but know what will be will be, though I might be worrying unnecessarily.

I am 11 + 5. Last pregnancy miscarried at 11 wks exactly. Have had on and off spotting (brown and mucusy on wiping after toilet) since 6 wks. Had scan at 7 wks and all looked okay. Leaking/spotting has been continuous now for last couple of days and horrible stomach cramps at present and blood is looking dark read. Dating scan on Friday. Don't know whether to wait until then or should I contact EPU for earlier scan. The positive side of me is thinking if this was happening at 6 wks and all was okay then it probably is all okay now. But worried coz it's a bit more on wiping now and dark red rather than brown. dd's 4th birthday today so trying to concentrate on that at the mo...

Big hugs honey as I can imagine how you are feeling.

I would personally contact the EPU just now and ask for some advice. Even if it just puts your mind at rest.

Hi hun

It seems a long way for your mental health to survive until Friday. I would contact EPU, spotting and an earlier mc gives you every reason to, so no need to feel bad or guilty about it, you are not wasting their time.

Contacted EPU this morning but couldn't fit me in until tomorrow a.m. Blood turned bright red today and heavier, tho not filling sanitary pads at the moment, just lots of blood when I go to the toilet. Phoned doctor who suggested go to a and e. Went there this afternoon but they didn't do much, sent me home until scan tomorrow a.m. Nothing I can do except wait for morning. Feel horrible, stomach cramps bad, and preparing for worst. Dont want to go to tilet. Just want to cry. Really was beginning to hope this time would be okay.

So sorry you're having such a terrible time. Just wanted to say I know exactly how you feel and that my thoughts are with you. The waiting's the worst part isn't it?

Thinking of you today and hope the scan gives you good news. x
