Almost certain I’m miscarrying 😢

[Samthenanny]

this would be baby no2, I’m only 5 weeks and pretty certain I’m miscarrying, brown discharge/blood since 9pm last night, cramps, sore back but I still feel nauseous and have sore boobs.
it was such a surprise BFP as it’s been a long 8 months of trying.
is there anything to do? Or do you just wait and see?
I feel so sad, guilty and really low, only my partner knew and I’ve told him obviously, he’s being lovely and caring. I’ve come into work but think it was the wrong decision

Didn't want to read and run @Samthenanny so just wanted to say sorry you are going through this.

I know it can be worrying but from what I've read from other ladies I don't think it is always bad news.

You could try ringing your local EPU but I'm not sure if they will be able to do anything before 6 weeks. Sending lots of love x

Unfortunately there's nothing you can do if you are but don't lose all hope yet. I'm assuming you haven't had a booking appointment yet so contact your GP and they should refer you to your local Early Pregnancy Unit for a scan. It's still early to see much on a scan but they may be able to tell you some info and book you in for follow up if they can't be conclusive.

FWIW I had bleeding early on in both my pregnancies, my second DD I had big clots and bad cramps for hours one day at 8 weeks but all was fine and she's nearly 2.

Hope you can get seen soon, I would go home and rest up so you can focus on getting some help. Take care x

@Nursemumma92 & @rosecbrm
thank you for replying.

@Nursemumma92 did you have cramping when you bled?

it’s got worse, from light dark brown to now red and a change of pantyliner so I’m not hopeful now. I’m going to ring the GP in a bit as I’ve got a really tight chest also.

Yes I had bad cramps and thought that I was definitely having a miscarriage.

Definitely call your GP, and if you can't get hold of them then Google your nearest EPU and call them- some of them accept self referrals or could advise how to get referred if you can't get a GP appointment.

Really hoping everything turns out ok for you ❤️

Hi OP hope you’re okay. Please get checked. I had started off with brown discharge and spotting. And then had a heavy bleed but no clots, no tissue no normal miscarriage pain. Still had pregnancy symptoms and I ended up having ectopic. Not trying to scare you or worry you but I just want you to get checked please.
