So the last few weeks I’ve had tiny tiny amounts of spotting which triage said don’t come in just monitor it, and now I’m 19+6 the last week I’ve had random intense cramping right on the uterus which only lasts 5 mins max so I just sit down for a bit and am fine ( don’t worry with pain relief as it passes). I was thinking after some googling maybe Braxton hicks.
After a bit of spotting today I rang triage who said to come in, they checked heartbeat ( which they found after ages, anterior placenta) and checked my cervix which has no sign of bleeding and are closed.
The doctor was really difficult to understand and said bleeding and cramps can be a sign of miscarriage don’t do your nightshift tonight just rest and take pain killer if needed. I said I don’t need any pain relief and should I be concerned ? She said “ no need to worry as cervix are closed and the cramps could be stretching” ( it does feel like more than stretching though doesn’t last long ).
My point is how the hell can I not worry when she’s mentioned miscarriage ? And do I just work as normal next week ?
Hoping someone knowledgable can help me decode all of this as I’ve never had a baby. Though I did have a loss last year which has made me super anxious.
