Miscarriage? Infection?

[Gee427]

Please help I’ve been put on progesterone peasants and have been taking them for a few days now. Today I woke up at 5:30am to go to the toilet and there was abit of red blood in my pad and it was trickling out of me a little it’s not a heavy flow and I changed my pad then. I’ve not had to change my pad since and it’s 14:40 but there’s still blood coming out of me and TMI it smells horrible I don’t know how to describe it I can smell it just laid in bed. I have awful stomach cramps and pains and I feel really weird I’m worried this may be a miscarriage. I’m 11 weeks 4 days pregnant. This is my second time being pregnant but I lost my other baby due to a miscarriage in august. I’m so scared it’s happening all over again.

Contact your local EPU.

I forgot to put this in sorry I’ve got a appointment with them tomorrow morning I’m just really scared and in my
head about it as my last miscarriage gave me ptsd I can’t stop thinking about it.

I’m so sorry this is happening. Unfortunately nobody here will be able to know the outcome but I really hope you get good news at your appointment tomorrow.

I'm really sorry, sounds like a potential miscarriage I've had 11 and they were like this every time.
Get EPU to give you a scan today if you can.

Thank you me too

I’m so sorry for your losses… I really am praying it’s nothing serious but I really doubt it…

Can you give the EPU a call and see if they can see you today due to the bleeding? I'm so sorry you are experiencing this. It's such an awful thing to experience x

Call EPU
Use paracetamol for the pain, and a warm Flannel if that helps.

Have you got a temperature? If so that can be an indicator of infection and you would need to be seen asap. I would contact the EPU today and see what they say, even if they tell you to hold off until your appt tomorrow morning at least they will be aware of what's happening right now. I hope everything is okay ❤️ x

I’m afraid they had nothing till Thursday they had to call another hospital and get me booked in there so I’m in at 11am tomorrow hoping it’s nothing serious the bleeding and clotting has stopped x

I’ve had paracetamol and a hot water bottle and it’s helped loads thank you

They wouldn’t let me till 11am tomorrow unfortunately I’ve got pictures of everything so I’ll let them know all my symptoms I thought I had a fever but I was okay after I ate some food so I think my blood sugar may have been low x

Really hope all is well with you and your baby is ok, progesterone pessaries can cause bleeding though as they irritate the cervix so hopefully its just that x

Yeah I did see that was a symptom I really hope that’s the case got my appointment in 1.5 hours x

Hope all goes well OP! Update us x

I'm so sorry you've got this worry. I've had a lot of miscarriages and it's so sad when it happens.
I hope you don't get bad news at your scan.

Hope everything is ok, thinking of you x

How many weeks were you when you lost your first baby, @Gee427?

Went for my scan and saw baby moving about and saw the heartbeat. Nurse said everything seems fine and it may be my hormones causing my bleed or the progesterone but everything seems okay!

So far the scan was okay baby was moving and heartbeat was there the bleeding may be hormonal so fingers crossed it’s nothing serious but she didn’t see any problems today, sorry for your losses I know it’s horrible x

The scan was okay! Baby’s fine thank god the bleeding is more than likely hormonal x

My baby stopped developing at 6 weeks and my body passed it out 2 weeks later

Oh wow, I'm really glad for you! That's good news!

My baby died 9 days ago….

I’m so sorry @Gee427
