Scared - Second bleed early pregnancy

Hi everyone,

I’m 10 weeks + 1 day pregnant and have started bleeding today. Sort of light pinkish with a few bright red streaks. This pregnancy has been a bit of a rollercoaster for me - i was scanned very early on because of previous abdominal surgery and a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy and they couldn’t see the pregnancy so labelled it a pregnancy of an unknown location. I was then scanned again two weeks later when baby was seen (hurrah!) at 6 weeks with a heartbeat. At 8 + 2 weeks I started bleeding so was scanned and diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma which I was told would resolve itself. Today I’ve started bleeding again and feel utterly terrified. I noticed over the past few days my nausea and tiredness had disappeared which I put down to getting to 10 weeks but now I’ve got myself into a complete flap that it’s because I’ve lost the baby. I had a missed miscarriage in 2018 which began with light bleeding and nothing really progressed - I ended up having a D&C three days after they confirmed it at the hospital. My husband is not being supportive at all, he wasn’t keen on having another baby and hasn’t spoken to me about it at all since I discovered I was pregnant in December. I feel scared, vulnerable and so alone. I just don’t feel strong enough to go through another loss by myself while having to look after our children and juggling everything else going on.
Sorry for the long post - just wondered if anyone else had experienced similar xx

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you. They said to me that anything dark-ish is old blood from the haematoma being ejected. This is very graphic but at the end it turned to coffee grounds type texture. It was a bit grim!

@Jellington thank you! I’m on my way now, I feel like I have a zillion butterflies in my tummy 🙁 x

2 haematoma bleeds here and now getting kicked at 25 weeks, fingers crossed you're the same. The odds are good having had positive scans and a reason for the bleed Flowers

So an update...it wasn’t good news. I’ve lost the baby. I feel utterly crushed and just in a haze of disbelief right now. Due to Covid restrictions they can’t perform an ERPC until Monday which has me panicking that I might pass it at home which I don’t think I can emotionally handle right now. Thank you all so much for your kind words and positive thoughts. It has helped me a lot xxx
