeding.

This was out last chance of giving my boy a sibling... i feel awful that this may not happen for him.

Any positive stories, i need to read more.

Sorry again for jumping in

Apologies for the typo's, my eyes hurt

Thanks all for your lovely replies. It’s such a journey but taking it day by day and looking after myself is all we can do

Hi @EdandNed I’m so sorry for your difficult history :( I do hope that it’s not bad news for you tomorrow. As my story has shown bleeding isn’t always the sign of the worst. It’s definitely not normal and in my case it’s classed as high risk. But babies can be resilient. I’m glad they are seeing you tomorrow. I was where you were last night. It wasn’t a great night sleep but I watched trash TV and had my favourite food just to be kind to myself. Which I suggest you do

I’ve read what feels like the whole internet and there are lots of positive outcomes with bleeding in early pregnancy but give yourself a time limit because it can make you go crazy searching X x.

Sending a handhold

That's great news that baby is hanging in there @Catchafallingstar15. Rest as much as you can and hope that the haematoma starts shrinking soon.

It's early days yet @EdandNed. As a few of us can testify bleeding is not necessarily game over.

@Catchafallingstar15 Is there any way you could go on bed rest for a few weeks? I had to do that when I had my SCH. Also, have they offered you Progesterone? That should help.
