Threatened MC

[virgo22]

Hi all, this is my first time posting however I find the threads on here helpful.
I am 9+5 weeks pregnant with baby no2 who is 11 months old, and the pregnancy went really straightforward with no complications.

With this pregnancy I had an early reassurance scan at 6+4 weeks and everything was fine and there was a really strong heartbeat.

Friday evening I noticed I had some brown blood in my pantyliner and a bit of red in the toilet when I weed. Then nothing in my pad but went toilet at 6am and there was more blood in the toilet. As the hours went on the blood continued.

After calls to the EPU they told me to go in. I had my bloods taken and also had an examination where they used something to check how much blood I was losing. The doctor came back and said that the neck of the womb was closed, he wasn't concerned about the amount of blood I was losing and also said there was no pregnancy tissue found.

Before I had the examination I was told to do a urine sample so they could check what came out, the nurse said she thought there might be some pregnancy tissue in there however the doctor checked and he said he wasn't concerned and it might not be pregnancy tissue. Anyway after them going back and forth I ended up signing the consent form they needed for this.

So the doctor said that it could be a threatened miscarriage and to keep an eye on the bleeding or any pain. He's booked me in to go for a scan on Tuesday which will confirm more.

Last night I had some more bleeding and had a blood clot, still no pain but there's definitely blood when I go to the toilet.
I have done some reading on hematoma and also cervical ectropion. I guess I'm just hoping for some positive stories to hear that the baby might be okay.

Has anyone been through something similar? It feels like it's going to be a long wait until Tuesday. Thank you for reading the long post xx

Oh I'm so sorry you are going through this, it's horrible and terrifying. I had the same thing in both of my pregnancies - a LOT of blood, and both times treated as a "threatened miscarriage", as far as I can tell the fact that your cervix is closed and there is no pain are good signs. I know I can't say for sure that you will have the same outcome but both of my babies ended up being absolutely fine, and I hope that gives you some reassurance. I had hematomas, although it wasn't visible on the earlier scan I had when I was bleeding and only diagnosed on a follow up a couple of weeks later. I really hope you get good news in your next scan and a healthy rest of your pregnancy.

@MistyQuigley thank you so much for sharing, it really does give me some hope. Did you notice that you bled more when going to the toilet at all? It sounds like it's a lot more common the more I'm hearing about it x

Yes I did seem to bleed more when I went to the toilet, or whenever I was more active.

@MistyQuigley ok thank you, that's the same with me! I was sick yesterday morning so I'm hoping that's a good sign. Only got until tomorrow now but it still feels like forever away!
