Could this be a miscarriage? I'm terrified!

[Kaylo]

Hi everyone, theres gonna be TMI in here so I apologize in advance.

I'm (hopefully) 5+5 weeks pregnant with DC3. Last night I started bleeding, looked like mucus/snot mixed with blood - bright red!!

I checked again 10minutes later and it had gone browny/reddish in colour so thought phew maybe it's gone! Just a blip maybe?

This morning I went for my usual morning wee and there were clots Quite a few of them each about 1cm, I'd say there were 4 or 5 altogether. Blood was still red and has been a steady flow for most of the day.

Now however there is barely any blood - it's never been heavy - just when I wipe iykwim. And now it's just a little bit red now and mainly brown, but theres hardly anything there.

I'm confused, scared, and worried sick. I've never bled with my previous 2 pregnancies, and never miscarried.

Please advise me on what I should be thinking.

I've got an appointment at the EPU on Friday where they're gonna scan me.

Hi thanks everyone

I've been in the hospital most of the day, one partner is now home which is good news but we are both very upset.

The scan is still showing the sac with the baby in it (but no heart beat). The scan on Tuesday showed the baby as being 7.5mm and today its only 6.4mm.

They wouldn't let me take my scan picture home on Tuesday but have given it to me this morning, which has helped a little.

Still in an awful lot of pain and bleeding heavily.

Last night was horrible blood everywhere.

At the moment I'm at a loss as to what to do have spent most of the day in tears.

Kaylo, I will be praying for you on Friday, please let me know how it goes.

I will keep you all updated as to how things go on Tuesday.

Kaylo, thinking of you today! I have everything crossed toes, legs, arms, fingers!!

Kisses, I am so so sorry. xx

hi im new here, sorry for butting in but i am slightly emotional after reading kaylo and kisses situations. i am only two weeks gone and this is my 2nd but i am having loads of pain and worried for a m/c also. i dont remember these with my first. my husband is offshore for a month and cant tell any1 till im further on as dont want to jinx anything. i feel a little alone.....
hope all goes well with u kisses. xx

i also hope u are ok today kaylo, xx

What time is your scan today Kaylo?
Hope you are feeling better today.
Thinking of you

First of all Kaylo

My thoughts are with you today I will be praying for you, please let us all know how you get on xxx

Piprabbit, I'm not doing to good i'm exhausted bleeding very heavily still, the scan revealed yesterday that my little bean is still there inside the sac but has shrunk from 7.5mm on Tuesday to 6.4mm yesterday. and the sac has got lower, they have said i'm almost certainly miscarrying.

They gave me my options of leaving nature to take its course or having a pill yesterday and then going back 48 hours later to having something inserted internally and then being admitted and letting nature takes it course or straight in for the D & C. I don't feel like I want to have medical intervention would feel too much like a termination which I don't want and this baby was very much wanted.

I am therefore at home taking it easy with the doctors on stand by if I need them.

My partner is now home and will be home until everything is over. I have to go back to the hospital again on Tuesday.

Thank you for all your support I really appreciate it xxx

Bambino02,

Please ring your GP and request that they send you for an early scan, I know you are only 2 weeks but they will still see your little bean and it will put your mind at rest.

I very much hope that everything will be ok for you take care

Kisses - I am glad that you have the support of your DP, and that you and your doctors have come up with a course of action. It doesn't make the reality any more bearable, but having some degree of choice about what is happening to you can make you feel more in control of a frightening and chaotic situation.
Keep taking it easy, let DP look after you.

kisses

thank you for ur advice, i will be calling them first thing on monday as i am in the middle of transfering doctors and no one will see me till then. its terrible but they dont see it as there problem, only means i have the weekend to worry now!! great!! i think i may be over reacting as we planned our second and i have had so much time to think about it and want it more than ever, not that our first wasnt but we were more shocked with her. i will keep u posted. you are so brave to continue to give advise and help everyone else through there worries when u have been through such an ordeal. i hope u are a little better and hope that there is light for u at the end of the tunel. xxxx

Well, mc was confirmed today by abdominal scan and an internal scan. They also thought it would be useful to do a pregnancy test on me.

So I'm off to start TTC again xxx

As you can see - trying to be positive about it all. But I've done my crying, determined not to stay down about it.

I really hope everyone is ok!!!

Smiles to all

Oh Kaylo I am so so sorry. But I am so glad you seem to be upbeat about it all.

Hope you will be back with good news soon.

Right, have finally read thru a few posts - sorry I just really wanted to get the bad news down first!!

Thank you all for your lovely kind and thoughtful words - I'm so grateful as you've helped so much thru what is a truly excruciating experience.

I am sorry to anyone that has gone thru this, is horrendous!
I can honestly say it has opened my eyes on TTC, I finally realise that BFP does not = baby.

Ilovesprouts I'm sorry your dd lost a baby - that must have been a very mixed day, glad for still being pregnant and so so sad for losing one - my heart goes out to you/her.

Bambino Relax, I know its a very scary time to go through, early days are the worst ever. Stay on this thread and we'll help you cope through whatever you need us to (((hugs)))

kisses Make sure you do take it easy!! It's a very fragile time to go through - it's great that your partner is there to support you, being alone and going through this must be torture.

Ant Thank You for checking on me, my scan was at 9:45 but didn't get in until 10:25 not that it matters - it was an extra half hour of me believing I might still be pregnant.
Are you still on conception? I'm coming back over in a few weeks - see you there?

Right, I'm gonna go tuck into my take away I think. Sod the healthy eating today. And I've been a rebel and NOT taken my folic acid

Take Care Everyone

xxxx

kaylo,im so sorry sending you big hugs xx yes its a very mixed time as dd thought she had lost her baby,she must of been having twins thanks so much for your kind words xx

Kaylo, I'm so sorry I do know exactly what you are going through.

I'm in agony at the moment and thinking about asking the hospital to intervene not sure though.

My little bean is still inside me and whilst I recognise there is no hope I want him/her to come out naturally not with medical intervention.

Bambino, I agree with Kaylo stay on this thread we are here whenever you need us for advice and try and relax and call that doctor on Monday morning xx

Take care everyone xxx I will still be checking in and letting you know whats going on if thats ok and sorry if i'm boring anyone xxx

kaylo, i am so sorry for ur loss, i really hope that something good comes from the bad, my thoughts are with u a this time

kaylo&kisses thank you for ur advise and for making me feel like im not alone. no pains today? feel majorly sick though . its funny that i was at an engagment party last night and i feel as if i had drank 20beers this morning i never realised water gave u such a hangover.

hugs to both u guys and i will stay on here to keep u's updated. thanks again

Kayzr I've only just noticed that I didn't put your name in that last post. I'm well confused. I was so sure that I'd typed it in.

Jeesh I'm losing my mind

I wanted thank both you and Ant (and everyone for that matter) for checking in on me. Feeling a little empty today. Still not bleeding heavily but expecting it to come anyday. Funny thing is tho - the nurse/midwife person yesterday said there was nothing at all shpwing up or ;eft to come out?? I'm well confused.

Bambino Yep, special brand of water especially for pregnant ladies Hope you're well!!

Kisses If you're in so much pain I'd definitely ask for advice from a midwife/doctor. x

I hope you're all taking care of yourselves!!

xx

Kaylo..Im so sorry that the news wasnt good..be kind to yourself over the next couple of weeks

Thanks Memorylapse

And I hope you've seen the last of all the scary problems that have troubled you. I sincerely hope that all you May 10'ers have no more losses, or problems. Please just have healthy babies.

I warn you now tho....Kaylo will be back...I'll be watching you all....

kaylo

im feeling alot more positive today. waters all around lol

will be back intouch very soon to let u's know how i got on at the midwife

xxx

Make sure you do chick, we'll be waiting on your news

xx

Oh Kaylo
So sorry it was bad news, was hoping it would be all ok. Glad to see you are feeling positive about moving on and getting back to TTC. Hope your DH and DCs have been taking care of you.

I haven't been back over to conception yet DP and I had been tryin for nearly a year now (Iknow its not that long) He is getting quite anxious, as he wants DS to have a sister/brother. But we are thinkin of starting back up again next month (fingers crossed)

So I might see you back on the usual thread.

Take care of yourself.

Ant I hope so much that we both get BFP's in the VERY near future.

And make sure that you take care of yourself too. TTC is very stressful and I know it's not easy to relax through the process especially when it takes a while.

Did you read about Whitty? She miscarried too Seems to be the thing for September. I wish we could all just get pregnant, stay pregnant and have healthy babies.

Theres my 3 wishes. Heres hoping they come true.

Keep smiling honey xxx

Hi Kaylo,

The problem I have at the moment is that my little bean is still inside me, no sign of coming out yet. Although the hospital have told me i'm miscarrying (still huge amounts of bright red blood with very large clots).

Can't sleep, can't eat if I go out I get into a panic attack and have to come home.

I have hospital again on Tuesday morning.

They did give me my options and I chose to miscarry at home with only painkillers because I didn't want medical intervention because that would feel too much like a termination and this baby was very much wanted and I don't want to feel like I killed my baby which is what it would feel like.

If however on Tuesday when I go back to the hospital I have no choice but to have a d & c then I will have to think about it.

My partner is supporting me in whatever decision I decide to make, but I know its killing him to see me in so much pain all the time.

For now i'm off to bed to try and get some sleep.

Hope everyone is ok. How are you doing Kaylo? xxxx

Hang in there Bambino and make sure you make that call to your doctor first thing on Monday morning, I have no idea where everyone lives but i'm in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom.

Wishing everyone a peaceful night. xx

guys im on my way to hospital having major shooting pains in my stomach. i am so worried and feel sick!!!!

will let u know how i get on, fingers crossed i am so gutted....
