Miscarriage?

[summerly]

I'm 9 weeks pregnant tomorrow. On Saturday night I noticed some 'pinkness' when I went to the loo. Its started and stopped but today its back again. Like blood stained mucus, and its fresh blood. We went the GP today and have been to referred to the Early Pregnancy unit for a scan on Wednesday morning.

The wait is intolerable. I have convinced myself I am miscarrying. It almost seems easier than to hope, that way I feel I can emotionally prepare myself. My partner is far more positive. This afternoon I have some slight period type pain. My partner thinks that as this is the time that I would have been due to have a period the bleeding might be nothing to worry about, I'm less convinced.

Wednesday seems like such a long time to wait, and the more we both read online the more difficult it becomes.

Does anyone have any experiences of this. Good or bad?

Thanks

Hi hun. I do have direct experience of this in 2 out of my 3 pregnancies. With my first child I had bright red heavy bleeding at 6wks for 2 days, which trailed of to a brown discharge for several more days. I had a scan which showed a strong heartbeat. That baby is now a healthy 8yr old. In my last, twin pregnancy, I had a sudden gush of bright red blood at 11wks, and lots of menstrual-like cramps - those babies are now healthy 11 month olds

Bleeding in early pregnancy is very, very common, and not always a sign of impending miscarriage. If your cervix is closed, there is no increase in bleeding, nor intense cramps, then the signs are good. If they detect a hb on the scan, then the chances of a miscarriage occuring are extremely slim. Hard as it is hun, try to relax. I have had lots of experience of exactly what you describe, and for me it has never led to miscarriage. Good luck, and let me know how you get on xxx

Hi Hun
Read my post on here re. blood loss at 13+3 weeks. I had results back from urine test today and all is normal. The blood loss is unexplained but some women do get periods throughout their pregnancy.

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the replies. I still have the same blood loss, its not at all heavy and I'm not cramping. So maybe there is hope?

I'm just finding it so hard. I've read so much that I know there is a real possiblity this pregnancy is not viable, and yet I still dare to hope.

Tomorrow cannot come soon enough. I'll let you know how the scan goes.

Hi Hun,

Both my pregnanies have had spotting in the first trimester and this second one i had heavier blood loss in the second trimester too. My youngest is 19months and i am 36weeks pregnant now. I'm not saying everything will be fine as you never know until you are holding your baby in your arms, but what you describe doesn't sound that bad... i had a miscarriage before i had my first and although i didn't have any cramping with the miscarriage (have with both these pregnancies) the bloodloss was a lot more than you have described mainly with tissue which i think is the main thing you need to be concerned about (but you haven't had this).

I really hope everything turns out fine, the waiting is horrible, but don't worry too much, it's actually very common to experience bleeding in a normal pregnancy..

We went to the early pregnany unit today. The scan showed a pregnancy sack, which would be usual for 6 weeks of pregnancy.

We know we are 9 weeks and that we have miscarried. We have to return next week for a re-scan just to check how things are. This is apparently protocol in case the baby has grown and our dates are wrong. But we know they are not. The nurse agreed with us but stated we had to wait the week.

We're both devasted.

The bleeding has increased to almost like having a period. I have no idea what to expect.

Thanks for all your support.

Hi Hun,

I'm sooooo sorry to hear this ( I'm sending you hugs xx From what you have said it sounds like it might be a blighted ovum, that's what i had but it was discovered at 13wks. It won't help now but if it is a blighted ovum they are quite common, are nothing that you could have done and are just a random occurance so don't impact anything for the future. This won't help right now, only love and time. I hope you both have each other and take your time to get through this. It's a very hard time but does get a little easier to bare... If you want to ask me anything i'm here xx

Take care xxxx
