For any expectant mums that have suffered heavy bleeding and clotting in their pregnancy you may find my experience interesting. I am now 30 weeks pregnant with my first baby and we are both healthy. I however, had a very rocky start experiencing heavy bleeding at 10weeks. I lost alot of blood at work and continued to bleed for about an hour soaking sanitary towels and filling the toilet bowel. The bleeding stopped shortly after passing a large 'clot' about the size of a plughole...i of course thought i had a misscarriage and was devastated. I spoke to a midwife who over the phone 'confirmed' i had lost the baby and made no further recommendation. My partner and i then spent the next few days mourning our loss. 2 days after, i started to pass brown blood. I was advised by GP to visit A+E. I had a scan which confirmed the pregnancy was still viable!? they couldnt explain the heavy bleed. The following week i had 2 further heavy bleeds, each time passing a massive clot. Hospital staff couldnt explain it. One nurse told us it was likely i was loosing the baby and advised it could take 3 weeks for a complete misscarriage....just the news you want to hear. It was an aweful time, i was afraid each time i went to the toilet. I was not offered another scan until the standard 12 week scan where the sonographer confirmed i had a haematoma (bruise inside the womb). This was breaking up and consequently i was passing blood. I had another heavy bleed that afternoon (the last time). At my 20week scan i was told the haemotoma was negligable. Our experience was horrible, made worse by a handful of medical staff that offered little support and advise. If you are in a similiar situation, please keep positive and look after yourself! i can certainly empathise. there is hope...i cant wait to meet the new addition to our family.
