10 weeks pregnant- bleeding & clots any hope?

[Foreverdancingtothemusic]

So I appreciate the only way to find out is to see a doctor- but I cant see anyone for over 2 weeks

I had a scan 3 weeks ago showing a viable pregnancy with a heartbeat. My hcg levels were high and I have previously had an unsuccessful twin pregnancy (one baby was delivered healthy at term)

They couldn’t get a good view, so did two scans a week apart on the NHS but both times couldn’t see a second (they were worried about a second one being there but ectopic). A consultant was involved as they couldn’t see any pregnancy on an internal scan, only on the abdominal but couldn’t get any view of my left ovary on either scan. The consultant discharged me and told me to continue maternity care as normal but to go straight to a&e if I had pain or bleeding.

I have also had a private scan who were more thorough than the NHS and she pointed out I have a subchorionic hematoma, but if the NHS haven’t said anything then it must be OK, but to mention it at my 12 week scan.

yesterday I suddenly felt like I was wetting myself and went to the bathroom to find bright red blood and passed two clots so went to a&e. We are currently on holiday in another part of the UK.

I was seen by a junior doctor who did an abdominal check and an internal exam and then said ‘I think everything is ok, probably just a miscarriage but need to do a scan to confirm. They didn’t have anyone there qualified to do an ultrasound and as it’s Easter weekend won’t have anyone before we leave. I was then discharged as they couldn’t confirm a miscarriage.

she didn’t seem to take any notice of what I was saying about what the consultant had said.

I have had no pain or bleeding since the intial 15 minutes.

I am now in a strange position as my local hospital won’t see me in a&e as I have been discharged so need to wait for an available scan and they don’t have any availability in the next 2 weeks.

we are currently trying to book a private appointment as I don’t want to wait 2 weeks.

I completely understand I need to see a doctor but just reaching out as I am holding on to any glimmer of hope x

I had a huge bleed for 10 days passing clots and very much like a heavy period. Assumed I had miscarried again, but saw my now 6 year old there happy and healthy.
It was midway through the forat trimester. Can't remember exactly when.
Still hope!
If you've only passed a couple of small clots and haven't bled since, I'd say it's highly likely it was just the sch dislodging and passing. Fingers crossed

Thank you for your response. It was two large clots that were passed. I am not sure how to measure but each was probably the size of the inside of a cracked egg.

so for me it would be normal if I was having a period as I get clots.

my friends who have had miscarriages have presented differently- pain and then continuous bleeding like a period with clots.

I think I am just holding onto any hope!

The lack of pain is probably a good indicator.
My mcs have been different every time. Sometimes bled without pain for a while, sometimes cramps and then bleeding. Some huge clots some just blood.
Can you maybe go to a and e again claiming a fresh bleed?
Also, all my miscarriages once fully started didn't stop until everything had passed.
2 weeks is a horrible wait x

Yes I had this and all was fine, some people just bleed. Fingers crossed for you x

I had a huge bleed with clots around 6 weeks, was sent home from A&E with suspected haematoma and with an appointment for the EPU 2 days later. Pregnancy confirmed with an internal scan, no further bleeding, and a healthy pregnancy to term.
I had no pain so although I was obviously worried about miscarriage the lack of any pain gave me hope.
I hope you can get an earlier scan, 2 weeks is a hell of a wait!

Had this with both pregnancies repeatedly (with large clots) and both were successful. In your case you already have an explanation, the subchorionic hematoma. In your position I would try to remain neutral (easier said than done) and get a private scan if you can.

I had heavy bleeding a week and a half ago there was bright red blood gushing out of me for a good hour. No reason for bleeding seen on scan and so far so good but I’m still spotting brown.

Thank you all for your responses.

I have had two scans since and baby was there fine in both- one mentioned they could see the SCH but no really reason to be passing clots.

I had another ‘episode’ and ended up back in a&e and baby was still there and had grown in line with expectations but couldn’t see a reason for the clots. They did warn it might be the placenta ‘not taking’ or it could be one of those things.

I am still bleeding but they have told me not to go back to a&e unless I have severe pain or filling more than three pads an hour.

your responses were very useful and hopefully it’s just one of those things…albeit stressful!
