I'm at the hospital waiting to be scanned now. I've had terrible cramps all night, could barely sleep with the pain and the blood is bright red. I can't stop crying. This would have been so much less traumatic if it had just happened when I first had the pains 10 days ago
 
Sugar we are here for you all the way...Please let us know how the scan went...thinking of you..
 
Well by some miracle they found a tiny heartbeat with a pregnancy sac and yolk sac measuring 5.5 weeks. I've got to be rescanned in 8 days. It could very well still be the
start of a miscarriage, but the sonographer said to be realistic but optimistic. The bleeding has pretty much stopped now, but still getting pains. They had no explanation for them. Been asleep since I got back.
 
Oh Sugar what a rollercoaster. Is it possible it was a blood clot that is making its way out? Remember what I said about blood being an irritant. I looked back at my notes and when I had my clot with Delilah, I had some very strong pains along with the bleeding. I'm so happy there was a hb. I'm so sorry it is wrapped in worry. Hang in there little bean.
 
Thanks Hearty. She couldn't see any bleeding on the scan and was at a total loss to explain what's happening. I asked if it could have been a twin, but she said there's no sign and I would have passed some sort of clot by now probably. I'm an absolute wreck at the moment
 
hi guys thought id pop back in hope you dont mind xxx

sugar i hope everything is ok xxx
 
Oh sugar what a few days its been for you praying for the best and a hb is a great outcome although scary I know. With this pregnancy they kept saying to me the same thing realistic but optimistic they couldn't find a reason for the bleeding (same with Benjamin) then bought me back for a scan 10 days letter & babies growth wasn't what it should be so we had to then go back a week later I was convinced we would lose the baby & they didn't seem overly confident but our scan a week later showed a healthy baby who's growth was bang on were it should be. The sonographer was a little shocked and couldn't explain it. I was a mess and very confused but it all worked out.

Massive :hugs: thinking of you.
 
I've been told more than once that the reason they don't like to do such early scans is because it is so difficult to get a good read on what's going on. There are so many things that they can't explain in the early days. It took me 6 weeks to completely pass the clot with my last pregnancy. In the early weeks, they couldn't see the clot, it was only later that they detected it. I was also told that I had an irregular gestational sac and no yolk sac. A few days later they saw the hb. So you just never know so early. I know a hb isn't a clear indication that the pregnancy is ok, but it definitely means things are going in the right direction.

Hi Jen! Good to see you.
 
Lucy and hearty was the blood you had bright red? I'm convinced my body was trying to pass something last night because of the contraction like pains, accompanied by the bleeding. I wore a pad last night and there was nothing on it this morning. It was only red blood when I was wiping. There's now no sign of any blood and the pain is much better. I don't know what the hell is going on. I'm on open access to the ward if things get any worse. All I know is, I've only ever experienced pain like that when I was miscarrying or in labour.

Lucy, where you tempted to pay for a private scan in between or did you feel it was best just to wait?

Hi Jen how are you doing? X
 
Sugar the fact that they picked up a heartbeat so soon is a really good sign! I remember with Hero i was so worried with my really low hcg numbers that i went for a scan 6+1 weeks. The doc picked up a heartbeat and said that it was a very good sign that things will go well. He is the doctor who always says what he thinks, he wont be afraid to get your hopes up or if things seem bad he will say it straight away.
 
Sugar the blood was bright red, I also had brown spotting. I had really bad pains too to be honest the pain with this pregnancy wasn't as bad as with Benjamin where I was literally doubled over but it was bad.

I never thought about paying for a private scan as they scanned me so regularly and didn't think it would give me more information. With this pregnancy the first scan I had showed a pregnancy but there was no hb I wanted them to scan me in a week times but the sonographer said she'd prefer to leave it 10 days (she was concerned a week wouldn't be a long enough time there was still a chance they wouldn't see the hb and didn't want to put us through another weeks wait as it happened we had to anyway despite seeing a hb) it was a horrid wait then they they were concerned with the growth so rescanned a week later as that was a positive scan they were going to sign me off but I said I was worried because of previous mmc so they agreed to give me another reassurance scan 2 weeks later. If I had any concerns the bleeding/pain got worse just to call them and they would see me straight away. I was very well looked after.

:hi: Jen how are you?
 
So pleased to read that sugar, finding a heartbeat is such a positive sign.

I had a HUGE bleed at 9 weeks with Zach, he was fine and they never could tell me why!

Thinking of you.xx
 
I've just been reading your pregnancy journal Lucy from when you first find out you were pregnant again. You certainly had a lot of uncertainty at the start too. It must have been awful having to wait so long between scans
 
Sugar, mine was pink at 5 weeks. Then it was dark red at 9 weeks with bad cramps. It turned to brown after that and was very intermittent. I didn't have bright red, but every other color it seems. Once the dark red blood passed and it turned to brown, I didn't have any more cramping that I can remember. They did finally detect a clot at 9 weeks and said it was near my cervix and was just bleeding out slowly. By 11 weeks I didn't have anymore bleeding and they couldn't see the clot anymore.
 
Oh, Sugar, thinking of you and praying for your little bean. I'm so glad they found a heartbeat and the pain is better. :hugs:
 
Hey guys just popping by.
Sugar I also had bleeding for over a month off and on with E. it's hard to optimistic but you really have nothing to lose by being so!

Best of luck! Hugs!
