Hello everyone,
This is my very first post on here and I think I am doing it for moral support rather than finding answers.
I am currently 6+3 weeks pregnant and started spotting about 5 days ago. First it looked pinkish but now it is more of a brown colour with "stringy bits". I had a miscarriage back in March that started exactly the same, but I was told not to worry as long as there is no red blood. I even went on holiday. 4 weeks later I miscarried. They told me the baby had died at about 5 weeks which is about the time of the very first spotting.
It took my body a long time to reset. I still tested positive 3 weeks after I had miscarried. The physical pain was not any worse than my periods are. The emotional pain is something I don't wish upon anyone.
I was so happy when I fell pregnant again a few weeks ago and despite what had happened, I wasn't too anxious. That changed very quickly when I started seeing blood again. There is no way I will be waiting 4 weeks again to pass the pregnancy tissue.
I have a 3 year old daughter who was born in Germany. Over there, everyone has their own dedicated gynecologist and you can ring them every time you are worried and they scan you there and then. I didn't have any bleeding in my first pregnancy but as it was my first one and I didn't know what to expect at all, I called the practice almost every other week and she saw me every time. I feel like here we are told by a GP (who is not specialised in this field) to just wait and see. I find this very hard emotionally. Even though there is nothing they could do, it is still a lot better to know rather than worry oneself sick.
I have booked a private scan for later this afternoon as I just cannot wait again for this to happen and me being completely unprepared.
Is there anyone here who has a similar story but with a happier ending?
